What’s the consensus as to Hogan’s response to SB1000 passing? Sign...veto...let it go without his input?

Where's the beef?
Thought you might like Jumping Jen's version of her overwhelming success in this session.
She makes it sound like they got a win by adding a background check on loans. That could not be further from the truth. She is trying to give her folks some fake red soy-based meat.

Hey, as long as they serve 100% real beef there, I'll sit in any corner you like!
Thank you PP, MSI and everyone else who took an active roll in getting the message to the legislature. I’m glad there were patriots who could hit the bricks in Annapolis which is something I myself could not do this year. I sincerely appreciate your dedication and effort.
I am sending out thank you emails to my reps, even if they would have supported restrictive legislation. In my mind there is something psychologically different when you say thanks. They are expecting plenty of emails prior to legislation so I doubt they pay much attention to those. Maybe my message has a better chance to get to it’s intended recipient in the off season.
Next year is an election year so expect the worst. A lot depends on the general news climate in early 2020. A lot of things can influence what gets put on the table next year.

Another chip at her (their) credibility as the legislators know what was really passed. I would hope that the constant hyperbole, gnashing of teeth and wailing is beginning to wear on those who are on the fence.
Minor point - next year's elections are federal. The next statewide elections aren't until 2022.

The number of bills this year was no different than in past years, I'm not even sure the number of "major issue" bills with regards to firearms was any greater than in past years.
I have said it before, and I will continue to remind folks....This is a 365 day a year contact sport, just because our elected officials are no longer in session in Annapolis DOES NOT mean that we stop working to advance/protect the 2A here in Maryland.
Next up will be the various district meetings so they can tell their constituents how successful they were this year. Now is the time for everyone to find those dates and locations for EVERY elected official that opposed us, and post them up. Start a new thread to do so, so we don't muck up this thread.
One does not need to pass for the other to become law.
Don't they both pass or is this saying that SB0346 passed in both the house and senate?
No, they don't need to pass. Yes, HB0346 started in the House, passed and then went to the Senate where it went through the same process and passed. All bills need to pass both chambers to be sent to the Governor's desk.
There are other in the weeds details, but this is the high level detail that answers your question.
I think the Sheriff's coming to Annapolis with their message and how it was delivered sent a message to the MGA . It helped in a second guessing or a pause . IMHO
They deserve a large Thank You as well

Call your Delegates and ask, I know of several offices, including my own Delegates that keep a tally of for/against contacts from constituents.
If they don't then ask them how they can vote on a bill and say they are representing the best interest and will of their constituents.
I will repeat what I have said before about FSA2013. We did make a difference, we made O'Malley, Miller, and Busch threaten members of their own party to get the bill passed out of joint committee. The fact that folks do not understand that, is why our numbers went way down in Annapolis after 2013 and why MOMS and MDPGV have grown in strength in Annapolis.
This year was a start to rebiuild, in a smart way, the numbers that showed up in 2013, and the effectiveness that those numbers had, and will have.
It was more than that in 2013, we were so effective, that we forced O'Malley, Miller, and Busch to have to threaten members of their own party to get the bill passed out of committee. No under table dealing at all, stright up threats to committee appointments and all discressionary spending in their respective districts.
So when their study figures out how illegal guns are making it into the wrong hands, they’ll come to their senses and leave the law abiding folks alone.
We have been asking the MSP Gun Center to do this for the past several years, and they have always come back with "it's too hard and too time consuming." I really don't care who got the bill passed, now they have to do the work. The question now becomes, how detailed and effective will they be, or will they continue to drag their feet?
You know back when I got back into shooting, and joined here I used to look forward to each year when the GA session started for the chance they would finally make MD shall issue, now I hold my breath until they close the session hoping they don't strip away more of the 2A.
