As I read the
Md Court of Appeals decision, it appears that Williams never applied for a permit.
Quote:

Williams acknowledges that he has “not filed an application for a permit to carry a handgun,” but asserts that as a result of the regulatory scheme, “any such application would have been denied.” The State counters that nearly 93 percent of handgun permit applicants from 2006 to 2009 were issued permits.

Ignoring the law because he believed it would have been denied?
IMO, his actions, or lack of actions, gives the Court both clear legal grounds and an easy out to decide not to take the case.
