A Solid Indicator That Gun Control is Failing in Maryland

Maryland Shall Issue supports reciprocity bill: Legislation would acknowledge permits across state lines.

quote:

The president of the grassroots group notes that Maryland’s violent crime rate is disproportionately higher than that of its neighbors despite the state’s overly restrictive gun laws and where permits to lawfully carry a handgun are almost always denied. He goes on to say, “Many residents of our neighboring states choose to spend their money by visiting the approximately 40 other states that, unlike Maryland, allow them the means to protect themselves and their families. Maryland’s violent crime rate, coupled with the restriction on the right to self-defense, dissuades many of our neighbors from visiting here.”


I agree, and that is why when I am working in Virginia, I choose to go to Virginia Beach instead of Ocean City Maryland.
