this is why there is a 2nd amendment...when lawlessness breaks out one has the weapons to defend oneself
Like most black democrat run urban sh!tholes, Baltimore is intensely anti-gun and anti-self defense. The Baltimore city government (for that matter the entire state of MD), the Balto. police and the government apologists make self defense a more serious crime that assault.
It is virtually impossible for anyone except the very well connected (and judges of course) to get a concealed carry permit and has been for many years. This of course does nothing to deter criminals, but puts a severe damper on self defense - as is the intention. After all they don't want their precious black criminals to come to any harm while practicing their chosen profession.
It doesn't apply in Merryland, every one is so happy and merry, there is no need for self protection.
