Thanks for posting this!!

It's a good illustration of what many of us have been trying to say.

Can we get Gansler to straighten out the sheriff?

mxrider · Mar 3, 2014

Now my question with this, given that Del. Mike knows the Sheriff, was this a planned stop or was this a fully legit video. I want to believe so much that this is not a staged event.

Mr H · Mar 3, 2014

Look at it this way...

It was a "best-case" scenario.

CrazySanMan · Mar 3, 2014

Regardless of whether it was staged or not, the outcome would have been different if any of us had done this instead of Delegate Smigiel.

It won't load for me.

If not staged, then why would the outcome be different?

I need to stop.....

Because Delegate Smigiel knows the Sheriff personally. If it were me, I would be charged and become a test case.

We hear stories pretty regularly how different LEOs have different interpretations of law.

I have no doubt that there will be areas and individuals who will address this without incident. I would worry for the guy who ends up with an officer with a chip on his shoulder, or looking to make a point.

Besides...

We know the LGOC argument was a red herring to try and blow up Woollard.

And a true concern

And it is a shame.

Absolutely agree, but that coupled with two different letters from the AG stating very clearly that LGOC is perfectly legal (the act itself, many scenarios where it could be illegal based on where it occurs etc.)

And If it were me. I would have been shot with so many rounds that my body would be toxic in the Morg. it would have made NATIONAL news.

I could see that not going well for Joe average citizen!

That's Sheriff Mike Lewis from Wicomico Co.

he campaigned against SB281

he's a great cop

Delegate Mike Smigiel is a great man.

This demonstration video should stand as a reminder to all of us that:

1) Maryland needs to be like the rest of America and either do away with the requirement to provide a 'good and substantial' reason to lawfully carry a firearm for self defense, or DEFINE what it means. Currently they do neither, and as a result Maryland's laws and policies are arbitrary and capricious.

2) Saying that people can legally open carry a rifle in public is an acceptable alternative to concealed carry is a deceptive political trick - one which Del Mike is highlighting. Thank you to this Sheriff for helping to expose the issue and concern of the people.

More power - to the many - Sheriff's across our great country for not tolerating these illegal infractions on the Second Amendment.

Venge · Mar 3, 2014

Well, that answers that. If this wasn't completely scripted, we know that it would go that badly for a state Delegate, imagine how badly it'd go for anyone else.

He's also CSPOA, signing on to the Sheriff Mack Pledge.

Rack&Roll · Mar 3, 2014

The video is staged. The giveaway is that you hear the Deputy's voice on the soundtrack before the Deputy gets out of the patrol car. That means he has a lapel mike connected to the cameraman before he gets out of his cruiser to "stop" Delegate Mike...

danb · Mar 3, 2014

fantastic video. If I did this in my neighborhood, outside of hunting season, I would be in jail or shot.
