    For those who say MSI isn't involved enough, or you want to know more about how MSI operates, this is your chance to be part of the communications process and get the word out to people about the real state of 2A in MD.

    Just be prepared to answer people's questions factually, and it should be a good day.

    Juuuuust over the line

    It was a good day in Beltsville. A bit hot & sticky, but no rain. Out of maybe 30-50 conversations I only encountered two rabid antis: "Second Amendment is only for muskets!" So newspapers have to be written on parchment with a quill and posted in the village square? "Sure, why not." Sen. Rosapepe walked by and seemed to quicken his pace when he saw the sign, just like he did last year.

    A surprising number of the people were enthusiastically pro, and several who started talking anti did actually listen to what we had to say. You could see the gears turning, and a couple seemed to begin to accept the concept of "YOU are the first response until the police get there." One of the most interesting conversations was with a Muslim single mother, living with her child in PG county (heck, that might be G&S right there.) She had a carry permit when she lived in Iowa, and wanted to know why Maryland didn't think her daughter's life was worth protecting. We told her to go ask Frosh (and watch heads explode.):D

    The new ball point pens were very well received, we gave out most of a bag full. Lots of kids would run up and get a pen, so some parents might just see the name and do some research. The bright yellow MSI chamber flags were also a good ice breaker:"what's that?" would lead to a discussion of actual gun safety (as opposed to the typical propaganda) and almost everybody said "that's a good idea."
