    Why "most notably in the home" for keep and bear per SCOTUS?

    A Federal judge for the Maryland District just shot down the State's requirement for a "good and substantial" reason to grant a CC permit. This is good. Except for one little quibble. This Maryland DC decision, building off of Heller and McDonald, still stresses that the right to be armed as...

    Groundbreaking SCOTUS decision on the Tenth Amendment
