MAKING A LOT OF NOISE IS NOT THE SAME AS MAKING A LOT OF PROGRESS.
I know I am jumping in to the fray right in the middle but I have to agree with you here erwos. Year after year I've seen this base get fired up, testify, email, call, and assemble only to be either a) hosed by Annapolis or b) reach a draw with Annapolis. We never seem to move forward despite all of the effort put forth. I have a hard time even getting excited anymore when the CCW bill is heard each year because, year after year, they simply ignore it.
We all thought we had finally achieved victory when the Wollard decision came down but the appeals court and SCOTUS finished that off. The only way I see us ever having our rights restored in this state is to somehow pull off a mass cultural shift to the right which will, in turn, shift Annapolis to the right. The Libs down there just don't give a damn about us despite everyone's best efforts to make it clear that we are here to stay and fight their attempts to seize even more of our rights.
