Hogan Addresses G and S!!!

[Mike OTDP]

What I find interesting is that the MGA leadership is talking about doing something...next year. Meaning they are going to let New York and California take the legal thrashing, then see what's left over.

Keep in mind - calling a Special Session has consequences. They (legiscritters) cannot fund raise while in session...this close to an election, that is more than likely a non-palatable option for most, if not all, of them (R and D, alike).

I wonder how many permit holders there will be at the end of the year and if the Legislature will be shocked by the number of people that have them.

I took my renewal class 2 Saturdays ago. They said that in Maryland there are about 25,000 permits. Virginia has about 800,000 and Pennsylvania 1.2 million.

What’s the amount that MD will have at the end of 2022?

My guess is between 100,000 and 150,000. A number they are not going to want to advertise. I think this initial round, once we are sure W&C permits are being issued within the statutory limits and without "good and substantial reason" to all qualified applicants that the floodgates will open only limited by available training. That's going to be the barrier. Even if 5000 people per week were getting training across the state along with those training exempt, they could only get around 100K people trained by end of year. That doesn't include processing time.

I would like to see closer to 250,000 permits issued but I'm not sure there are enough resources to process even the flood we will get let alone the dam fully breaking. Remember what happened in 2013 with all of the processing issues the MSP had with about-to-be banned regulated long guns? I think that is about to happen again.

Remembering the first MSI meeting I went to in 2009... The "open holster" rallies... the testimonies... I'm going to savor the moment when my card comes in the mail.

It's a nice feeling... you'll be "Not Disappointed"...

They have the stats, which are really easy to assemble in real time. But why would they deny it?

Odd how all the stats that seem to (rarely) support them are readily available, but those that might not help them either haven't been kept, are not assembled, aren't readily available, are out of date, or some other B.S. excuse. In this day and age, that's a total crock of sh*t. Who do they think they're kidding defrauding? They brazenly fake a legislative record to support baseless legislation.

Those public records and statistics belong to us, not them. It's time to pry them out of their lying hands.

Past time! WAY past time.

Any politician who looks at today's miserable realities, and then chooses to position themselves squarely in opposition to their own constituent's self defense? They're not an opposing viewpoint. They're not someone with whom to engage in an annual intellectually honest debate. They're an enemy. Nothing less.

Feed them chit. We don't owe them a damn thing.

That may be why one hasn't been announced yet. For most of the Ds the real threat to their seats is in the primary, so maybe we'll see movement on one after it's over.

And even though candidate's campaigns can't raise money while the MDGA is in session, PACS are under no such limits, so the finance issue may not hold back the MDGA hyenas from feasting on our rights in a special session for long.

Sir, are you suggesting that the call to public service through political office is beholden to moneyed interests?

For the record, in my W&C application passport photo, I am wearing my Moms Demand Action shirt.hat would be even better than testifying with them

They probably shouldn't find out about those parties we went to in the early 80's.

Hell, I was there and I don't remember them. I guess I has a good time

 

[scottyfz6]

So I can lend them my gun to conceal carry?

In maryland I would be very careful about that. When or if they asked to see the gun and permit and the gun comes back to you not them, It would not surprise me if they tried to hit you with an illegal transfer. Remember even transfers in family need paperwork these days.

Absolutely. I’ll reword a little, in 6 months we’ll be asking what brand and which gauge knitting is best.

Actually, my understanding is that the knitting world went Full Retard Woke several years ago, and everybody started fighting with and abusing everyone else on Critical Race Theory/Social Justice grounds. Apparently the knitting forums became extremely toxic.

In six months we'll be getting ready for a huge fight in the MGA.

The more new permits issued between now and then, the stronger our case can be, and the bigger our class action lawsuits.

I signed up for the classes to be able to teach the ccw class today, probably be all good to go somewhere around end of sept to beginning of oct. I have access to a range and will keep the prices as low as possible, ideally around 100 bucks. I am not doing it to make money.

FIFY

Exactly

 

[Kharn]

Nothing on the application for HGP (MSP abbreviation for a Wear & Carry Permit) requires entering data about a specific firearm.

You will be asked for details during the interview.

 

[DC-W]

“What kind of gun will you be carrying?“

That was asked of me.

 

[esqappellate]

You will be asked for details during the interview.

It is going to be interesting to see if the MSP will still be doing interviews, given the onslaught of applications......
