Maryland bill would force gun owners to get $300K liability insurance to wear or carry
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.
Did…did you even read the brief?
I think they mean, while on duty. That statement right there is just saying they don't get a pass while they're off the job, just because they're LEOs.
Doesn’t seem to, at least from the follow up
O damn, I stand corrected. Unfortunately lumping in the police to this means it has no chance to pass. The police unions won't let this move an inch.
Well it's not law yet. They're pretty good at pushing for tweaks to laws in their favor.
As the bill is currently written
Get back to us when it passes with that language in it.
No.
Federal officers are fully immune though.
Yes, they wouldn’t have authority over that
