Maryland Shall Issue - Focusing on Gun Bill Days

We have decided to transition from our traditional 2A Tuesday event into a focus on "Gun Bill Days," which are the March days that all the gun-related bills are typically set for committee hearings in the General Assembly. Accordingly, 2A Tuesday activities have been moved to Gun Bill Days. Put simply, the resources of MSI and our partnering organizations are better spent focusing on combating the "bad" legislation that is submitted each session and promoting the "good" bills that will also be filed. These days are critical and we need the participation of our membership to be most effective.

We will do our best to make it easy for folks to show up, get the information they need about each gun-related bill and sign up to testify, if they so desire. We will also help folks arrange to speak to their representatives if they need assistance. We'll keep you updated on the bills as they come out. In the meantime, please take a moment to become familiar with your representatives. All you have to do is click here to find out who represents you, and that person's contact information. Please try to get to know these representatives now. You'll be more effective if on Gun Bill Days if your representatives already know you.

When is the meetup in Annapolis this year?

I think this is a good plan. I think it is much more important to show up on gun bill days.

Is the 2A Tuesday event cancelled?

I believe it is. From what I hear, the possibility of a small turn out could have looked bad and hurt us in our fight against whatever bills they try to shove up our *ss.

I would love to help out with message targeting packages and media relations if you need it.

We will not be holding a 2A Tuesday event. However, many of the activities we have planned for 2A Tuesday in the past will carry on for the gun bill days.

Precise day TBD. Gun Bill Days are typically in March.

Was it in early Feb last year or the year before?

When an email goes out to cancel an event and someone has to ask if you are cancelling the event, maybe your message isn't getting through.... :shrug:

I don't think so it's always been fairly close to my birthday. To the point where sometimes mention it during my testimony.

I want to attend this year. February is a busy month for me I swear it was in Feb but I'm probably wrong.

I like this idea, more time on our part to plan

I don't have my 2016 emails, but the 2015 days were:

We have two weeks until "Gun Bill Day" in the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, March 10.

We have two weeks until "Gun Bill Day" in the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee on Thursday, March 12.

I think they were more spread out last year.

2014:

Senate “Gun Bill Day” Hearing Agenda Wednesday, February 26, 2014

House “Gun Bill Day” Hearing Agenda Tuesday, March 4th, 2014

MDFF2008 · Jan 12, 2017

I think it was a good call and I do understand not wanting to say "canceled" since we don't' want to give the Antis any ammo (since they could spin MSI cancelling 2A Tuesday as support for gun control) but I confess I was trying to figure out if it meant it was not happening or not.

The RALLY Goes on! Join Us!

Here is the new plan:

2A Tuesday is cancelled, but "DEPLORABLES TUESDAY" takes its place! We have been cut loose to have the partisan rally that the NRA, MSI and MSPRA could not, by law, put on.

Yes, the official 2A Tuesday Rally on February 7th, sponsored by the NRA, (with an assist from Maryland Shall Issue and Maryland Pistol & Rifle Association) has been "redirected" to Gun Bill Days, but we, as MARYLAND SHOOTERS, are still free meet up for a rally/protest on February 7th, so come on down and join us!

With the Patriot Picket crew acting as your coordinating committee, we invite you to meet up with us and your MDS brothers and sisters on THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK at Lawyers Mall for what we are calling "DEPLORABLES TUESDAY"!

Whoa, but "what about an event permit?" and "what about those rented meeting rooms?. WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' PERMIT! As the Patriot Picket has proved, we have THE RIGHT to the public sidewalk anytime we please.

Except this year, we are inviting you to wear YOUR FAVORITE HOLSTER, to bring your GADSDEN BANNERS, and to grab A PROTEST SIGN from the many we have on hand from the Patriot Picket. Or even better, bring your own sign!

We invite to wear your CAMO--head to toe if you like. Wear your favorite GUN HAT. Wear your cowboy hat. We will also have American flags to hold. To hell with dressing business casual and being non-partisan! Our opponents aren't non-partisan. We won't be either.

We have also arranged for an appearance and short speech by some very special guests that you won't want to miss. Trust me, you will want to have your picture taken with our special guests, and to post them all over social media. We will also be alerting the mainstream media about our event outside Lawyer's Mall.

To make it easier for you to attend Deplorables Tuesday so as not to miss too much work, we will meet up at 9am on February 7th at the edge of Lawyer's Mall. Our special guests will arrive around 9:30am for their short presentation and will all be in place with our OPEN HOLSTERS, FLAGS, and PROTEST SIGNS when the legislators cross the street in front of us at 10am.

By they we will have gotten great pictures and video for social media and you all are free to go! Short & Sweet, and to the point. We will not nag you to visit legislators--you can do that on Gun Bill Days.

See you February 7th, for the Deplorables Tuesday Rally that you've always wished you could go to!

The guy that writes the emails should really be fired IMHO.

BeoBill · Jan 12, 2017

I'd like to add a couple of points:

- MSI has no direct association with the Deplorables.
- The Mad Moms did not have a permit for their get together in Lawyer's Mall last year, so there is precedent.
- These get togethers are a heck of a good time.
- Is a Hot Wash at Mission BBQ planned after?

Rack&Roll · Jan 12, 2017

BEOOOOOOOOOOO! Yes, we are nothing if not social!

We have planned our Feb. 7 rally/protest to be a quick-hitter starting at 9am and wrapping up after the legislators have to walk past us around 10am. Easy peazy.

After that, beer for brunch if we want!
