Gun Groups Challenge Maryland’s “Sensitive Places” Law in Federal Court
Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and allied gun rights organizations have filed an appellants’ brief with the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, challenging Maryland’s restrictive “sensitive places” law. The case, Novotny v. Moore, questions the state’s limits on concealed carry in various public spaces, arguing that the restrictions violate the Second Amendment.
SAF, joined by Maryland Shall Issue, Inc., the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and three private citizens, contends that Maryland’s statute lacks historical precedent and excessively restricts concealed carry.
