Guy's lucky he didn't get 1302'd...
The Montgomery County Council has expanded the area where firing guns is prohibited, with a few exceptions.
The newly defined urban area includes Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Delaware, as well as all of Maryland eastward to the Atlantic Ocean and westward to the western border...
The bill, which received unanimous approval during Tuesday’s County Council meeting, ...
This is why suppressors need to be removed from NFA. No transfer tax, NICS check only.
During those investigations, it was determined that the resident … resides outside the urban area, possessed several licenses issued by the State of Maryland that allow him, with certain restrictions to shoot firearms on his property.
It was determined the guy wasn't breaking any laws....so they made sure to change the law to ensure he would be breaking it.
There are several LARGE farms between Olney and Brink Rd, with plenty of space for shooting. How exactly is that "urban"? Sucks for the guy that was shooting. Hopefully he has the moxy and capital to sue.as far north as Brink Road in Laytonsville

Ayn Rand weeps
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.”
Hopefully he has the moxy and capital to sue.
Since when is it legal to discharge a firearm in one's own basement, as the article states?
Also, I feel slighted, as I cannot see the comments

Or sell the property to a developer that puts up very dense apartment buildings, including subsidized housing.
I wonder how much late night gunfire the neighbors would have to put up with after that.
