On September 30th, 2016, Maryland Shall Issue filed suit against Maryland’s enforcement of its Handgun Qualification License (HQL) requirement for the purchase of handguns. After over six years of litigation, the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit will hear argument against the HQL on its merits on Friday (3/10) in Richmond, VA at 8:30am. Marc A. Nardone of Bradley law firm is arguing on behalf of the plaintiffs. We look forward to promoting and defending Marylanders’ 2nd Amendment rights before the Court. The hearing can be listened to from the 4th Circuit’s YouTube page HERE. Find all of the important documents on our case page HERE. |
