Maryland House Democrats introduced a controversial gun safety bill requiring gun owners to forfeit their ability to wear or carry without firearm liability insurance.

Introduced by Del. Terri Hill, D-Howard County, the legislation would prohibit the “wear or carry” of a gun anywhere in the state unless the individual has obtained a liability insurance policy of at least $300,000.

"A person may not wear or carry a firearm unless the person has obtained and it covered by liability insurance issued by an insurer authorized to do business in the State under the Insurance Article to cover claims for property damage, bodily injury, or death arising from an accident resulting from the person’s use or storage of a firearm or up to $300,000 for damages arising from the same incident, in addition to interest and costs,” the proposed Maryland legislation reads.

    You can still buy, own, and shoot it. You just need to pay insurance (a very small one at that) to carry it around outside w/ you.

    The LW motto should be “your opinion is garbage” because there is clearly no sane argument to be made against this law

      Google “poll tax” so you can inform yourself why OP is correct legally.

        Zero idea what either of your points is tbh. 0 logical sense.

        You don’t have the right to take it into a Walmart and wave it around, full stop.

        A tiny lil baby insurance (esp for the police) is a good thing you dorks
