Will this strike down dc’s regs at all? I mean we have common sense gun laws. Will all that go out the window? What is the broader impact? |
When violent predators are heavily armed with illegal weapons, but law abiding people are defenseless because it is so difficult to legally purchase and license a handgun or rifle in DC, we do NOT have "common sense" gun laws. |
| I wish you guys in DC had the same rights we have across the river in Arlington. Hopefully you get them soon. |
| I wish MD had the same gun laws as DC. Then I could actually GET a permit to carry concealed. |
You can! It is even easier than in DC. |
No, it’s not. In Maryland it’s essentially impossible for most people. Clearly you know nothing about it. DC has a very straightforward permitting process. It’s time consuming, but it’s attainable for the general public. MD isn’t. |
LMAO! DC straightforward CCW process? Clearly you know nothing about it, or maybe you are mistaking DC for VA. |
Again you show your ignorance. Very sad. You should really stop embarrassing yourself
From MPD’s website: “Meets all the requirements for a person registering a firearm. Completed a firearms training course by an instructor certified by the Chief ( You may apply for an exemption based on previous training within the past 2 years) Is not presently an alcoholic, addict, or habitual user of a controlled dangerous substance, unless the habitual use of a controlled dangerous substance is under licensed medical direction. Has not exhibited propensity for violence or instability that may reasonably render a person’s possession of a concealed pistol a danger to the person or another. Does not currently suffer nor has suffered in the previous five years from any mental disorder, illness, or condition that creates a substantial risk that he or she is a danger to himself or herself or others.” The requirements are simple - live or work in DC, or be a resident of the United States. Be legally permitted to possess a firearm. Register the firearm to be carried with MPD. Complete/Pass a 16 hour training class with proficiency demonstration. Pay for permit application fee. Receive permit in about 90 days. Now tell me about Maryland.... |
So a 16 hour course vs a simple CCW class? The requirements you listed are pretty standard. Now if you want to list "conditions" to get a ccw, every state has those. Is at least 21 years of age Meets all of the requirements for a person registering a firearm. Possesses a registered pistol, or register one at time of CCL application. Does not currently suffer nor has suffered in the previous five (5) years from any mental illness or condition that creates a substantial risk that he or she is a danger to himself or herself or others provided that if the person no longer suffers such mental illness or condition, and that person has provided satisfactory documentation required under § 2337.3, then the Chief may determine that this requirement has been met. Has completed a firearms training course, or combination of courses. Has a bona fide residence or place of business; Within the District of Columbia. Within the United States and a license to carry a pistol concealed upon his or her person issued by the lawful authorities of any State or subdivision of the United States; or Within the United States and meets all registration and licensing requirements. Has demonstrated to the Chief good reason to fear injury to his or her person or property or has any other proper reason for carrying a pistol and Is a suitable person to be so licensed. Federal Law Requirements |
Now tells us what the permit process is for Maryland. |
| Hey OP here. Can we discuss whether the SC ruling will potentially cancel out any of our existing gun laws? I’m not excited to see more people carrying guns. |
Anyone who wants to carry a gun in DC can already go through the existing permit process, pay the fees, re-register their carry gun, pass a 16 hour training class, demonstrate proficiency and pass a law test, and get a carry permit in about 90 days. Are the people who do all that the ones you’re worried about carrying guns? |
