Maryland County Approves 2A Sanctuary Resolution

According to Firearm Chronicles

After weeks of debate and discussion, county commissioners in St. Mary’s County, Maryland have declared the county a Second Amendment Sanctuary. The vote makes the southern Maryland county the sixth 2A sanctuary in the state, although commissioners and the county attorney stressed that the resolution is symbolic in nature.

Commissioner Mike Hewitt (R) asked, “If Annapolis passes some type of law that goes against the grain of the 2nd Amendment … is this symbolic or would we not enforce the laws from the legislature?” “This is symbolic,” [County Attorney David] Weiskopf replied. “If somebody has a problem with a law that’s passed then you go to court, which is what they did with the Maryland Safe Gun Act passed in 2010 or so. It went to the federal district of Maryland and it was upheld and the Supreme Court refused.” Compared to other counties, Weiskopf claimed he “wrote a pretty vanilla” resolution. “In Calvert County it says that any law passed for any reason for ammo or guns violates the Second Amendment,” he said. “I think you did a very good job with the wording,” Commissioner Todd Morgan (R) told Weiskopf.
