Maryland's Concealed Carry Law Set for Overhaul Amidst Legislative Changes.

Maryland's "concealed carry" law is set to undergo major changes, including dropping the prohibition on carrying a firearm within 100 feet of a public space and narrowing restricted spaces to schools, health facilities, polling places, live theater, stadiums, concert venues, or government buildings. Law enforcement, including retired police in good standing, and military are exempt. The legislation also prohibits taking a firearm into someone's private property without permission. The Senate bill is now in the hands of the House, which is already considering legislation to increase requirements to get a concealed carry permit and double the fees associated with the application to get one or renew one.
