""Good and substantial reason" is unconstitutional and is therefore unenforceable. Full stop.
However, Maryland's other requirements for a carry permit are not directly affected by the decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen. While Maryland cannot require a "good and substantial reason" for permits, its training, fingerprinting, and background check requirements for a carry permit are still the law. NYSRPA did NOT convert Maryland (or any other state) into a "constitutional carry" state. Carry permits issued by Maryland are still required by law to carry a handgun in public. Maryland still does not recognize carry permits issued by any other state."
