The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen that New York’s concealed carry law violates the Fourteenth Amendment, by stopping “law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs” from practicing their Second Amendment right to bear arms.
The ruling will reverberate most in states that have similar laws that require applicants to show additional special need, which the opinion listed as California, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, and New Jersey.

I hope Maryland is paying attention to this ruling--they have many hoops for conceal carry petitioners to jump through. None should be legal by the constitution. The many hoops, in my opinion, is a good an substantial reason. You can't just say "self-defense" and and get a permit in Maryland.
correct. problem also being even if the conceal carry laws in MD get rolled back that state still has to many problems such as if the carry laws change you still shoot someone in self defense you will be charged with murder and there is no self defense or stand your ground laws in MD. Very Unfortunate.
Well, I do believe there is still self-defense, which is why, if you have to use a weapon, it is better to be tried by 12 rather than carried by 6.
