Recieved this from Delegate Haddaway!
From Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio April 5, 2010
Dear Constituent,
Thank you for contacting me regarding firearms legislation and 2nd Amendment issues pending before the Maryland General Assembly this year. Below you will find a synopsis of some of these bill as well as my position on each of them. I appreciate you taking the time to write regarding this important issue and continue my commitment to upholding the 2nd Amendment.
Sincerely,
Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio
House Bill 52 - Reciprical Licenses
House Bill 52 would specify that a license to carry a regulated firearm issued by the State of Delaware, Pennsylvania or Virginia to an individual (including a concealed regulated firearm), is valid in Maryland. Despite the fact that the bill was heard in early January, the House Judiciary Committee will not bring it up for a vote. With that in mind, there is an effort to petition the bill to the floor for a vote. The petition requires 47 signatures to be valid. Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio supports HB52 and signed onto the petition.
House Bill 207 - Castle Doctrine
Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio cosponsored legislation again this year on the Castle Doctrine . House Bill 207 specifies that a person is not liable for damages for the personal injury or death of an individual if the individual is entering a person's house or place of business with the intent to commit a crime of violence or a burglary. The bill passed in the House of Delegates 135-1 and is pending approval in the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee.
House Bill 683 - Right to Carry
House Bill 683 would give Maryland citizens the right to carry. Del. Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio co-sponsored the legislation again this year. The bill was heard on March 11 in the House Judiciary Committee but no further action has been taken.
House Bill 852 - Firearm Act
House Bill 852 would have established new, more restrictive requirements for the sale or transfer of firearms as well as adding additional record-keeping and reporting requirements for firearm dealers. Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio opposed this bill calling it "an affront to the rights of law abiding citizens in Maryland". The bill received an unfavorable report from the House Judiciary Committee.
