Maryland Dems Push to Limit Licensed Concealed Carry on Private Property

Maryland Democrat lawmakers are pushing legislation that would bar licensed concealed carriers from carrying a gun for self-defense onto someone else’s property unless given explicit permission to do so.

On January 13 Breitbart News reported the origins of this push, noting that Democrats were promoting legislation that would ban legal carriers from being armed for self defense in public places.

Delmarva Now noted on January 31 that the legislation, the Gun Safety Act of 2023, also prohibits the licensed carry of a gun for self-defense on private property, unless the licensed carrier first secures permission from the property owner.
