In Maryland, under Attorney General Brian Frosh, I'm sure falsifying an application will result in swift charges, vigorous prosecution, and long incarceration.

There's prob something in the fine print about "Winning is contingent upon being able to successfully complete the transfer."

Umm....am I the only one that noticed this?
The 2nd amendment isn't a "God given" right, it is a right bestowed upon the citizens by our Founding Fathers. And though I am not a constitutional scholar, I'm pretty sure none of them was named Jesus.
I'm just sayin....
The usual blather on this on WJZ just now. Jen Sockapuppetakalis from the MPGV spouting the party line....

While this is good, its not new in Md. Delegate Don raffled an evil rifle before.

Your Representives already on your side still need positive reinforcement, and they can give insights threats and opportunities with specific Bills, provisions, and members that could be worthy for you to address.
Even if Your Delegate/ Senator is unshakably 100 % pro or anti, then hit up all the members of the HJC and SJPC. My moto is " when you are dealing with Committee business, you are representing the state in its entirety, not just your District in particular."

Not a problem if a felon ( or prohibited person generally) wins the raffle. The campaign doesn't directly hand a physical gun to the winner. The transfer will be handled by an FFL with the usual procedures. In this instance, Hendershots Sports of Hagerstown.

Can't find it now...but it said, "Must pass background check"....as it is being transferred through Hendershot's, so I'm "guessing" you will be required to fill out a 4473.

The second amendment is intended to prevent the government from infringing upon one's god-given right to self protection. The right comes from god, not the government.

And you're just wrong. Some additional reading may be required and there's a mountain of written material available on the subject—most based on Blackstone's commentary and common English law (both of which the framers used to base the Constitution on)...
"Contemporary debates about the meaning of the Second Amendment—is it a collective right or an individual right?—would have been incomprehensible to the Founders. Everyone at the time agreed that the federal government had no power to infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Contemporary debates for the most part also fail to address the essential question of why the right to bear arms was enshrined in the Constitution in the first place. The right to self-defense and to the means of defending oneself is a basic natural right that grows out of the right to life. The Second Amendment therefore does not grant the people a new right; it merely recognizes the inalienable natural right to self-defense. Lawmakers may outlaw certain types of weapons, but they may not disarm the citizenry." —Nelson Lund, Ph.D. (Heritage)
I reckon it's reasonable to presume the framers believed the people had the [inalienable] right to own and carry (in public) any arm that isn't inherently dangerous to other people. This is why they didn't exclude the likes of cannons, Pepper or Puckle guns, all of which, today, would likely be classified as NFA weapons had they not been invented in the early 18th Century, even though none are any more inherently dangerous in the hands of a law-abiding citizen than a single-shot derringer, 1903A3 Springfield or 50 cal belt-fed machine gun. Contrast these with NBC weapons, which are inherently dangerous (imagine the havoc the average chemical weapons collector would cause by dropping a vile of Serin gas in his NYC condo!) and I think any reasonably intelligent adult can see the difference.

I second this.
But I would agree our pro-2A reps need to, and like to, hear from us. I see Gail Bates and Warren Miller at least once a year and email them throughout the year.
Now to get in on Hough's fundraiser...

Don't be parochial in your support. More important than their particular home districts, is their service on important Committees .

As did I. There was nothing on the donation page, but I got an email about an hour afterwards given me my ticket numbers and thanking me.

I said lobby.
I do stop in and say hi to him and/or his girl whenever I visit the statehouse or see him when I'm manning the MDS Patriot Picket line, a service to the 2A that everyone in reasonable driving distance from annapolis, i.e., almost every Marylander, should perform.

I'm not in his district either, but donated anyways. I got my winning numbers via email about 30 minutes later.
You guys can quit wasting your time now.
