Gov. O’Malley and Lt. Gov. Brown honored for their work on domestic violence
The Maryland Network Against Domestic Violence awarded Governor Martin O'Malley and Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown for their domestic violence prevention law.
The legislation took guns out of the hands of domestic abusers.
In an email to his supporters, Governor O'Malley wrote, "By giving judges more authority to confiscate abusers'' firearms, we will - I am confident - save lives."
Seventy-five Marylanders were killed in domestic violence disputes last year.
If you think you know someone in an abusive relationship - or are in one yourself - please call local law enforcement for immediate help or visit the House of Ruth.
