Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:17:28 GMT

A Montgomery County law placing limits on firearms oversteps state laws, according to a Montgomery County Circuit Court judge.Judge Ronald B. Rubin, in a decision issued Monday, said he will issue a permanent injunction blocking portions of the local law.“In summary, the comprehensive and intertwined scheme of existing state regulation preempts Montgomery County’s efforts … to place additional legal hurdles on wear and carry permit holders, state licensed firearms dealers and privately made firearms,” Rubin wrote in a 21-page decision.Rubin added that state law “simply does not allow a county effectively to nullify nearly all other state firearms rights and restrictions, at least not in the manner attempted in this instance. The court concludes that the challenged provisions of [county law] conflict with and are pre-empted by state law. A political subdivision in Maryland simply cannot prohibit (save for a very narrow band of activity not challenged here) wha...
