I get Franken 7's point , and the " You're loosing my patronage , if you don't respect my Rights " Cards have worked ... in other states .

Maryland is too far gone . If they thought about it , most mainstream ( not gun or hunting related ) budinesses would consider it an upside to drive us away , for the bragging rights to attract leftists / wokesters / mad mommies .
