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.
“Beg for permission”
I know plenty of people in this state who’ve purchased handguns, and unless attending a safety course is a form of begging, you’re talking out of your ass.

As far as I’m aware (and I’m in a super gun happy place), it’s nearly universal that the local law enforcement agency signs off on most things like this. The tax stamps for suppressors/machine guns/explosives and the carry permit all go to them. Whether your area is a ‘shall issue’ or a ‘may issue’ is where you have to dig to find out.
May issue has become unconstitutional I believe, bit the holdout states aren’t exactly fast on the shallow issue directive.

Do you need to defend yourself from the local sheriff?!
