RE: maryland gun law question
Guns and drugs do not mix.
If you get caught DUI - driving under the influence in Pennsylvania. You could be classified as a habitual drunkard or drug user.
Which would screw your chances of getting a pistol permit or purchasing a pistol under the new gun laws.
Being on probation for a year would also keep you from purchasing a gun, as they do not allow you to own guns while you are on probation.
You ought to commit yourself to a institution - drug and rehab program on your own - instead of court mandated and clean up your act.
There is no call for a person to be a doper.
It's just a waste of time and money and it only leads to more violent crimes.
