Too bad no long arms or other firearms as defined on Criminal Law 4-208 are NOT allowed - we could carry long arms in protest, but only if antiques. The gun grabbers have covered all their bases. And you know what? Law abiding Gun owners are demonized to the max. This is very frustrating. Protestors don't matter a hill of beans to them. They are in control and they win.
§ 4-208. Possession of firearm at public demonstration.
(a) Definitions.-
(1) In this section the following words have the meanings indicated.
(2) (i) "Demonstration" means one or more persons demonstrating, picketing, speechmaking, marching, holding a vigil, or engaging in any other similar conduct that involves the communication or expression of views or grievances and that has the effect, intent, or propensity to attract a crowd or onlookers.
(ii) "Demonstration" does not include the casual use of property by visitors or tourists that does not have the intent or propensity to attract a crowd or onlookers.

They said "thousands of people from both sides" IIRC, we had 1307 against and 21 people for SB281 signed up to testify.
Despite the seriousness of the situation, it is a lot of fun. You hang out with good people. Put faces to screen names etc.

Yes, but may have to leave the bayonet home. LOL
Seriously, there are many firearms that would fit in that category of course I’m sure the tyrant bastards in Annapolis will craft a bill to include those too. I think one of them had a bill in last year to regulate them. SMH.

what exactly did they throw you out for?

And, of course, the gun grabbers believe the 2A is outdated and was written when only those type of firearms were around. So could be playing into their hands.

I was “lucky” enough to be in the room in 2013 sitting in the back behind O’Malley. Wanted so much to have a straw to hit him in the back of the head with a spitball. You are correct that we outnumbered the antis immensely. They had a hard time finding people who were for it other than politicians. I remember the one lady I referred to as the bag lady who they let ramble on well past her allotted time. I made a buzzer sound and they slammed the gavel. Think it was Frosh? LOL
This right here. If you have not signed up for their email you need to do so. They occasionally send out a very well written email that will inform you of any 2A bills and explain them to you. Also they provide links to the bill and have a PDF downloadable format.
. The sponsors are listed and 2A's position on the bill is also put forth. I look at it as a great cheat sheet that puts all the info I need together in one tidy package. Included is when the bill will be heard and if the time is different than usual it will be noted.
. Again, sigh up for the email!!!
. Thanks for bringing this up AOB

Okay, I have a tongue and cheek idea for a Patriot group. From what I'm understanding there's nothing against possessing antique firearms in public so we could start a new group and call it VOCAL. Volunteer Open Carry Antiques for Larry, it could be an all volunteer extension to his police detail and at the same time get our message across! What do y'all think?
You think they don't already spin everything like we are angry, unhinged white guys with guns?
