Maryland’s gun permit commissioner ‘schooled’ by Second Amendment advocates

The former commander of the Maryland State Police Licensing Division admitted he was “schooled” by residents seeking concealed carry gun permits.

Jack McCauley, a former state trooper, told legislators he initially thought pro-gun activists and Second Amendment advocates were scary — but quickly changed his mind.

“When I met them, they schooled me,” Mr. McCauley said.

“They not only schooled me — they embarrassed me. They humbled me. I was wrong. I was completely wrong.”
