History

Historical Context

In 2008 the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 opinion by Justice Antonin Scalia, ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment guarantees a right to keep a handgun. The 2010 McDonald decision applied that right to the states, prompting Maryland to require a carry permit. Baltimore police arrested 25-year-old Adam Kuper for brandishing a Smith & Wesson 9 mm on I-95 without a permit.
