Repeal of Harford County Stun Gun Law

Minuteman · Mar 19, 2014

Interesting, congratulations.

In AACO they voted that same night, all the Reps voted for it, all the Dems voted against it. Thankfully there was one more R than a D. It took a few weeks for the County Exec to sign off and let it become law.

We normally do not vote on an issue the same night as the public hearing. In the past we would often need to add amendments to a bill or sometimes start over after hearing peoples testimony. This way we have plenty of time to do what's best for the people. Also, voting the same night places the people’s voice at the end of the voting process when it should be one of the first steps. I feel it’s the right thing to do.

Any indication from the county council members how they're leaning, based on their comments/questions?

Best wishes, again.

It will pass, 7-0 or at least 7-1 just like our nullification of SB281 vote did.

I will apologize in advance for not living on this forum, but this is a joke, right?

Nullification of SB281 was voted 7-1? Does that mean that SB281 is out the window soon?

No. That was one of a couple county councils voting not to recognize it. Check out the thread by Patrick over in MD 2A for the lawsuit info.

Oh OK. Which pretty much means nothing, right? I mean, it's not like the dealers in those counties will be able to sell the firearms that Maryland banned, or that they can sell a regulated firearm (handgun) without an HQL, right?

It seems more like a symbolic vote than anything else.

Glad to see this got noticed. I contacted Jim McMahon about the issue and he got right on it. He was surprised to see they were illegal. I was unable to go to the hearing as I was ill but glad to see it's on the right track.

Correct to all of that.

Great work Joey! Your wife has a great store. I have bought several firearms from her and you have the best/lowest transfer fees.

How did the final vote go? And assuming it passed the County Council, will the County Executive sign the bill?

PapiBarcelona · Mar 27, 2014

The vote was quoted to take place April 1st.

huntman21014 · Mar 28, 2014

The county executive has said he would sign the bill. Joe will abstain from the vote and it should be 6-0

Anyone know a good local (preferably harford county) place to get a couple stun guns?

Mr H · Apr 2, 2014

just a hunch.....

But I'd think Maryland Quartermaster might be an option at some point??!

Seriously, though... Look through the selections at midway, at least to get a baseline of what you think you might want, until you're ready to buy.

I haven't seen the Harford County legislation (if anyone has an online link that would be great) however in Anne Arundel County when they passed their bill there was a 45 day delay after the County Executive signed the bill before it took effect: http://www.aacounty.org/CountyCouncil/Resources/2013/18-13.pdf So if you want a local county supplier you'll have to wait until the bill becomes law, then vendors stock the units.

But for anyone looking to get a Taser online, the cheapest source I could find (for the C2 Gold Kit) was from Summit Gun Supply: http://www.summitgunsupply.com/non-lethal-defense/ I got my wife's unit from them for $325, whereas most other online sources have them listed in the $350-360 range.

Did the vote actually take place on April 1 as expected?

aray · Apr 2, 2014

Found a copy of the bill online: http://www.harfordcountymd.gov/weblink8/ElectronicFile.aspx?docid=5246807&dbid=0

There is a 60 day delay after it becomes law. So far there is no indication on that link whether the County Council approved it or not, and whether or not (or when) the County Executive signed it (unlike the one from AACO where you can actually see the dated CE signature).
