4th Circuit vs Maryland Carry: What’s Legal Now, What Could Change Next
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A major Maryland carry case is moving — and the consequences could be big.
In this episode, Duane Urban and attorney Andrew Saller break down the 4th Circuit’s ruling on Maryland’s 2023 “Gun Safety Act” / SB1 and why it matters for everyday permit holders.
If the ruling stands, more places could become legally off-limits — including anywhere that sells alcohol, public transportation, state parks, and even being within 1,000 feet of a public demonstration.
✅ What’s changing now?
✅ What’s NOT changing yet?
✅ What’s next: en banc or Supreme Court?
COMMENT: Which “sensitive place” ban impacts you the most?
