Open Holster Day in Annapolis - August 1, 2009

[novus collectus]

I think I'll try to get in on this.

can we get a scanned copy of the permit incase we run into an uninformed officer?

anyoen want to meat up for lunch?

Boxcab is out of town at the moment, but I am sure once he gets back he can answer your question.

I need to get a holster, where can I get a left handed one that will fit a 1911? and not break the bank?

For the purpose of this demonstration, a borrowed holster worn on either side works as well.

Hello from Connecticut... not a gun shop for 50 miles!

I see no problem with hanging a permit, or copy there of, around your neck. As long as it looks as innocent as a typical office badge or name tag. Come on out and join us.

We are only a week away from our protest!

I think he meant the permit Annapolis issued for the protest.

Ahhhh.... too many beers and the blender has not stopped in days! (Where is that Party Smiley?)

I will copy the permit and have those available if you would like one. The best line of action would be my cell phone number and I will make that available as well. I have the cell phone number of the Officers I have talked to so any confusion can be quickly solved. I do not expect any problems, but will post later this week a guide to be used just in case. Let me rephrase that... There will not be any problems if everyone wears an empty holster, but, I will post a guide for those who would like one.

Man...this is an awesome idea. Unfortunately, I'm planning on being on the other side of the bay bridge well before that time on vacation.

It's interesting to note that over 40 of our sister states have "shall issue" or other carry laws that allow law abiding citizens to carry a concealed weapon to defend themselves and their families. There has been no "wild west" shoot out in any of these states. Law abiding citizen are just that, Law Abiding.

People in these “shall issue” States that choose to carry a concealed weapon go through a background check and are typically required to take a training course in firearms handling. Upon meeting those requirements they are issued a carry permit. There are extensive reports that show these armed citizens have been able to thwart crimes and protect themselves and others by having a concealed weapon with them. Often without ever having to fire a shot.

Each year several bills are introduced in Maryland, some with over 40 co-sponsors, which would repeal the requirement that a Maryland Citizen provide "good and substantial" proof that he or she has a requirement to protect themselves. Every year these bills get tabled or "desk drawer vetoed" by the chairmen of the House and Senate Judiciary committees before they can even receive a fair hearing.

It's time Maryland recognizes that as human beings and citizens of this great nation we have the inherent right to protect ourselves. It's time for Maryland to live up to it's nickname "The Free State" and join the majority of our sister states and commonwealths in enacting a "shall issue" carry permit law.

as luck would have it, we had a home inspection and the well went dry during said inspection. that means we are going to settle in the middle of august, not july 31st (would have knocked us out of the august 1st event) which means heres another two MSI members who will be there. we are looking forward to meeting you folks, cheers, woody.

I will have some extra hand outs for any one that wants them. The only bad thing is that they are on 2 pages.
