Uh they're criminals, they don't obey the law, that is expressly assumed by the title "felon".

Irony, sarcasm, satire indicate mockery of something or someone. The essential feature of irony is the indirect presentation of a contradiction between an action or expression and the context in which it occurs. In the figure of speech, emphasis is placed on the opposition between the literal and intended meaning of a statement; one thing is said and its opposite implied, as in the comment, “Beautiful weather, isn't it?” made when it is raining or nasty.

I love this group! We have quite the representational cross-section here and its great!

Mr. Glenn Ivey and others of his ilk have reason to be scared. It's not that MD will end up in a blood bath after McDonald, it is that their whole world and way of thinking will be forced to be turned upside down.

This decision can't get here soon enough. If, hypothetically these 2 'Firearm Safety Act' bills get out of their respective committees tomorrow, either passes through the floor vote and opposite chamber and gets signed (worst case), a positive decision in McDonald might be the last chance to derail before it becomes effective 10/1/2010...hopefully someone would realize it won't pass Constitutional muster...

A year or two ago Ivey also said that Maryland has procedures for issuing handgun permits and anyone wanting one need only follow them. I asked him directly to help me navigate the system and am still awaiting his reply.

Note also, Ivey mentions "restrictions" that if overturned could impact public safety, but is silent on the restrictions placed on the lawabiding who seek handgun permits.

Come on guys, Emperor Frosh says us lowly AVERAGE citizens don't need a concealed weapon, so stop trying. I guess only the ABOVE AVERAGE citizen needs it.
