Channel 2.
And I gave an interview to the Capitol News Service TV crew, as did Stoveman.
Just watched the report on Channel 2 news. It was brief, but good. Hopefully, they show it again on the 5:30 news.
Fidel can talk Mike's ear off!
Channel 2's piece is online ...

I was so very proud to be a part of today (as I usually am when I get to one).
While a very strong few anchor these events (Thank you, you know who you are), it is an outlet for us to express ourselves in a way that is personally unique. This is TRULY a grass roots movement.
Each sign and each bill we fought or endorsed is personal, and has its own meaning to each individual, yet we can fight different battles on the same field for the same end game.
It was my honor to meet and thank the guys from Second Liberty today. They were a breath of fresh air and a great asset to Americans who love freedom. I want to personally thank them (again) for coming out to defend the rights of all citizens. I look forward to burning up some ammo with you guys.
Jack M. was a complete surprise to me, and we could have no greater ally. Thank you Jack for being there. Your presence was inspiring.
I got to talk to several Senators, and a few Delegates (including a drive by with Dumais). I personally talked about Senate bill 511 and House bill 663. My family IS a "Good & Substantial" reason. One Senator said, "Just go get a permit", completely not understanding that a regular citizen cannot get near one.
There were other moments of conversation among folks who did not approve, and I will save them for non-internet discussions, and there were also many folks who walked by and I quote, "we support you and pray for you".
I was really encouraged that the empty holsters I was (we were) wearing went almost completely unnoticed. It was a sign to me that even open carry would not be noticed by the general public. Many representatives I spoke to I had to actually bring it up to them, they were oblivious, which to me means that it could be normal in Maryland as much as it is normal in real America.
You can participate at any level you want, and for any reason you want. No pressure is put on you, and there are people there who can help respond to opposition or support if you need help, or can't find the right words at the moment, so all I can say is come out for YOUR reason when these events are held.
It will make you feel like you have accomplished something, and you will have.
Great job Stoveman!
Here are some of the pics that I thought were the best from today.
