  2. City takes steps to protect victims of domestic violence

    It takes incredible courage for a victim of domestic violence to apply for a protective order. Victims must make their way to the courthouse, often while they are still experiencing the effects of their abuse. At the courthouse, they must write a description of how they were abused, and then describe their abuse again to a judge, often in front of a courtroom filled with strangers. If the judge determines that there has been abuse, the judge will issue a temporary protective order that must be served by a law enforcement officer on the alleged abuser. Most of us do not realize, however, that until the temporary protective order is served on the abuser, these victims' cases cannot move forward to a final hearing. Victims remain in a place of limbo, returning to court again and again to renew temporary orders that provide only partial relief.

  5. Gun-control law to make ownership records private

    A little-noticed provision tucked at the end of the sweeping gun legislation approved by the General Assembly last month<b> </b>would shield from view key state gun records that now are public<b> &#8212; </b>a change that was pushed by gun-rights advocates during the intense legislative debate and passed unknown to the most ardent gun-control supporters.

  9. Law-abiding gun owners aren't the problem

    I am a gun owner, and like some others I have grave concerns about the use of guns in the commission of a crime. However, the actions taken by our legislature only penalize the law abiding citizen. Legislators had the chance to accept an amendment to the proposed law that would have increased penalties for gun crime offenders. The law abiding citizen is not the problem. The problem is our legislature's failure, as well as that of the judicial branch, penalize the criminal. Use a gun to commit a crime, and chances are the courts will only slap the hands of the criminal and eventually let them back on the street commit another crime. There should be mandatory minimum time in jail without parole.

  11. Maryland cyberbullying law: Protecting kids and speech

    Cellphones and the Internet have not only altered the way we communicate, they have changed the way we can injure one another. The telecommunications revolution has created the capability of causing far greater harm to children than the bullying many of us remember from when we were young. The omnipresent nature of the Internet means that there is no place for the child who is victimized to hide. Not even one's home is a safe haven when repeated, vicious attacks appear on Facebook and Twitter.
