EXCLUSIVE — Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen filed an amicus brief in a lawsuit over a Maryland county law he says is defying the Supreme Court's landmark Second Amendment test by establishing"unconstitutional" gun-free buffer zones.
Montana's assistant solicitor general wrote in the brief first provided to the Washington Examiner that Section 57 of Montgomery County Code"prohibits the sale, transfer, or possession of firearms '[i]n or within 100 yards of a place of public assembly.'" It's"practically impossible for a permit holder to legally carry a handgun for self-defense within the county," according to MSI's webpage.
The crux of the Bruen ruling held that constitutional gun restrictions must be analogous to the regulations that were in effect during the passage of the Second Amendment in 1791 or when the right to keep and bear arms was extended to the states in 1868 under the 14th Amendment. The brief was also signed by the attorneys general of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
