While I know nothing of Sheriff Bateman, I certainly have spent enough time around his opponent, Joe Delimater. He lives across the street from me. In the four years I've lived here in Glen Burnie (growing up in Severn), I've seen his personality change. I don't think he would be a good fit for...
The community letter did have have a disclaimer stating it was the opinion of the author. It never stated this was the view of the community leadership or that legislation for the community was being created based on these views. Unless they refuse to print an opposing view, it looks like...
I've waited about two weeks now and I can pick mine up when 2A opens on Thursday, but the rush, Christmas, and New Years are all playing into that too.
I walked in at 12:05 yesterday and there were 8 people in line at 2a, glad I was able to get to the counter. Kinda wished I had decided on a lower, but I had my heart set on a P226 so that's what I went with.

I have 2 boxes of 9mm rounds and have never had a 9mm in my house. My dad makes me spend my own money on ammo to shoot his pistols. And I just bought a Kimber 1911 .22LR conversion kit for the Kimber he owns, though he will be transferring it to me shortly.
As damosan said, breathing is very important, it can control the up and down of the barrel. I try to fire when I'm pausing after exhaling. Make it natural. don't hold your breath, but pick that moment before you inhale to shoot, it will stop your shots from straying too much vertically.
I hear you get a banjo when you register a canoe. I didn't have to register my kayak but I didn't know about the whistle rule either. Time to pick one up.
I'd be more worried about the arrow/bolt deflecting or shattering and causing shrapnel than just getting ruined if it hit a hard object like concrete. Arrows and bolts are cheap. Eye surgery isn't. Just a small concern of mine.
