Why do they have more rights than we do!!!

ineoin · Apr 12, 2013

I just received a letter outlining that piece of garbage that is called SB281 from Delegate Kelly Schultz. The outline is excellent but in it for the banned rifles, mag capacity and handgun license active and retired law enforcement offices are exempt as well as active military are. Really since when does anybody have more rights than someone else. This is yet another way to turn us against ourselves. No one has more rights than anyone else this is such garbage!

I had to rant, it makes me want to throw up.http://www.mdshooters.com/images/smilies/mad54.gif

LEOs and Military do have some advantages, but they are not exempt from the entire bill as mentioned in the letter. See my post here: http://www.mdshooters.com/showpost.php?p=2342954&postcount=10

for a quick list of who is exempt from what. (or you could just read the bill yourself and not believe everything sent to you)

Not 100% correct. Only if they were sold their issue pieces (unlikely) by the LE agency.

Yes they are exempt from HQL.training but so are you if you legally possess a regulated firearm.

It's still a POS though!

Doesn't matter. What this bill does is make some people more equal than others. That is not right. Everyone should be equal in the eyes of the law. If I believed otherwise, I would not be an MSI member. I already have a MD CCW. WTF should I fight for yours?

I can dig it. I am also a member of MSI. I appreciate all everybody does in the fight! I had to vent the whole thing p#^%&#es me off. I do not have a CCW but I feel all should have access to them. I am a competitive shooter, have been for years.

Thanks to all you guys for your resposes.

Pretty much, I know of a total of Zero agencies that transfer department patrol rifles to indivdual officers upon retirement.

It is just more crap thrown in there by politiians so they can say they added exemptions. (albeit for crap that doesn't exist)

In regard to the pistol licensing, LE are exempt from the training qualification aspect because MD LEOs already have the much more stingent MPCTC training under COMAR law, (and that training is minimally 40 hours and at least 1,200 rounds with 4 qualifying scored courses of fire with mininimal scores that have to achieved) vs the few hour course or whatever it is that SB281 requires for everyone.

But they are only exempt from the training aspect not the licensing part. So they have to go pay the same fees and fingerprints (even though they are already in the system anyways) just like anyone else.

and yes this bill is a POS. and the Fraternal Order of Police was publically against it.

What if the bill said only elected officials and their bodyguards were allowed to own and carry firearms?

They are the Enforcer Caste! Get used to it. They make sure the Ruling Caste is not challenged.
