I'll be there I can walk there in 15 mins from where I live.
Here's one of three I've sent so far to the entire delegation:
With the exception of my immediate family, all of my relatives live in Pennsylvania.
Many of them have a PA permit to carry.
Whenever I ask when they're going to come down for a visit, the subject of public safety pops up and they inevitably note only bad guys have guns in Maryland (their last visit was in 1991).
Maryland turns off many tourists and Maryland loses revenue in the process.
Permit holders of neighboring states have gone through the vetting process. This bill adds no fiscal burden on the State.
Please vote for H.B.52.
rambling_one - that's a pretty powerful point to tie HB52 to loss of revenue for the state. Someone else gave some hypothetical figures regarding how much Md was losing not having 'shall issue', it was in the millions. I can imagine some people don't go out at night when they know they can't legally protect themselves, frankly I've stopped running at night, partly for this reason.

Which delegates left? I find it pretty disrespectful to leave a hearing before its complete, especially with a number of the "Public" attending. I don't care what time it is, they are put there by us, we deserve their undivided attention.
All of the ones that planned to vote "no" right from the start.

Anderson, Waldstreicher,Rosenberg Simmons were notably absent.
DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT!!!!! I now work at the Naval Academy and got off at 1 today.......... wish I had known.
I was in uniform and also carrying so I dunno if I would have been allowed to stay. According to my job description, permit card, and my site lead I can carry anywhere and everywhere, as is part of my job. So if I can carry into Fed buildings, military installations and places of the like, could I be allowed to carry into these types of events???

I learned that many are members of more than one committee and sometimes they have to hop around because they are scheduled at the same times.

I'm sure Anderson had something important to do...like renew his CCW.

Usually I'd agree with this premise, however yesterday it was pretty blatant.
"Our" folks stayed until the end (and I know they had meetings as well) while the other side pretty much bailed out.

Funny thing about him yesterday....he said something to the effect of, "I'm not really against this idea....."
Perhaps he thinks he might have a tough re-election?
Agreed...they stayed through the introduction and 1st panel, then left. Too bad too, because there were a couple of people that had really good information to share.
Speaking of which...is there any way to get those people in the first panel or two at the next hearing? I don't want to stifle what people want to say, nor am I saying that this first panel didn't have good info to share (they did), but it seemed like the longer we went on, the more delegates left. If we can get the best speakers with the best info up first, I think it betters our chances.
Another thing that bothered me....I like the idea of adding FL to the list of states, but talk about a red flag....did this get discussed with anyone before the ammendment was added? We stood a much better chance sticking with the contiguous states.

Was the FL amemdment actually added, or just discussed?
Thanks to the out-of-state folks who came to Maryland in support of this bill. There was even a fellow from North Carolina there!

Perhaps. Maybe word of his hypocrisy is getting out.
Or maybe he remembered getting his ass handed to him last year and decided to just shut up.

'And the truth shall set' us free...eventually. He recognized me (I think so anyways...we made eye contact and little flash popped on his face and then he left a few minutes later). I may not be best example in the world for this, but I'm here and I'm pissed that I have to go begging to use a tool to support one of my fundamental human rights. I'm even more pissed when I get told to save my money and not even bother submitting my stuff.
F' all these "NO" folks and let's get some new ones in there.
