Don't give up hope.Great letter but I think you'd get less wet pissing into the wind.

Maybe. But he vetoed HB 4 in 2020 in similar circumstances so he might do it again. The bigger concern is that a veto could be quickly overridden.
Mark, is there a date when it can be vetoed, and not be over-ridden?
I apologize for my ignorance.
That actual date is (I think) April 12th.Mark, is there a date when it can be vetoed, and not be over-ridden?

While I'm here - make sure to tell him to veto yourself:

Maybe MD will get it after they decide to write a law that actually says what they think (all guns are outlawed unless you are a convicted, minority criminal from Baltimore) and the country gets to 45/50 con carry (MD, MA, NJ, NY and HI saying no). Maybe then they'll scratch their heads and wonder why blood isn't running in the streets of 45/50 states while ours runs redder and redder. Or actually more like it, maybe the populace will wake up from the predation and see why and vote for some change since we all know the dimocRats already know the answers and are only doing what they are told.
Food for thought. Worst case scenario with a Hogan veto, they override him. . They have many precious passed bills this session, including those entirely unrelated to guns, the map redistricting, and an upcoming election year to contend with all at once.Sorry to be a Debbie downer but see below.
I was actually thinking about this. Maybe he will veto it but it doesn't really matter since it can and will be overridden.
You are an inspiration by continuing advocating for the 2A especially because it's very similar to running head first into a brick wall over and over again.

My understanding is they've already lost on the gerrymandered maps. There is a slim, entirely feasible chance with the amount of plates they are spinning, that something has to give - we've seen bills get shredded at the last moment on the cutting room floor, it's not unheard of.
Confidence breeds confidence. Get as many people as you can to call upon a veto from Hogan. Negativity can wait until the dust has settled, and at that point I welcome you to reply "I told you so".

Thanks. We actually stopped a lot of BS bills this year, like the storage bill, the campus bill, and polling place bill. We could not stop completely 387/425 and 1021, but we managed to get changes that made those bills less odious. I’ve always been of the view that our best chances are in the courts and we are pressing hard there in Call and the HQL suits in federal court and the preemption suits in Montgomery and Anne Arundel Counties And with a good decision in Bruen this Spring there will be more to come.
