HB0004 Rifles and Shotguns - Secondary Transactions

[Doobie]

Sooo what about Troopers and Correctional officers who carries handguns and long guns that aren’t theirs? Or how about during yearly qualifications where handguns, rifles, and shotguns that don’t belong to the officers are handed to them to qualify with? The instructor doesn’t own the firearms, so the actual “owner” isn’t even around.

So once Rules is done, does it still have to go through JPC, or straight to 2nd Reader?

If it gets through Rules, it will be assigned to JPR as the committee of jurisdiction for a public hearing.

The law of "unintended" consequences.


In actuality, there is likely an exclusion already in place, but I am at work and cannot look up statutes right now.

I guess I'll be taking another day off of work so the JPC gets to hear from me again for another 2 minutes this session. Ugh.

Rifles and Shotguns are regulated? or one bill makes them regulated and another makes loaning said regulated long gun a felony?

Long guns stay in the "Unregulated" category, but will need NICS check for xfer under hb0004/sb0208. 1104 only affects "Regulated" guns, i.e. handguns, in current form IIRC.

And just like that, a thread that was clearly tracking one single bill and it's Senate crossfile, is mucked up by discussing new bills that may or may not be assigned to a committee.

Can we please get back to tracking HB0004/SB0208 and move the conversation of other (newer) bills to their own thread?

I will create a thread for it shortly to redirect this stuff.

Out of curiosity, what does that mean? The sponsor appears before the committee to discuss. Not open to public comment?

Typically - open to public viewing, but only direct comments and testimony from the sponsor and designated sponsor experts.

So that means we can go crash their party? I’m about done with the niceities. It’s time for a few hundred of us to show up at these closed door meetings in protest.

"Legislative leadership called in lawmakers to work all weekend to expedite the session, should it need to end before the scheduled last day of April 6.

Senate President Bill Ferguson, a Baltimore Democrat, said the legislature would consider whether to stay in session once the budget passes. The Senate has already passed a $47.9 billion spending plan, which is awaiting action in the House of Delegates.

Republican Gov. Larry Hogan has urged lawmakers to give the budget final approval by Tuesday, in the event the General Assembly needs to adjourn early.

“Once the budget passes, we’re going to evaluate where things stand," Ferguson said.

Passing the budget is the only action that lawmakers are required to complete during the session under the Maryland Constitution.

Ferguson also said he believes appointing Hogan’s nominees to various posts in state government is a “must do” before the legislature adjourns.

Ferguson and House Speaker Adrienne A. Jones have taken a number of steps to try to limit the number of people at the State House, including banning the public, lobbyists and advocates from the complex unless they have an appointment.

Senate Minority Leader J.B. Jennings, a Harford County Republican, said he was concerned the legislature was violating the Open Meetings Act by locking the public out of committee sessions.

“There’s a lack of transparency when we’re voting,” Jennings said."
