We have an MSP Head

[aquaman]

DAY 1

 

[Schipperke]

Guess I don't have to ask today!

Hopefully for you guys without "G&S" as undefined, you NOW have it! Very anxious to read about the first lucky MD resident to obtain their permit without the historic dog an pony show we've been dealing with.

 

[Atlasarmory]

I would like to apply again without G&S to see what happens. My fear is that if i wait until everything gets going it might not be possible to actually get a permit due to existing 16hr training classes filling up quickly and the MSP's inability to process the flood of new applications before the next general assembly has the chance to screw everything up. I could tolerate loosing my app and fingerprint fees after the Legg decision I just don't know if I want to risk it again with the additional fee for the 16HR training class thrown on top this time. is the training class good for 1 or 2 years ? what to do what to do

 

[Gryphon]

2 years.

 

[Jaybeez]

I'm gonna share this. Please note it is from last year under O'Malley. Wondering what your guys thoughts are? Canned response or we are probably in for more of the same crappy policy?

Moojersey, what was your original letter? id be curious if it received the same response if sent again today.

So basically you want to know if Superintendent Pallozzi will continue to insist that a law abiding, tax paying, voter, eligible in all other respects (background check, required training, etc.) has to prove upon submission that the "applicant's life is [already] in imminent danger or that the applicant is currently being targeted by individuals wishing to do him or her harm" before a permit will be issued within 90 days?

Fair question.

 

[Atlasarmory]

What concerns me is even if the new super green light self defense as G&S will I have time to get a permit before the General assembly f's it up. I don't know what they'd be able to do but I know they would stop it if they could.

Sine die is less than a month away. It's highly unlikely a special session would be called to overrule such a change. It'd also be an absolute spectacle of it happened.

Fair question.

or if the "dmb" that wrote the letter for palozzi (code at the bottom), who most likely is the trooper commanding the licensing division still (judging by the initials), who is probably also the person that made up rules to require dealers to notify after 8 day release, applying rifle rules to sbr handguns, making retired officers qualify for g&s if they havent applied within 5 years of retiring, eliminating dealer nics checks, and the whole pia fisaco, will write the same letter all over again.

its not much help for Palozzi to be pro 2A if the people operating under him are hunting for creative burdens and roadblocks to throw up when ever they get a chance.

 

[Skipper]

Already took the class. I suspect (like many) they'll wait to see if the legislative process works with SB100.

But imagine the heads that would explode if one was called for it......

thought the Governor could only call for a special session?

@Jaybeez

I don't know if I still have the original letter I sent to O'Malley. I will take a look around. The overall premise was needling him for the ridiculous requirements of G&S. I can tell you that I have already written Larry Hogan about G&S and have not received a response.

They can pressure him to call for it, but that doesn't mean it would happen. The last one was in 2012 when tax increases didn't pass. http://marylandreporter.com/2012/04/30/pressure-mounts-for-special-session-from-impacted-groups/

Do the Dems in MD have enough votes for a veto?

A veto of what?

They have enough votes to over ride a veto from the Governor.

 

[Matlack]

Do the Dems in MD have enough votes for a veto?

Nope they are 1 short of a veto.

 

[Seeker]

Nope they are 1 short of a veto.

By this I assume you mean that they don't have the Governor's seat...(since the question was perhaps not phrased correctly)?

I believe they do have the votes for a veto override.

 

[Jerzee Transplant]

I thought only the Governor could call a special session, and then only to do with budgetary emergencies.

Not for any other legislative issues other than $$$$.

Am I correct?

 

[Mr H]

IIRC, it can be legislative, but only for a single purpose.
