Md. Senate Endorses Built-In Gun Locks
Groundbreaking Bill Advances to House
Daniel LeDuc, 03/28/2000, The Washington Post, Page B01

Senators from Montgomery and Prince George's counties and Baltimore helped push through a vote yesterday that would make Maryland the first state in the nation to require that all handguns be sold with built-in locks.

...

Most Republicans opposed the bill, but in the end, splits fell along geographic and ideological--not partisan--lines. Republican Leader Martin G. Madden (Howard) and Montgomery GOP Sens. Jean W. Roesser and Patrick J. Hogan voted for Glendening's plan. Ten Democratic senators voted against it.

"I'm certain the majority of my constituents favor this type of legislation. It's that simple, "Roesser said. "If it saves the life of a child or individual, it may be worth it."
