Good and compelling: Be rich

So in Maryland, the rule to get a concealed weapons permit was that you need to have a "good and substantial reason" to carry a weapon, and reading this article, it appears that a good reason would be "I am an attorney and carry large amounts of cash."

This indicates to me that if you are rich and need to protect your money, it is OK, but if you are poor and only wish to protect your life, then you deserve to die.
