I thought you had to send the original receipt with the application.

NO ONE is arguing that, just saying the statistics bear out what we've been saying....responsible, law abiding gun owners don't murder people.
The statistics should not be hard to do. Purely from chance one would expect X number of people to be charged with murder, whether licensed or not. Then determine the same odds for permit holders and see if there is a statistically significant difference between chance and the actual results.
How would you do that and not end up with a subjective answer?
I'm no math wizard, hell I can't even understand basic high school algebra anymore. My point is simply if you use statistics to create a "likelihood" of being murdered (not justifiable homicide) by a CCW gun owner, that isn't as solid an argument as could be. For example, saying that "Out of 46,000 CCW permits in the history of the State of Maryland, only 5 have used their handguns to commit murder." My figures are an example, not fact, but you get the point.
IMO to make our arguments you need cold hard FACTS, not a statistical likelihood. Let the real numbers do your talking.
Or am I WAAAY off? Just my view.
The statistics don't really matter that much. This is a right guaranteed in the Constitution. The only way to restrict that right is to pass a Constitutional amendment repealing the 2A. At least, that is what the Framers intended.
I thought for a second that someone might not go there, but apparently I was wrong.
It was a few years back, on a stretch of highway that I could have sworn was 65. I was on my way back from shooting/camping at some property down there at 11:00am on a weekday. The roads were completely empty. I guess the combination of those things things led me to simply not pay attention. I could have sworn I was going no faster than 75. But, apparently not.
I got lit up, officer came up pretty pissed off, asked where I was going in such a hurry. I was honest and said officer I'm heading back home and simply was not paying attention to what I was doing and that I had no excuse. He gave me a ticket and that was the end of it. Soon as I got home I went online and paid it. Was my one and only ticket.
Should that preclude me from owning a gun or a car? If you really think so, maybe YOU shouldn't own a car or a gun. YOU'VE never made a mistake? Mr. Perfect?
Sorry for bringing thread off topic, had to get that off my chest.
Right. You've never sped. Never not payed attention. Whatever I'm done defending myself to you. I don't even know who you are. Go away, lol.
Anyway, back to my original question, my google-fu is weak today. DOES going over 30mph over carry a maximum jail sentence of a year or more in jail? I wouldn't imagine so, but now I'm paranoid a 33mph over conviction (I paid the ticket immediately which is the same as pleading guilty) might preclude me.
For the legal minds.
The request for a stay and clarification was filied with Judge Legg. If Judge Legg denies the request to stay his decision pending appeal, will a request for a stay also be filed with the 4th circuit when that appeal is filed?
Sure. But if, on a practical matter, do you want to defeat TPM restrictions? Then you use these types of arguments to show that the fear is misplaced. Rational arguments do have a place in the debate.
I don't understand how the anti's can still tow that line. It defies logic.
