A U.S. District Court Judge recently ruled some parts of Maryland’s gun control law as unconstitutional but upheld other elements of the law.

Judge George L. Russell, III, ruled that it is legal to carry guns in businesses that sell alcohol for consumption on premises, in a vehicle that is within 1,000 feet of a public demonstration, or on private property without the express permission of the property owner.
