    We still aren't sure of when the 2nd reading will be. We will know more after Monday when they special order it. Logic would dictate Tuesday but Smigel and company are going to try for Wednesday to help run out the clock.

    The clock is not running out on this bill... This is the governor's signature piece of legislation for this session.

    What rationale could Smigiel have that would convince the Speaker to not read it on Tuesday? Heck, we couldn't even get him to consider Jesus Christ on Friday.

    The first day it shows up on the House floor it will be Special Ordered to allow for Delegates to be able to read it and get amendments ready. For something this big, the 2nd reading does not happen on the first day on the floor (look at Civil Marriage).

    So, while it doesn't how up yet, it may, and if it doesn't hit the floor on Monday, then it will on Tuesday and be Special Ordered for Wednesday. Make no mistake, with the amount of debate and the amendments that will take place on the House floor, this will be Special Ordered. (98% sure, there is always room for games like on Friday).

    By the way, the above came from a discussion with Shannon and Delegate Mike after the Committee Meeting Friday night.

    Not sure it will have the same effect...

    And we don't know what day that will be...

    Am trying to give folks enough time to plan for this day, which is big.

    The basic message is to come when you can, so pick what works for you

    Here's the planning page, will continue to be updated:

    ** Don't retreat! Reload! ** (pretty soon you'll be reloading twice as often)

    I can't accesses this page. Any idea why?

    I can come Tuesday and maybe tomorrow. I have my six and almost ten year old boys this weekend (through Tuesday evening). That means I won't be able to stay all day because the boredom will drive them crazy.

    I am there tomorrow until Noon.

    Thursday will be fluid for me. I have something I have to do in the A.M. that is mandatory and as soon as it is over (unknown), I can be down there.

    Ah. I see. Thread gone.

    Youngest wants to play with his friend tomorrow. Depending on how long that lasts, I will try to come tomorrow. If not see you guys on Tuesday. Looking forward to meeting y'all.

    I'll see what I can do for next week in Annapolis.

    It really depends on where we are with work production schedule for next week's deliveries. My department is fairly small, so being short handed can affect output when we're busy... and we are.

    My supervisors and the owner are very Pro-2A, and are fine with me taking these day trips, so long as it doesn't compromise workflow.

    What are we looking to accomplish with this wave of people being present? Just wondering? We know our presence means nothing to them and they will slam this through into law which has been their intent since day one.

    The official MGA schedule shows the committee report out of SB281 and Second Reader on today's agenda. Also shows the start of session for the House at 3 today.

    - Stand in witness to the legislature's actions
    - Show of support for those standing up for our rights

    Will our presence have any effect on possible fence sitters? While we "scare" the dedicated gun grabbers into backing off?

    Probably not but I don't intend to stand around and do nothing about it. If being there gets just one of them thinking about their actions and future consequences, it's worth my time. Watching in person as they trample our rights is also a great energizer for 2014 campaign activities.

    It is readout of committee only today for the 3:00 session. They cannot do readout and 2nd reading/debate/amendments in the same session. There is virtually zero chance of a second session today.
