    I have a quick question. I have a restricted permit (can only carry at work). Could I just send a letter over to the MSP now, asking them to amend my permit to unrestricted? Would it be less of a waste of time than trying to apply for a separate permit?

    I think you file a subsequent app. Patrick & Krucam can correct me.

    I believe the MSP FAQ indicates that you write a letter with your request and they will either approve it or deny it.

    What happens with the currently active permits is a big question.

    I joined and donated $50 to the cause. I should have done so a while ago but didn't really think about it, etc, etc...

    Thanks to MSI for all their help - hope I can help a little too. :)

    I need everyone to keep calling or have your friends and neighbors call and demand immediate compliance with the Federal Judge's ruling by implementing HB-45. Your calls are making a differance. Call your TV and radio stations and write your local newspapers. It is not too late to be a major part of the victory for the Constitutional right to carry in Maryland.

    This. Can someone please explain? I thought that with the decision ruled yesterday, we no longer want it implemented?

    Been a member of MSI. I'll send a donation Saturday when my check clears. You know what's awesome? The announcement was made Monday March 5th. My birthday is March 5th. I'm 20. I'm hoping by next year I can purchase two handguns, send in my MD Designated Collector thing, my C&R, and file my CCW permit.


    Did no one else notice that it's Maryland Shall ISSUSE now?
    Why the name change?

    For anyone who was wondering this as well (from another thread):

    Here's how I understand it.

    Judge Legg ruled that the Good and Substantial clause is unconstitutional. Unconstitutional laws are unenforceable even if they remain on the book.

    HB-45 seeks to say "You are presumed to have a good and substantial reason unless the MSP proves otherwise." Delegate Smigiel says the only things they can use are other items in the statue, but HB-45 doesn't say that, he does and the MSP have said it'll be business as usual.

    Effectively HB-45 gives new life to a part of the law found unconstitutional. Why would we even dream of reviving G&S after Judge Legg so elegantly killed it?

    HB-45 also moots Judge Legg's ruling because it changes the law he ruled on. It would require filing a new case; and wasting 10s of thousands of dollars to do the whole same song and dance over again.

    So I have no idea why Smigiel posted that direction???? :smack:
