No Handguns On Streets
A 1971 Maryland crime spree is described with calls for strict handgun laws. The piece cites rising murders and rapes in Baltimore and surrounding counties, police failures to solve cases, and Governor Mandel’s push for laws banning on street carry and allowing warrantless searches for suspected gun possession. It notes 32 November city murders, handgun dominance in crimes, and broader fear in Bethesda, Columbia, and Anne Arundel County.
