The Maryland Supreme Court ruled Tuesday to end the long-standing practice of calling in firearms experts during criminal proceedings to testify that a particular gun fired a specific bullet.
A lawyer told Maryland's high court that a ban on gun possession by a person sentenced to over two years in prison for a nonviolent crime is unconstitutional.
Maryland’s highest court is considering whether experts should be allowed to testify that a specific gun fired a specific bullet or should be limited to saying only that the gun can't be ruled out as having fired the projectile in question.
Maryland’s top court will weigh if a ban on gun possession by a person sentenced to over two years for a non-violent crime violates the Second Amendment.
