A coalition of 21 state attorneys general is asking the Supreme Court to strike down a Maryland law that denies concealed carry permits unless applicants can convince local officials they have a “good and substantial reason” to be granted one by local authorities.
…
Apart from West Virginia, the other states that participated in the brief are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, and Utah.
The case is Malpasso v. Pallozzi.

Hey Baltimore, how’s all that liberal anti gun anti police working out for you.
Takes fly over states to force you to be American and respect the constitution.
There is little hope you will change.

I thought that McDonald already answered this question. No?

Mcdonald decision was that 2A applied to the states.
Heller decision was that the 2A was an individual right.
The court has thus far avoided the issue of whether 2A guarantees the right to bear arms outside the home.

Well that amicus brief was well written and to the point. You have to willfully and
knowingly disregard the Founders' intent to come to any different conclusion.

I like to do a Founding Fathers type of quote on the back of our Christmas card every year.
Here's the 2019 version....
Although, I did go with a more contemporary Churchill quote last year...
