that gunshot fired a year
ago in East Baltimore

Maryland has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. They must
not really be that effective I guess.

Strict? What's strict about them? Maryland's gun laws have never
interfered with my purchasing guns or target shooting.

... But you can't walk out the door with a loaded pistol, mandatory
year in jail. You can't even carry a handgun in the car unloaded
unless you can prove you are going directly to or from a dealer, your
personally owned business, shooting range or other legal place to
shoot. If you stop at the grocery store on your way home, they can
throw your ass in jail.

Handguns are supposed to be registered with the state and private
sales are outlawed.

Pistol buyers are supposed to have a training certificate.

There is a magazine size limit (20)

How did that work out for the guy in Baltimore?

I have a carry permit and can carry a loaded pistol. However, the permit
is up for renewal soon, and I doubt I'll bother. I only shoot targets.

I don't have a problem with any of Maryland's gun laws, nor do I have a
problem with the Governor's proposal to make the laws even tighter.

The "training certificate at the moment is a farce. You get one by
watching a video at a gun dealer's.

Wow. A magazine limit. Wow. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
