Amid court ruling, Maryland suspends standard for gun permits

Maryland gun owners are no longer required to prove they have a good and substantial reason to carry a concealed weapon. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on Tuesday directed the Maryland State Police to suspend that provision of state law. The governor's directive makes it easier for legal gun owners to carry concealed weapons. The action comes after the Supreme Court's decision on gun control, ruling New York's law, that requires a good reason before someone can carry a gun outside their home, is unconstitutional.
