So what’s the scoop for those of us who would like to come down but don’t plan on testifying? Are we permitted to stand outside and bring signs and such?

The MSI website says citizen testimony is in alphabetical order:

"After they finish, the chair will start calling upon everyone else who has signed up to testify, usually in alphabetical order of each witness's last name"

It doesn't go in order of who signed up first?

Order of testimony appears to be at the pleasure of the Committee Chair. When it was Vallario, he would call "groups" first, in no particular order, then it was a free-for-all on individual testimony. "Next panel" and whoever moved forward first was seated. At the end, he would call "anyone else?"

When I testified in Ways and Means against an oppressive youth-sports-concussion bill, they called out peoples' names for each panel. I don't recall if it was alphabetical or not.

From Our SLSC current news letter.There is a convoy up to Annapolis on February 25th departing from the California Lowe’s parking lot at 6:45 am. Jason Mooney is POC for the convoy.

If anyone has any questions, they can always contact either John Mountjoy or MSI directly.

I copied the following from eruby's attachments some time ago, and found it useful to write testimony.

Mr. Chairman, and members of the Committee,

I am a lifelong Maryland resident and a homeowner and taxpayer.
I am licensed to carry a handgun in over 30 other states, holding Non-Resident permits by several other states…………..
I urge you to give a favorable report to HB xx.

I plan on parking at the Naval Academy Stadium parking lot. As I remember there is shuttle service from there to the capital. Is that still correct?

Calvert · Feb 18, 2019

Anyone coming from Calvert County?

Yes, there is a shuttle. It really isn't very far to walk either and I usually do.

The walk is about a mile if you cut the corner at the Calvary Methodist Church and go behind the MD Court of Appeals building (Naval Academy Stadium -> parking lot -> Herbert Sachs Blvd.). Takes 15-20 minutes at a comfy pace. Certainly, the walk back is a good way to discharge some pent-up stress ...

Wife and I will be there. Just got my day off approved.

Thanks.
I've walked it before but just had full knee replacement 5 weeks ago and don't think I could do a mile.

Bump....See you all on the 25th.

Bring friends, even if they don't want to testify, they can take a chair and be a visual supporter for our side. (I'm bringing several).

AssMan · Feb 22, 2019

As of this morning, I'm planning on driving up Monday to support this effort. Is there a rally point for dinner, etc. in advance?

I received this email reply from Delegate Arikan with some helpful info:

Thank you for contacting Delegate Lauren Arikan about the extremely important issue of protecting our 2nd Amendment Rights.

Monday, Feb 25th is the day that the Judiciary Committee will be hearing testimony for all of the firearms bills.

You can help in two different ways.
1. Submit a written testimony about how potential bills could impact your life and email it to our office by 2/24. We will submit this to the committee for you. [She will print the 30 copies of it for you, email to: Lauren.Arikan@house.state.md.us.]

2. Come to Annapolis on Feb. 25th and testify in person in front of the Judiciary Committee. (You will have 3 minutes to speak)
- Committee hearings start at 10am but plan to get to Annapolis by 8am to park and sign up.
- Please let us know if you plan to attend and we can sign you up in advance.

Please attend and encourage your friends to attend! We are looking specifically for traditionally marginalized groups to voice their concerns as well; Latino, African Americans and immigrants also need their voices to be heard on this issue!!

Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Hope to see you on Monday!

Thank you!

Kind Regards,
