Zerkin's statement in the article is refreshing.

It's what you get after too much Miller and Busch...

Free-flowing Frosh.

Which gave me another idea ...

 

[Second Amendment]

When have they ever cared about criminals with illegal guns? I think their definition of an "illegal gun" is a legally owned gun being carried illegally. In light of the Baltimore riots, I'll bet many are carrying without a permit.

We know Man. Min.'s don't work in this state.

The state or court will just dismiss anything that is a Man. Min. sentence and go fourth on other charges.

I am just throwing this out there: Would it be a horrible no good thing if they combined this with SB0184 to make MD shall issue?

It is hard to know why people are getting 30 days or not prosecuted. Maybe quite a few are intimidated by the process. If we made it easier for law abiding people to get permits, and combined it with a stiffer penalty for actual crime, seems like a win-win.

I'd like that - as long as the fine print clearly protects the law abiding (that would be a refreshing change too!)

We're still talking about Maryland, right?

I have to wonder if the Dems in the GA are concerned about the national level positive progress of the 2A movement. Like someone alluded to earlier, they are setting up the chess board to counter future 2A "wins".

This is the bill proposed publicly by BPD Chief Kevin Davis (on behalf of Frosh), and it WILL apply to carrying outside handgun permit restrictions. This is a horrible bill for a multitude of reasons.

Bingo, bango.

While I am for enforcing stricter penalties on actual criminals, until Maryland's laws are better defined and current laws are enforced, then this is pure bullsh*t and Frosh knows it.

The Dems in the GA are just pissed that NY and CA are outdoing them on restricting 2A. I'm serious and don't call me Shirley.

I don't think they are thinking that far ahead. Pugh is running for mayor. This is purely for short term political gain.

The problem is that carrying outside of your permit, or violating legally prohibited places is the same as the pimp or drug dealer carrying a stolen firearm without a permit.

Seems to me that permit restrictions are a corollary to G&S. With G&S repealed, I think (most) permit restrictions go too.

There will always be legally prohibited places like schools though. Every state has it's peculiarities around those that you have to watch for.

Think it is that easy? I know those in the LD would put something on the permit to restrict you. They try everything they can.

Has anyone invited John Lott, Shannon Alford, Alan Gottlieb, and others who handle legislative issues 24/7 around the country and have access to relevant facts and figures at their fingertips, to testify on this and all the other legislation the MGA has before it, to pepper the record with real facts and make the arguments that are being made in other jurisdictions?

Edit: fixed the "Shannon"

Huh?

Nothing about this is easy.

But they can do this now anyway.

We are sort of debating whether unicorns fart green or red gummy bears.

 

[rseymorejr]

Huh?

I think he means the other Shannon!

 

[Jim12]

Huh?

Thanks. Fixed that unfortunate mistake. I meant Alford, of course -- NRA-ILA MD Liaison. I'm sure she's already involved. Lott and Gottlieb also would be knowledgeable, powerful allies and assets.

Eggzactly. Thanks.

I need to think of Watts as in low wattage, as in dim, so as to remember.
