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.
Haha those we actually have. As long as people have been following the rules and not feeding them and locking up their garbage, they don't really like to go near humans. That said there have been problems of people trying to pet the big cats.
yeah, idk about you, but if the potential for a wild animal attack of some variety were to happen. I think i would be more inclined to have a weapon of some kind on me, then not, especially if i were rural.
yeah, the original comment was pretty vague though. I provided a reason why people, particularly those that live farther out of the city might want a gun.
I suppose the dallas argument is true? There are other reasons to own guns though.
I don't think the Dallas argument is true. Firstly because you're really unlikely to be bitten by a rattlesnake in an urban area, secondly because they sneak attack and so you would be unlikely to shoot one before it bites you anyway and thirdly, they have hospitals in Dallas that can administer antivenin and you don't have to waste a bunch of bullets in a futile effort to shoot a snake that's already bitten you.
Okay, since you're sharing links, how about sharing a link with me about how many people in Maryland have been attacked by a bear or a mountain lion in the last 10 years.
Actually, I'll make it even easier for you- how many people in the United States have been attacked by a bear or a mountain lion in the last 10 years?
You know, since bears wandering around neighborhoods that aren't in Baltimore (Howard county is next to Baltimore and a lot of it is rural- did you even know that?) are such a major threat that we need people to have AR-15s in downtown Baltimore.
If bears are enough of a reason to own a gun in downtown Baltimore, you can tell me exactly how many bear attacks there have been in the U.S. in the last 10 years.
Then tell me how many people in Dallas have been killed by rattlesnakes (which sneak attack).
