Bill 23-26E Updates County Ghost Gun, Public Assembly Firearm Rules

Councilmember Dawn Luedtke is the lead sponsor of Bill 23-26E, which revises Montgomery County firearm regulations in response to a recent Maryland Supreme Court decision. The bill aligns local ghost gun restrictions with state and federal serialization requirements and maintains firearm prohibitions near schools, parks, libraries, places of worship, polling places, courthouses, and recreational facilities. The legislation is intended to strengthen enforceability of the County's gun safety framework.
