Maryland House Democrats introduced a controversial gun safety bill requiring gun owners to forfeit their ability to wear or carry without firearm liability insurance.

Introduced by Del. Terri Hill, D-Howard County, the legislation would prohibit the “wear or carry” of a gun anywhere in the state unless the individual has obtained a liability insurance policy of at least $300,000.

"A person may not wear or carry a firearm unless the person has obtained and it covered by liability insurance issued by an insurer authorized to do business in the State under the Insurance Article to cover claims for property damage, bodily injury, or death arising from an accident resulting from the person’s use or storage of a firearm or up to $300,000 for damages arising from the same incident, in addition to interest and costs,” the proposed Maryland legislation reads.

    I’ll give the averse to reading a short story.

    One day, 'round the first couple weeks of the panda, I found myself needing to make a walmart run with my then-gf. As we’re walking through the parkinglot, some dude decides this is a good time to pull a knife. I decided it was a good time to slide the jean vest back revealing a glock and put my hand on the grip, he decided then that it would behoove him to put the knife away and calmly walk in the other direction. Idk what he wanted, could have been my wallet in this cashless society, could have wanted to chuck my GF into his van never to be seen again, didn’t want to find out. I ended up getting my groceries rather than robbed or murdered so I consider that a win.

          I asked for anecdotes, not for a completely made up story cowboy, sorry my last comment wasn’t sarcastic enough to make that clear. I’ll still give you that it was a well written one

            What do you think an anecdote is? My story, while not verifiable, is true. Don’t ask for it if you don’t want it chump.
