The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals<\/a> has granted Maryland’s petition for the full court to consider the state’s handgun licensing law that was struck down in November by a three-judge panel, Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown said Thursday.<\/p>\n

MARYLAND ATTORNEY GENERAL SEEKS COURT REVIEW AFTER RULING STRIKES DOWN HANDGUN LICENSING LAW<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The three-judge panel ruled 2-1 that Maryland’s law<\/a> requiring most citizens to obtain a license before acquiring a handgun was unconstitutional. Brown’s office requested the hearing for the full court’s review last month.<\/p>\n

The November ruling found it was unconstitutionally restrictive for Maryland to require people to obtain a license before purchasing a handgun. The process of obtaining a license can take up to 30 days.<\/p>\n

“I welcome the court\u2019s decision to rehear this case and will continue to defend common-sense gun laws to protect Marylanders from these unnecessary and very preventable tragedies,” Brown said.<\/p>\n

The underlying lawsuit was filed in 2016 as a challenge to a Maryland law requiring people to obtain a special license before purchasing a handgun. The law was passed in 2013 in the aftermath of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
