True, but there are quite a few Marylanders who do legally use firearms to protect themselves, as we see in stories here. Even though we do not have a codified Castle Doctrine, existing case law does give us sufficient precedent that someone who does a firearm to defend one's home from an intruder is most likely not going to be charged with a crime for doing so.
That being said, it'd still be nice to have a real Castle Doctrine as well as Shall Issue policies for concealed weapons permits. But one can dream, right?
Very similar to Virginia in terms of Castle Doctrine, although various gun rights groups here are trying to push a Castle Doctrine through. We have the case law precedent also, but why have to worry about that?
We’re pretty reasonable with respect to CWP.
