And this is why it's time to go outside the box, time to take the fight outside of Annapolis and be able to get more of those that can do something local, into the fight on a local basis.
Time to think outside of the box...and take the gloves off...

Gerrymander well that's the Maryland way! In Carrol County we have one Rep on the other side of the bay bridge and one in Montgomery co. Thanks MOM!

I literally had no idea it was that bad.
Should be completely against the law.
Just my opinion, but representatives should live in the districts they represent.

They do, but the districts themselves are cobbled together in heinous fashion.
This is the 8th district.

Donna Edwards represents part of AACO.
Me too. Most of the ideas are good, IMO.
Absolutely! Is there a standard class syllabus or lesson plan for the HQL training? That would be a very good start - use it as a basis.
Only the MGA can create a tax. However, a surcharge is an entirely different matter...
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
Again, RIGHT ON TARGET! On both points!
Initial logistics may be a bit hard at first, but we have (by my reconing) about a year to get up and running, and then proof test the result for the next election cycle. That can be done if we can find enough committed people.
Several of the ideas can be implemented now, including signs on property in high traffic areas. As for mobile signs, why wait until next year, we have all summer to work the kinks out in various districts.

That's NUTS!
The cut-off should be a few miles South of I-70.
But you already know that.
Punishing Demoncrats is not the answer. You want to educate them and influence them to reevaluate their views and positions and convince them that our position, the pro 2A community, is what they should be promoting.
How would an FFL feel if he denied a purchase of a firearm to a Demoncrat and then that Demoncrat ends up dead at the hands of a criminal because the Demoncrat didn't have the tool necessary to defend himself.
The British set out from Boston through Lexington and on to Concord to seize the arms at the armory in Concord. This is the starting point for the pro 2A community.

Stress to ALL 2A supporters, no matter what party, all races and social groups and EVERY single voter to get off of their pulpits and get out and VOTE for candidates who represent the values of the 2nd Amendment. Get 100% of all Republicans to get out and VOTE !!!! All of the incentives above are useless unless we show our unity by VOTING.
We do through this same issue with him every time he comes around. I'm tired of seeing this dead horse beat.
It's a shame because the other ideas are actually good.
Take a look at Mr. Sarbanes's Third Congressional District - or as we like to call it, "The Democrat Job Security Zone".
I have trained many folks prior to the FSA of 2013 who have become supporters of our cause. I believe it would be in our best interest to win over as many 'considervative' Democrats/Independents/etc.
As Erwos states, this a 2A issue not a political party issue.

So, to fight an unconstitutional licensing fee which forces us to spend more money on the exercising of our rights, you propose putting a surcharge on exercising our rights.
Not that raising money for our cause is bad. Far from it.

Why should we Free BSD?
Yet all the while, 2 of our own will vote to deny another one of our own, their civil right to carry a handgun.
The hypocrisy in your post is appalling. This is about educating the public, and not screwing over our own. West and White carry great power on the HGRB, yet they have shafted the community. When the community has to fight against 2 of our own to exercise a right, we all know that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
You might want to have a chat with both of them about how they are doing more damage to the community, instead of helping the community.
While teaching people is admirable, without the consistency in the HGRB rulings, your efforts are wasted and just giving people false hope.
OK boys 'n girls, lets line up dates. locations, and resources, and get rollin'. I'm up for a field trip or two during the Summer.

This. The statement that most "Democrats" do not support the right to keep and bear firearms is completely false and conducive to the problems we face, not the solutions. It is the mentality of "being correct by association with a label" that KEEPS us in a box with so many problems, including and beyond 2A issues. I do not care what someone's label is. What matters is whether an individual is willing to engage in thoughtful and open-minded debate and *listen* to the other side, which is a problem MANY individuals have, both democrats AND republicans, both on the constituent side and particularly among state and federal Congress members. I myself have had discussions with MANY "democrats", some of whom support gun ownership, others who don't, and many of the latter conversations have resulted in them actually changing their anti-ownership status.
I've had conversations like this with people of different parties and affiliations regarding many different topics - we all have the opportunity to learn and *possibly* bring more people onto our side of a topic, and at the worst? Strengthen our *own* conviction and at least be able to say that we tried. By alienating others based on their party affiliation, we do our cause a great disservice.

Muleskinner, thanks for a lot of great ideas.
We could encourage HQl/CCW trainers, gun clubs, gun ranges, FFLs, Hunter Safety instructors, etc to ask their customers/clients/members to show a current membership card to a local or national pro 2A group plus a current voter registration card (regardless of the party).
A part of our issue is that too many pro 2A people do not actively give any annual financial support to any local or national 2 A right group and too many are still not registered to vote.
"5) Protest outside the homes of the more nefarious anti gun libs several times during session...weekends would be perfect and the turnout might be better. And protest in front of their places of employment during the week several times a year.."
I am in for a few of these days. This gets media attention without paying for advertising dollars. It is an Alinsky tactic that works and does not require you to lie, cheat or steal. The signs in Annapolis outside of Lawyers Mall have really caught their attention this month.
