The Maryland county that is home to three U.S. Supreme Court justices who voted in June that the Second Amendment right to carry a gun outside the home cannot be easily restricted just passed a new law to contradict their ruling. The Montgomery County Council voted unanimously this week to restrict legal concealed carry permit holders from possessing a gun within 100 yards of places of “public assembly.”
Justices John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch are all Montgomery County residents and voted in the majority of the landmark decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen that forced states with restrictive carry laws to rewrite them or face new court challenges.
