If this was a legal firearms owner, he should be arrested, charged and his ccw should be revoked immediately and permanently.

If this firearm was owned illegally, Baltimore needs to bump up the sentencing for illegal firearms ownership. It should be no surprise our gun crimes are as high as they are, when illegal gun ownership is treated as a misdemeanor

It doesn't matter how long the sentence is, if charges are never brought in the first place.

Especially considering it’s much, much harder to get one here than other states.

the problem is that we have an incredibly low rate of actually catching such people. Scott's crime plan called for a lot more license plate scanners so this bullshit could be shut down, but Scott as been a complete failure so far.

This right here is the issue. The state will gladly pass a new anti gun law every year but turn around and let violent people back out on the street with little more than a slap on the wrist. Is it any wonder that so many incidents involve people known to police and with long rap sheets?
