ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A federal appeals court has upheld a county law in Maryland that requires gun dealers to distribute a pamphlet about suicide prevention, conflict resolution and mental health resources. A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond ruled Tuesday in favor of the Anne Arundel County law that was approved in 2022. The panel rejected an appeal on First Amendment grounds of an earlier ruling by a federal judge from the gun rights group Maryland Shall Issue and four gun store owners.
