Key Points:

- The Montgomery County Maryland Circuit Court dismissed with prejudice a suit brought by the Attorney General's offices of Maryland and the District of Columbia against three Montgomery County firearms dealers, reinforcing that dealers can't be held responsible for criminal acts by third parties.

- The Fifth Circuit ruled that suppressors are not firearms and thus not protected by the Second Amendment, a decision seen as intellectually bankrupt and likely driven by a desire to avoid controversy.

- A blind man in Indiana received a concealed carry permit and used the occasion to call for "common sense" gun laws, sparking debate about the rights of disabled individuals to bear arms.
