Gun-control advocates in Maryland said Monday a new law will save lives by enabling courts to temporarily restrict firearms access for people found to be a risk to themselves or others.
Del. Kathleen Dumais, a Montgomery County Democrat, said she believes lawmakers will discuss ways of strengthening the red flag law in the next legislative session. Now it allows police, medical professionals, close relatives or dating partners to seek a court order.
"I think we want to see how it is implemented, see what other states have done, but I do think that there will at least be a discussion of expanding the list of individuals that can file these particular orders," Dumais said.
