The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) disclosed that a U.S. District Court Judge, George L. Russell, III, has instituted a preliminary injunction against the prohibition in Maryland on carrying firearms in areas where alcohol is sold, private properties without the proprietor's approval, and in close proximity to a public demonstration. The details of the ruling in Novotny v. Moore are accessible at FPCLaw.org.

Judge Russell stated in his order that the other statutes, mentioned by State Defendants, don’t align with SB 1’s limitation on places where alcohol is sold as they don’t place a ‘similar constraint on the right to armed self-defense.’ He elucidated that historical statutes only restrained those under the influence from carrying firearms, in contrast to SB 1 which enforces a blanket ban at alcohol-selling locations.
Cody J. Wisniewski, General Counsel and Vice President of Legal of FPC Action Foundation and counsel for FPC, expressed relief that the court acknowledged Maryland’s erroneous provisions and blocked the enforcement of certain aspects of its law barring peaceable carry permit possessors from bearing arms in numerous state locations. He added, however, that the court didn’t entirely accede to their motion, allowing the enforcement of limitations in certain areas, prompting FPC to contemplate their forthcoming actions.
