ApexinM3, Your age is an asset! I was electioneering on Tuesday and had the police called on me because the election judge thought I was too close to the building. The campaign I represented sent a 20 year old young man who was well versed in election law and who knew the right people to...

Gotta vote for CCW. On transportation, the law doesn't say "go directly home, do not pass go". It just says that you must be on your way to or from the range... not that I'm volunteering to test that theory to its extreme. I would definitely not recommend locking the weapons in the trunk...

Kharn, Colonel Thomas E. Hutchins 1201 Reisterstown Road Pikesville, MD 21208-3899 [email protected] I've been told that [email protected] works more reliably. Greg

John, Don't worry. My "Thank You" letter to the Col. will be in the mail tomorrow with a copy to you and one to the Gov. Oh... it might not be the "thanks" you wanted the participants to send, but I wasn't too impressed that the MSP has a new machine that cranks out 250 permit cards per...

All I know is that I wouldn't be the activist I am if it were not for the existence of Maryland Shall Issue http://www.marylandshallissue.org/ or a similar group focused on the Right to Carry. I read Tripwire when I first got involved with gun issues and didn't know very much. The NRA, Jim...

There will be hearings on two gun bills this Tuesday, 3/21/06 at 1:00 p.m. in the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee. SB 910 Sen Hooper, et al Crimes - Self-Defense - No Duty to Retreat or Seek Safety by Escape SB 911 Sen Hooper, et al Public Safety - Handgun Permits -...

Capital Punishment, I don't know. As a member of Maryland Shall Issue http://www.marylandshallissue.org I'm trying to do my part to make Maryland a "Shall Issue" state. Maryland will get the RTC. Six years? Maybe. I think it's possible because Delaware may get it this year and if...

Well, regarding the subject of the original post... I was there with Helmetcase and was happy that we were able to meet with both Froman and Cox. If the NRA doesn't want to fight for CCW in Maryland at least they shouldn't work against us and this was a point that we were able to make...

They clearly knew who their Lord and Savior was when they ended the Constitution with "Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United...

Supporting Al Gore in 1988 isn't the same as supporting him in 2000. I don't know if Gore was ever pro-gun, but he was a more conservative Democrat years ago. Greg

MAN!! Thanks K-Romulus for updating the thread with that story. I heard it on the radio a few days and thought to myself "that's why I asked the Tupperware question!!!" I hate the thought of getting stuck in a situation like that, but obviously keeping the firearm unloaded in the trunk is a...

Yeah, I agree with Glenn Bartley. It should be "JBTs" -- the apostrophe indicates possessive as if you're implying that the JBTs will have their nightsticks out. Greg

There's a gun show this weekend at the Frederick Fairgrounds.http://www.silveradogunshow.com/silver.html I'm pretty sure (not 100% certain) I've seen books on silencers at the gun shows and you can pay cash! I don't think you're paranoid. Greg :uhoh:

It also makes me wonder if we're making it too easy for the anti-gunners. I remember the testimony in Annapolis from people saying that it's impossible to travel to a shooting event with kids and not needing to stop. Is it possible that some of those anti-gun legislators were quietly thinking...

Thanks for the input, Chaim. As you state, the legislators clearly think that no stops are permitted. I guess I get confused because when I call my wife from Happy Hour and say I'm "on the way home", it's obvious to me that a stop is part of being "on the way" :evil: While the law does...
