Well - the flag was run up the pole, but no salutes. So much for that.
Good ideas are always worth sharing. If for no other reason than they may spark other ideas.

Think how Maryland would be viewed by the rest of the country if (the extreme scenario happened) they banned private hunting and created state sponsored hunting in it's place. I think it would do more to damage their image than good. I also think it would activate and embolden resistance to anti-gun 2A legislation.
try telling maryland hunters that feed their family by hunting to stop.
Wouldn't it be smarter for all of us to get a MD hunting license and hugely increase the number of licenses issued? Might make the MGA less inclined to pursue additional anti-gun legislation if a big lion roars back instead of a tiny cub.
If you don't hunt in Md and don't get younger people involved then they are not introduced to guns, have no experience / interaction with them and will have nothing but the anti's propaganda to believe. The 2A dies out from lack of participation and no positive experiences.
How many of these students marching on Washington do you think have had ANY positive interactions ( other than video games) with a firearm.
Riflery was a gym elective when I was in 8th grade (1975) taught in school with pellet guns, and was so popular kids were turned away. This was in Harford Co. Md. I can still remember that sinking feeling when my card was passed back the aisle to me.
I don't think stop hunting in Md. is a viable alternative to our rights being restricted.

My first thout as well. My earliest expirences wih forearms we’re hunting with my dad. The first training I ever took was a hunter safety course. I think this would be a cutting of your nose to spite your face sort of scenario.
Boycotts have very little chance of succeeding unless (1) they are excuted in support of a demand, (2) that demand has a reasonable prospect of succeeding, and (3) the boycott will inflict significant pain on the opponent. None of those condiitions seem to be met in this instance.
Well here's a question for you guys, if hunters are the minority and irrelevant, then why did O'Malley go to a lot trouble to send hunters a letter and let them know that his "gun control" legislation would not impact them?

I buy a hunting license every year but for the last two years I didn't even get out there (that's my own dumb fault - but the squirrels that I usually amuse didn't seem to miss me). I sort of figured that by buying a license I was supporting hunters, hunting and the wildlife.
