SAF SUES IN MARYLAND OVER HANDGUN PERMIT DENIAL UPDATED 3-5-12

[esqappellate]

Is there a way to listen in to the teleconference? Doesn't this have to be conducted in public?

No and no. It will be on the record and that transcript will no doubt be available at some point.

 

[esqappellate]

Wow! 5 murders per person? That's pretty bad!

Damn those are badddddd odds

 

[Les Gawlik]

Just beware the possibility that the idjuts will start carrying even more brazenly and knocking each other off, thinking they now "have the right".

Not saying it will happen... but sure not saying it won't.

I suspect it may happen. I think it is highly likely that carrying a firearm will cause a number of problems. We will have to take the same approach to improper display and brandishing of concealed weapons that the people took towards drunk driving (without the heavy-handed, intrusive invasions of our liberty foisted upon us by the state).

Just the other day, some DemocRat political candidate (in Idaho, I think) pulled out a handgun, threatened store personnel, jumped in her car and fled. Abuse is an unfortunate, but unavoidable consequence of exercising civil rights.

See? This is EXACTLY what has Gansler so concerned.

My summary is thus:

"Freedom can be scary sometimes."

Already starting with the articles about carrying a gun. Here is one from an AP reporter regarding the Neighborhood watch shooting in FL. http://wtop.com/?sid=2794718&nid=884 "Holding a gun may make you think others are too".

Can't say I have ever had this problem while CCW.

I just cleaned out the carb on my KLR, so I may be a little fuzzy in the head --

What are the possible outcomes of this teleconference, and when would those outcomes come into effect?

Thanks in advance.

 

[rambling_one]

Sorry if this is a dupe...it's past my bed time.

Up to the Judge...we'll all be the wiser not too long after the telecon (could be hours, days etc)

FPS has a thread about it here: http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=78872

Agreed. But whether you are talking 2A or national politics, we have to be concerned about the court of public opinion, too. The answer is to move slowly, deliberately and inexorably towards our goal.

The main thrust of the article is about a study how people CWW perceive objects that others are holding. They briefly mention the FL incident.

Agreed. public relations is very important. We all need to be very aware of this responsibility.

I see the Judge showing extreme mercy in this case, in that he is calling for a teleconference. He either doesn't want to see a grown man cry, or he wants to fully restrain himself by keeping the AG farther than arms length.

But really, you're the AG, what do you say? He'd be better off just delivering his head upon the proverbial silver platter, taking his butt whooping, and hoping more people are watching the NCAA Basketball playoffs.

You can mute a teleconference when you're laughing hysterically, much harder to do in open court.

 

[gmhowell]

So, us fence sitters should stop sitting is what you are telling us?

Don't get but so excited. No matter what Legg does, all it does is move to the next level.

Not saying it will happen... but sure not saying it won't.

As long as the idjuts maintain just enough discipline to only hit each other, I can't really see the problem.

 

[gmhowell]

Wow! 5 murders per person? That's pretty bad!

Considering the proximity to DC, MD is filled with tons of lawyers, consultants, lobbyists, vampyres and other bloodsuckers who require multiple shots. Hence the need to murder someone five times.

There are bound to be some bad incidents, and however few or minor, they will be hysterically sensationalized by the press.

Still, I don't see why Baltimore's experience should be much different from Detroit's.
