Welcome to the People’s Republic of Maryland.
The Land of Peasant Living.
‘cause.
“Because it is my right as an American citizen to carry a weapon.”
“Sorry, not a good enough reason. Next.”
Is there a blank to fill in for the reason? If so, I’d think writing “Baltimore” would work.
“Justice” John Roberts will decree that the 2nd Amendment means whatever the state of Maryland says it does.
The entire Constitution is under massive attack by the left. Who could have imagined 50 years ago, that the left would feel so emboldened as to directly attack the first amendment as they are doing now.
Hi.
The best reason I can think of for carrying concealed IS the government.

The reason?
The need to kill attacking oppressors
The end goal of these people is to take guns from non-violent people and leave them in the hands of violent criminals.
Self defense is a self evident reason.
You know, the more kinder, gentler 2nd Amendment, 2A-ish... or 2A-Lite
From related threads…
The states have given Congress the express 14th Amendment (14A) power to make penal laws to discourage state actors from abridging any of our constitutionally enumerated rights, including 2A.
From the 14th Amendment:
"Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 shown above, had included 2A when he read the Bill of Rights as main examples of privileges and immunities that 14A applies to the states.
John Bingham, Congressional Globe. (See 2nd Amendment (Article II) about in middle of 2nd column.)
Also consider that the Supreme Court had indicated that 14A gives Congress the power to strengthen constitutionally enumerated protections.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.

We’re still stick with a worthless Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration that will predictably continue to sit on its hands while renegade states oppress citizens by trying to take our guns away.
The remedy for constitutionally failed federal and state governments…
Patriots need to elect a new patriot Congress in the 2020 election that will not only promise to fully support PDJT’s already excellent work for MAGA, now KAG, but will also do the following.
New patriot lawmakers also need to promise to exercise their express 14A power to make penal laws to discourage state actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated protections, including 2A.
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)
Depending on the politics of your local sheriff, we have had this bs for decades in California.
I’ll take Government for $200 Alex......
How about “Even democracies often elect dictators and someday America will elect one and then every American will need to arm themselves to fight oppression. What is legal and moral now can be made illegal tomorrow and peoples can be selected for genocide and I don’t want to be a hopeless victim.”
I was going to visit my daughter at Ft.Carson.
A guard at the gate asked me if i had a weapon.
I didnt lie.
He asked me why i needed a weapon.
I said its not tbe bills of needs, its the bill of rights.
He denied me entry
