MD. SENATE COMMITTEE TO HOLD HEARING ON CONCEALED-CARRY RESTRICTIONS

A Maryland Senate committee will be holding a hearing on concealed-carry restrictions.  Members of the Judicial Proceedings Committee will discuss Senate Bill 1 which prohibits those with concealed-carry gun permits from taking their firearm within 100-feet of a public place. Those locations would include hotels, restaurants, parks, movie theaters, and retail stores. Some opponents believe the bill would essentially make it illegal for law-abiding concealed-carry permit holders to carry a gun in Maryland.
