As the bill is currently written, local and state law enforcement officers are not exempt from the insurance requirement.

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.

      You’re Right. The Second Amendment is only a right for rich white people. Just like the 4th and 5th Amendments.

        I know right, how are poor people going to put food on the table if they are not allowed to carry a weapon in public?

          In your opinion, are poor people inferior to rich people as to whether they have the right to protest or protect their families? Do you cheer when a poor person’s child dies?

          I’m sorry, I’m just gonna block your alt-right ass now. I don’t talk to monsters and idiots.

            The subtext was no one needs a fucking gun and poor people should spend the little money they have on something a bit higher in the food/shelter priorities list.

            If your idea of protesting involves carrying a gun. You are going to get shot soon and the pigs will get away with self-defence, not very smart.

            If your idea of protecting your family involves a gun, I’m pretty sure in the US it’s statistically easier for your kids to shoot themselves with your gun so you are not really protecting them.

            I don’t cheer when a poor person child dies, how could you imply that. Are we talking guns or insulin here? Are guns keeping people alive?

            Not alt right sorry, been on the left for a few decades, before it became trendy on lemmy. It’s just that I can’t stand pro gun idiots I’m general, and it really saddens me when they are on the left, like the nra didn’t already have enough idiots supporters
