Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said Thursday he is planning to sign gun-control measures approved by lawmakers in response to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year.
The high court’s ruling in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen ended a requirement similar to a Maryland law for people to demonstrate a particular need to get a license to carry a concealed gun in public.
“We’re going through and checking on the constitutionality now, but, yes, I plan on signing them soon,” Moore, a Democrat, said.
Under the bill, a person could not carry a handgun in a preschool or prekindergarten facility, or on their grounds, or in a primary or secondary school, or in a health care facility.
A special purpose area is defined as a location licensed to sell or dispense alcohol or cannabis, a stadium, museum, racetrack or casino. The bill also prohibits a person from wearing, carrying, or transporting a firearm in a government or public infrastructure area if the area displays a clear and conspicuous sign at the main entrance indicating that it is not allowed.
