Weapon with 4 loaded magazines & he gets PR. Come on Judge!!
Thanks to you clowns that keep electing libs in Maryland!!!
Law enforcement risking their lives with all the violence going on. Illegal guns being recovered seemingly on a daily bases. How Judges keep releasing these thugs on PR is unacceptable. Put them right back on the street to get another illegal firearm which endangers the law biding citizens.

Yeah, but come 1 October when SB-1 goes into effect, we will all be safer because legal, trained , vetted, and licensed concealed carry permit holders will be severely restricted on the ability to carry their registered, legal firearms. ThanK MD legislatures and our current Governor for making you safer…
