Jaq: I'm not trying to mean or harsh...when you do not support G&S you are oppressing women, daughters...step forward delegates and tell the State Police what G&S actually means.
Robert Bowman from Western MD: self defense is a civil right...if someone can lawfully own a firearm they should be able to carry and protect themselves...
Bowman: in the military the person who is now trained a heavy machine gun should not have to go through training....why would you dishonor someone like this to fingerprint them and make them pay another $50 after they have already served this great state..
citizen: it's easier to get my out of state permits than a MD HQL...when you travel you are going out into the unknown....if MD offered reciprocity it opens up opportunity for folks to visit...MD needs the income from neighboring states...
(Blake) biggfoot44 up: "I live in a rural area....wife menaced and tailgated the other day while picking up our daughter....my wife has shooting training, but she is prevented from defending herself from someone who pulled in front of her and slammed on the brakes trying to cause an accident...
biggfoot44: wife called me in a panic...and even if I could have gotten in the car and come to her aid I cannot defend my wife and daughter without a permit.
Citizen Mike Smiegel up now: describing a MD EMS pilot and NRA member who moved out of the state because of MD laws that prevent him from arming himself. Losing too many up-standing citizens this way.
citizen: police have been elevated over citizens, but we have never surrendered our God given rights. If citizens can't carry, what authority do police have to carry?
