Second Amednment Foundation asks SCOTUS to end part of Maryland gun law

BALTIMORE (AP) - A gun rights group is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down part of Maryland's handgun permit law.

The Daily Record reports that the Second Amendment Foundation petitioned the court this week, saying the requirement that applicants state a "good and substantial reason" to carry a firearm violates the right to keep and bear arms.

The Bellevue, Wash.-based group says a constitutional right should not require a special dispensation from police and the too-vague standard allows broad discretion to reject a request.

Attorney General Douglas Gansler says he will oppose the request for review. The group sued on behalf of Raymond Woollard of Hampstead. In March, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a judge's ruling that the law violated the Second Amendment.

Senators now have two days to read and digest it before a Wednesday vote. Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), the lead GOP negotiator, said the bill contains all the most vital reforms Republicans have demanded and called it a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to close our open border."
