Did I ever say that those people are any better?

A gun owner MIGHT be an asset to our side, but just because they saw the light and bought one, does NOT make them an asset for our side.

Some WILL become 2A supports, others will NOT.

I agree with you. I should have suggested that they are perhaps more likely to be an asset on 2A issues, but it's no guarantee. I guess I just didn't consider the existence of well heeled fudd handgun owners from Bethesda. But you are right.

In any event, I still think it's better for us because it helps Maryland's FFLs if people are buying. I'm not suggesting that you agree or disagree with that notion. Just sharing my opinion.

I haven't crunched the numbers, but from the most recent PIA request, add up the totals for Security Guard, Special Police, Private Investagator ( different from Private Detective), and Armored Car Driver/ Guard as a percentage of overall W&C Permits. Some of those are gun people. Some of those might be allowed by employer to use personally owned weapons, but all are offered employer provided weapons, and many are required to only use employer provided weapons.

Agreed, that the more that buy, the more it helps the local dealers.

And SOME of those, MIGHT end up being supporters.

My point is, don't count them all as supporters.

Just spit balling but I would approximate those with HQL would most likely get a carry permit so while 95 % might (Laughing) be legit it does not represent the ones that would apply if they would get one. I would like the number of HQL w/o permit as when you get a permit you get an HQL.

NOBODY

You still have to apply/recieve an HQL even if you have a CCW, You just get the fee's waived but can use your previous livescan info and backround check as long as it is recent(not sure how recent,I did mine a month apart)
