What is in the public eye is all that is required of them... other than what is discussed at 'closed' sessions. To think you are going to get an answer as to why they vote this way or that is absolutely foolish... and those who know them personally would be a fool to divulge any conversations had in private. Another member mentioned that they may be saving the 'good stuff' until after their confirmation... If that is the case, they are no better than any other politician... fear of making waves is only pandering to the other side. Playing 'softball' politics in Maryland gets you NOTHING... NO guts... NO glory... As I have said before... there are legal means of redress to the Board member's actions... they have yet to be confirmed by the Senate... January 13th... Have you called your Senator lately? Just remember... not all of the members are spineless(I cleaned that up... Yes P5...I 'deleted')...

The Board members are not obligated to answer inquiries after-the-fact, and I wouldn't expect them to.

However, under well established/text book Administrative Law the Board's written appeal decision must be supported by the record before it (legal argument, documents and testimony), and the rationale must be stated. The speculative answer within the quotes in your post above would not be legally sufficient. If that's all that is provided by the Board then its final decision will be just as arbitrary as the MSP's written decision that failed to articulate any basis for "disapproving" the application.

and the state of Maryland counts on most of the peasants( you and I) not being able to even get as far as filling out the application much less funding a court case. its people control.

life has been far from fair to me but as far as I can tell the second amendment doesn't say that only a certain class of people get to keep and bear arms. that's just a maryland democrat thingy.
