Maryland’s Handgun Roster Board just shot down 17 semiauto pistols in ONE night—and when seven makers appealed, they all lost. In this fast-moving 25-minute episode of the Urban Defense Podcast, hosts Duane Urban and Andrew Saller unpack what happened, why it matters for gun owners and FFLs, and how a single missing board member changed everything. Additionally, Andrew talks about his legal challenge to these denials.
đź—‚ Key Take-Aways
 17 denied, 7 appealed, 0 reversals—all because the Board needed six yes votes but only got five.
