US Appeals Court Upholds Maryland Handgun Licensing Law
Aug 23, 2024, 06:23 PM
A U.S. appeals court has upheld Maryland's Handgun Qualification License, affirming the state's licensing requirements for individuals seeking to purchase handguns. The decision maintains the validity of Maryland's law, which mandates a training class and background check, despite a 2022 Supreme Court ruling that expanded gun rights. The ruling was delivered by the 4th Circuit Court, with Maryland's Attorney General's office describing it as a victory for 'common sense' gun laws. However, the group Maryland Shall Issue has expressed intentions to appeal the decision.
