Push for 'shall-issue' concealed carry in MD

Maryland SPECIFICALLY forbids you from using lethal force or even presenting a weapon in the case of robbery, eve nin YOUR home. You MUST feel that you are in imminent danger of great bodily harm or death and only if you have no avenue of retreat.

AND, and, and you can ONLY use lethal force or present lethal force for your own benefit or that of a family member. Strangers, to bad. Woman being beaten by a gang? To bad. Maryland FORBIDS you from intervening with lethal force or presenting lethal force.

Just another reason why I no longer live in Maryland.

Please reference the particular laws that you are referring to in the above quote. I'm not saying that what you print is not true but I am saying that most of the above is not being prosecuted for some reason. "Maryland SPECIFICALLY forbids you from using lethal force or even presenting a weapon in the case of robbery, eve nin YOUR home. " In all the cases that I'm aware of, the charges were brought by the bad guy for his own defense in a civil suit. Some of these civil suits have been successful. This tells me there is no law.
