| THE PERMIT IS REAL. THE RIGHT IS NOT. Patriot, After Bruen, Maryland had to start issuing carry permits. But instead of honoring the Supreme Court's ruling, lawmakers found another way to strip your rights away. Lawmakers passed a new law slapping "sensitive places" labels on buses, parks, and restaurants — turning everyday spots into off-limits zones and making your carry permit useless the second you back out of your driveway. Here is where a lawfully permitted Marylander cannot carry: Public transit Any establishment that serves alcohol State parks Healthcare facilities Museums Stadiums And MORE. That is the point. The list is designed to be long enough that the permit becomes decorative. The Second Amendment Foundation filed our reply brief with the United States Supreme Court in Novotny v. Moore. The Supreme Court has been CLEAR that the Second Amendment protects the right to carry for self-defense in ordinary everyday life. There is nothing exceptional about riding a bus or walking through a park. When Maryland was ordered to issue permits, it responded by making those permits USELESS almost everywhere, and other states are already copying the blueprint. Our brief asks the Court not to let that stand. We need to STOP it before it spreads. Donate in the next 5 min to help fuel the fight! Our final arguments are filed, and the countdown has begun. The Court could agree to hear this case as early as next week. That launches us straight into oral arguments — and we need to be fully resourced to hit the ground running. Help us fund the fight before time runs out. >> We do not have a state budget behind us. We have gun owners, like you. Your support is why we can continue to fight.
