Maryland may be predominantly democrat, but we certainly don't produce a Massachussetts or California brand of liberalism. In fact the state is mostly conservative if you cancel out Baltimore City and PG County. In every such instance I can recall (including the ones provided in the article)no home or business owner has been prosecuted in the state for killing and intruder in self defense. I am not saying that it has never happened, but I cannot remember it happening. I also note that every firearm that is legal in the United States is also legal in Maryland.
OBTW, say "hi" to Parris 'The Duck' $pendenning for me, willya? He quit talking to me ... musta been those hard questions about his rampaging liberalism.
