New State Laws Limit Self-Defense Options
Residents of at least two states could face a tougher time defending themselves with a handgun, as a result of new laws enacted by their legislators that just took effect.
Maryland on Wednesday became the first state in the nation to require that only new handguns with internal trigger locks could be sold in the state. Only six handguns meet the law's standards, and those firearms are relatively expensive, compared to weapons commonly purchased by civilians for self-defense.
What, exactly, do they expect this to solve?
