Hello all. This is the world’s most belated introduction as I’ve been a lurking member for years. Candidly, I haven’t had much to offer to the discussion so I’ve just lurked. I have learned a ton from all of you and I really appreciate that … thank you!
So I live in Bel Air. For many years I’ve suggested to my wife that we should have guns in the house and we should both be trained in their use (we have no kids in the house). Several years ago she relented … probably due to influences from friends and family who agree with my position. She and I have both received training and have firearms in the house. I’ve taken a lot more training than her but her training is ample to ‘alone’ self-defense in our home.
Over a year ago I started the process to secure a Wear and Carry Permit and I was approved by the HPRB in May. My G&S included the targeting of executives by Al Qaeda (in their Inspire magazine) along with some unique dangerous-ish aspects of my job and the OPM hack of my clearance info. The MSP did not contest the HPRB’s reversal but it’s now stuck with an AAG who is ‘reviewing’ a bunch of HPRB decisions…with no projected completion date. I’ve described this process to my wife as my new hobby.
I have been a supporter of MSI, the SAF and the NRA. MSI has clearly been pursuing our fight here in Maryland; the SAF seems to have been quite aggressive in their pursuit of 2A cases; and the NRA … well … I just want to keep their membership numbers at redline so they can do what they do.
