Excellent news. Score one for the good guys!!! I don’t know a whole lot about J.B Van Hollen - I remember only some of his campaign ads.
I’d love to hear a lot more of these announcements and I hope people will take advantage of this as I know in my area at least it won’t make the community any less safe, and other crimes will go down if criminals start to get an idea of how many armed people are around them.

I should’ve added that to be able to work with the Attorney General on a ‘shall issue’ CCW law would be nice... :) I know as a woman, CONTRARY TO WHAT MS. GESTAPOLITO thinks, I would feel very safe in my community with concealed or open carry of firearms because we have a lot of wonderful veterans who live in our area, and I would have NO PROBLEM if when they retire, or come home they carried a weapon either open or concealed as their preference.
We have nothing to fear from people having guns. What we DO have to fear are CRIMINALS having guns, and the people being UN-ARMED>
