It is wide open. The wording is such that it means whatever an anti-2A MDAG or or county State's Attorney can convince a anti-2A MD judge it means, with words like "reasonable", and "in the totality" sprinkled in to make sure there are no objective standards that must be met. Plus, it's a strict liability statute; it specifically says that intent doesn't need to be shown to find the defendant liable.HB0947/SB0488 seems nuts. What's the definition of a "Public Nuisance"? Sounds like this becomes a wide open trap to go after anything for any reason.
This is one of the draft law templates Everytown is pushing in every state in order to put firearms, magazine, accessory, optics, and ammunition manufacturers out of business by inundating them with lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions, all of which need to be defended against.
On a related note, I haven't seen Esqappellate on here in quite a while. Is he okay? I'd love to hear his take on these types of laws that use the civil court system for abusive ends to achieve what couldn't be achieved through regulation or legislation because of constitutionality issues.
