It’s truly sickening, the extent to which anti-gun judiciaries will go to justify layer upon layer of gun laws. Maryland requires one to get a Handgun Qualification License (approved training course plus a background check, with a 30-day processing period) BEFORE one applies for permission to actually buy a handgun (a so-called 77R, that entails a 2nd repetition of the same background check, with a 7-day processing period). In essence, MD requires an application to initiate a NICS, which takes minutes in most cases.
That’s like saying, sure - you have a right to abortion on demand. Just apply and wait for an Abortion Qualification License. Then, with that AQL in hand, just apply for a permit to schedule that abortion at a clinic. “Online Abortions” (ordering Plan-B pills) require the same process.
