Fixed.Fifty bucks to go to a pig roast and meet Gov Hogan. Tell him your concerns to the pig, eat pig.
did actually make 2A-related promises, though?It's time for Governor Hogan to step up to the plate and take a swing at some of his promises.
not getting tired of NOT having a Democratic governor who will push for anti-gun legislation to burnish his credentials and who would sign any anti-gun bills sent to him, no.Anyone else getting tired of the same old thing?
i'm sure your future Democratic governor will do much more for your gun rights than Hogan has!Well this oldMan agrees with Ron, frig their lip-service. If he doesn't get off the pot, he certainly won't receive my vote.

I hate this thread because of the quisling title.
Let the thread die.
We'll pick up this discussion elsewhere.
I'm sure we will more and more as the elections get closer. In the meantime, what the Hell can Hogan accomplish when he's automatically nullified by the AG and MGA? Besides attending fund raising food events and photo ops, that is.
I believe that even if he's defeated by the MGA or AG, just acting on a few items would go far. Trying and failing is better than not trying at all.
I'd rather go 0 for 4 than to never have gotten into the game.
YMMV
fair point, but:You're assuming Hogan is the Republican candidate. I know it's a long shot, but he's gotta understand.

I never found one publically. Lots of secret squirrel stuff though. His HPRB scheme is just a setup to provide for the most rabid I have to carry group.
I'm not Schipperke , and in this instance have no clue to read his mind on this.
But generally : In Britsh English Scheme is standard terminology for any government licensing or regulatory program , and is nuetral . ie driver license scheme , fishing scheme, traffic control scheme, etc .
When * I * use "scheme" in a USA context it is double entendre, and irony to point out absurdity and arbitraryness. But probably too subtle and goes over most heads, unless they also read UK based gun and sporting publications.
Well said sir!It's a scheme either way someone use the word. It's "Maryland neutral or Maryland fair" because those most rabid about it and those with the most disposable means and more importantly the time and can properly articulate their case on a good night or those able to afford representation can get a permit, some of the time. So it's fair to those the board feel meet their standard on their particular night. It's just not , say, Virginia or Florida or Utah, fair where everyone who should be able to get a permit does.
...Maybe instead of asking Hogan ( or anyone else) to do something ( yeah I complain about him too) we should just look hard and learn about ways to exercise our freedom as much as possible and wherever possible. I'm really starting to appreciate this Libertarian concept of 'living free' as much as possible.
So how about getting non resident carry 'papers' in other states? At least you can live like a freeman in other states when traveling.
Keep pushing ( Join MSI) and talking to other people about the issue, but try to 'live free' as much as possible NOW! I'm going to keep trying. I keep hoping the Eastern Shore secedes ( and Western MD too !) but until then I'll do my best..
Sending the congress-people little letters showing how 'nice' (read: foolish) and reasonable (read: tamed) you are is a failing strategy - nothing but feel-good stuff. Joining up and being active into groups, NRA, MSI, MSRPA, Local clubs etc is better.
Living free and telling other people about the issues in rationale, informed and confident/respectful ways is the ticket. Letters to the Ed ( if they'll publish them) is 'OK' but always remember that the press is the enemy of Liberty nowadays - they will manage your entry into their turf...
