I've been watching this and the other carry cases very closely. Given how predictably the others seemingly have marched through the process, with loss after loss for the plaintiffs in the lower courts (Hightower, Muller, Kachalsky, Moore, Richards, Peruta, etc.), I was frankly ASTONISHED by this judgement. I would be equally astonished if MD just gave up... I can't believe they will, any more than Chicago and others of that... breed.
However... during the interim, is anything likely to happen for the people of MD in terms of the right to carry? I'm guessing not, if only because any right acknowledged now would be stripped away again if the appeal was lost, which just seems ridiculous... but a lot of this seems ridiculous to me anyways, so I have no way to know.
Any thoughts from the legal cognoscenti here?
