This part of the MoCO360 article seems important:
"On March 3, Ye sent a 129-page “fictional story/manifesto about a high school shooting” to someone they knew when they were undergoing inpatient treatment at a psychiatric facility, according to charging documents. The documents refer to the...
FYI: the bill covers "firearms" and "ammunition" and specific "firearm accessories" . . .
The bill that crossed over is here.
I'm not a tax guy, but the revised bill seems to just substitute a new sales tax for the covered items, and may not be stacking a tax on top of tax (but Elfreth's...
According to some anti-gunowner law professors, (paraphrasing their law review article, which I am going back to dig up again):
'Contrary to gun nut claims, our research of court decisions shows that the 4th Cir is actually one of the most pro-gunowner courts of appeals, with no evidence of...
Today's argument is hitting the news outfits:

The article has a lot of good quotes, and puts names to some of the crazier questions and comments from the bench.

I'm tying the news about the bill back to this original thread:
A heavily modified tax bill passed the MD Senate.
Passed version seems to be here:
https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2024RS/bills/sb/sb0784t.pdf
It appears to now just simply raise the sales and use tax for evil gun stuff to 11% Gone...
I didn't see a thread, so hopefully not a dupe.

I am not sure if the National Park rules within MD borders follow the state's no-CCW restriction for state parks.
VA and PA and WV are totally free to CCW except in NPS buildings (from what I understand).

Anecdote of 1:
I recently took a 4hr pistol class at the NRA HQ Range in Fairfax. About ~15 students in total that spent most of the time on line firing at the 10yd. One student two points over from me and next to the wall had one of those backpack oxygen tanks that is mentioned here, with...
What a surprise; and the goobers (aka anti-gunowner Democrats) in VA just passed a bill requiring anyone storing a loaded firearm at a home with kids to keep it in a biometric safe (no exceptions for other locking mechanisms).

I booked a slot in the class, too. Thanks for posting this. I'd had a few intermediate level classes over the years, but have never been grounded on the basics.
I want to do his Sunday 4/21 "Intro to Rifle" class but I'm a poors :(
You'd have to get a real non-amateur legal opinion on what SB1 does, and what it exempts:
https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Laws/StatuteText?article=gcr§ion=4-111&enactments=false
On one hand it says:
(b) This section does not apply to:
(11) a firearm that is carried or...
This might not be a victory after all with SB1; the new language in 4-111 could be read to say that rest area buildings are no-go. I don't think we will get an answer without a test case.

There are some policies out there, but it's an open question on whether they will meet the bill's exact requirements.
Lockton Affinity has a personal firearm liability policy, and for years used to partner with the NRA before the Carry Guard thing appeared. Pricing is by coverage, and coverage...
A couple of points:
1) California's tax law, which is probably going to be the blueprint for this one, is here. It's pretty dense and introduces the concept of an "ammo vendor license." Discussions on well known boards and other places in the interweb explain how CA gun owners are planning to...
On the other side of the country this past summer, a generic gun liability insurance law in San Jose prevailed at the district court level (after what sounds like BS during the proceedings):
