2A Gun Day Rally, March 8, Lawyers Mall!

[chooks9]

I am going to try to get out of work for a day and support this.

Thanks for posting this video, Schipperke.

How is it that the plain ol Joe can understand where the problems lie, and yet the so called experts, educated, well heeled, or useless GenX members of society can't see it?
Taking away the rights of the law abiding, is no way to end the crimes of the habitual law breakers?

Of course, how did we Prejudiced male chauvenist Scary gun owners miss the obvious? Of course,letting by all means possible, other societies to flood our country with refugees, gang bangers, radical muslims, etc has to be the answer huh.
Why do these libs think we as a country exist to allow them to essentially do everything in their power to weaken and endanger our safety and yet blame us gun owners for the rampant crime and killings besieging our cities and suburbs. Why enforce laws we already have and punish the perp to the full extent, when we can make new ones to go after those of us who know that 2A, Vetting of immigrants, stiffer penalties for criminals who break laws already on the books is the true "Common Sense" answer?

I know,,,,,,,,,,,, it doesn't give them job security and keep them in the public eye.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

Rack, I am going to do my best to make it to Annapolis too.
Will pick my sign and let you know which. Thanks.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

If I could pick one sign,,,,,,,,,,, Hunters Groups lied to again
backup sign, Self Defense is My Right

 

[Bikebreath]

We bury my Aunt on Thursday, so I'll take "Defense is My Right".

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

It will be nice to see you Bikebreath. Thanks for coming and sorry to your family at the passing of your Aunt.

In addition, I have already written to my 3 Delegates
Susan Krebs, Haven Shoemaker and April Rose.

Mr Justin Ready is next. I am glad to know a letter to him does not go to deaf ears from previous correspondences I have had with him.

Another boss!

As "guests" at the March 8th Rally, we will be swapping out our PP hammer messages for issue-focused signs because we are team players!

See Post 14 for a sign that you want to call dibs on...or just choose one one the fly on the 8th.

All 43 "issue alert" signs will be there.

 

[GoldGunsGirls]

I work in Annapolis, I can probably sneak out of the office for about 1.5 hours. What would be the best time window to aim for?

Howdy! It would be awesome if you could get to Lawyer's Mall (Bladen Street & College Avenue) by 10:15am on March 8th for the speeches that start about then.

Grab one of our signs and bring the heat!

Find me (I'm the guy in the middle) and you find the signs!

 

[Squaregrouper]

I will know tomorrow morning whether my PTO request is approved.

 

[dblas]

My appearance at this point is a game time decision, based on how I feel with this cold I have.

My advice: medicinal alcohol. Sterilize from the inside out.

Or come and infect Miller & Busch.

 

[TopTechAgent]

I'll be there tomorrow. Have to leave around noon for a customer appt so can't stay to testify. Want to at least make a presence for the rally. I'll carry any sign gladly.

Breakfast at Chick and Ruth's is a great start to the day. You can't properly call out the gun grabbin' sobs unless you start your day with the Pledge of Allegiance and a tasty omelet.

Will this be happening tomorrow?

Just a last-minute reminder to finish prepping your testimony for tomorrow

MSI's position on the senate bills can be found here in our handy legislation tracker:

Full itinerary below:
https://www.marylandshallissue.org/...t/57-please-join-us-in-annapolis-on-wednesday

MSI joins with the NRA and other Maryland 2A organizations in urging our members and all who care about the Second Amendment to come out and stand up for your 2A rights on Wednesday, March 8th in Annapolis!

There are a lot of gun-related bills that will be heard, some bad some good, but there are two especially bad bills for which we need your presence in Annapolis to help fight! We need everyone who is able to come out, numbers matter!
Click here for a full list of all of the bills and our position on each of them. We are focusing on 2 particularly bad bills this session:
SB946: Weapon-Free Higher Education Zones
SB948: Rifles and Shotguns - Secondary Transactions

Weapon-Free Higher Education Zones
This is the "Campus Carry" bill that criminalizes any possession of a firearm on public university property. As most of Maryland's largest institutions own property not part of the campus facilities, this potentially puts citizens who happen to be on these non-campus locations in jeopardy.

Additionally, this bill bans carry even with possession of a carry permit, including, victims of domestic violence or sexual assault! An amendment to cover this specific provision was already rejected in the house!

The house version of this bill has already been passed! During the hearing on that bill we testified, and the entire video can be seen here.

Read MSI's President's Written Testimony on SB946!

Note: this bill will not be included in the hearings in the Senate, as that was done last week. Please talk to your Senators about this bill, though, it is a very bad bill and needs to be defeated!


Rifles and Shotguns - Secondary Transactions
There are so many problems with this bill it is hard to even know where to begin. Simplified you may no longer sell a long gun of any type to anyone without going through a background check, despite the fact, there is no provision for a place one could even bring a long gun in order to transfer it to another person! In addition to banning the private sale, you can't even lend your firearm to someone unless you are actively "hunting". If you were to lend it to a friend the day before they went hunting, you'd be guilty of a FELONY.

Hunters, please join us in testifying against this terrible bill!
