Parkville, Maryland 21234
District 42A
Testimony to the House Judiciary Committee in support of HB0262 / The lawful carrying of a Handgun while Bow Hunting.
I am a registered Democrat from Parkville, Maryland and I wish to thank the committee for allowing me to submit my testimony is support of HB0262.
I have personally been in a situation where having this proposed legislation in place could have been beneficial. Two hunting seasons ago, in the Fall of 2011, a white pick-up truck kept driving up and down the road next to the private land I was hunting on. After a few, slow passes one man carrying a muzzle loader and one man carrying a rifle exited the vehicle and proceeded to enter the field very close to where I was. After watching them for some time, I realized they were simply looking for something. I called out to them, told them I was coming to them, and they remained calm. After I approached the two men and began speaking with them, I found out they had come onto the property to track a deer they had shot earlier. Their story proved to be accurate. We found the deer and they left without incident. I was fortunate. Sadly, other hunters have not been.
A little more than 20 years ago, in Northern Florida, Don Hill and Gregory Wood had been murdered while engaging in the legal act of hunting. They had their money and their possessions stolen. These two tragedies took place in what most people would consider safe places to hunt. A National Forest and a Wildlife Management Area. These two innocent men were the unfortunate ones.
Maryland continues to shout from the roof tops how progressive and modern the State is and how much the State cares about the citizens who reside in her. This maxim holds true sans one group, hunters and those who wish to have the ability to protect and defend themselves with handguns.
Aside from the self protection issue, there are a myriad of other reasons to carry a handgun while hunting. On three separate occasions during the 2013 bow hunting season, I shot and wounded deer that had to lay there and suffer in needless pain. I was within 12 yards of all three deer and I could have easily ended their suffering had I been able to carry a handgun with me while bow hunting.
Though HB0262 has my complete and full support, I feel it should be amended to include all hunters, on all lands, and in all counties. All Maryland bow hunters should be afforded the same level of safety and security.
Therefore, I respectfully request a Favorable with Amendment report from this committee on HB0262.
Thank you.

OOPS... didn't mean to be right.......
Dear delegates
Today, I am writing this testimony demanding you vote favorably for HB36 to remove good and
substantial from concealed carry requirements. How does it make any sense that the only way to
get a ccw permit in Maryland is so you can protect money or property? How is it that I cannot
protect what I hold most dear, my family? How is it that I have to feel fear of going to most
populated places in the state of Maryland? This is ridiculous. Also how is it that I have Virginia
and Florida non resident permits by just sending them my fingerprints and info and required
training certificates? Why?? I will tell you why, because MOST states now want their citizens , or
even non resident visitors, to be able to protect themselves because they KNOW that the police
are not everywhere all the time and they know law abiding citizens are not a danger to others and
they know that criminals ARE. I believe that the only way for citizens to protect themselves in the
state of Maryland is for the state of Maryland to become a shall issue carry state.
Thanks for your time,
Registered Democrat

looks like jibberish but its the best i could come up with.
i also emailed my reps about the sessions this year and they are pro 2nd amendment and will vote as such.

Work has limited me to "research mode" lately but I hope to start the writing component tomorrow on HB 122, the bill allowing out of state folks to bring their EBRs into Maryland. I have uncovered a pile of info relating to tourism dollars. Would it be kosher to add a report or two as an appendix to my testimony in case the legicritters need a bit of additional information? I can excerpt sections if it would be better to only include the most relevant portions of the reports but that alone could yield another 50-60 pages. 
That is my "looking for stuff for the boss, so he can chew people up on Tuesday" look. When I am on a mission, I tend to look serious. Besides better to be serious today and Monday so I can save my sense of humor for when we will all need it, Tuesday.
See you Tuesday.

The e-mail on the show and tell from the Delegate was from me.
Looking forward to the "owe, wow" look from the committee.

Might be some use of that tourism data on bill 659 also. I mentioned revenue lost because people will avoid MD, however did not dig for stats

A quick search of "economic impact of tourism in Maryland" should yield enough reports from state agencies and boards to choke a small horse or disable all but the hardiest of copiers. I don't have all the toys close at hand right now but will try to pass on the cream of the crop Saturday if you need to add a few pounds to your testimony.

OK... I was looking at the OP...

Thanks. I did basic opinion stuff this AM, and emailed it in already. Let me know - if something valuable turns up, maybe they will let me resubmit.
