An amendment was brought up in the house to add the option to register to vote with the handgun License application. Of course this was defeated, but it seemed to me to be a good idea. From reading this forum, it seems that a significant number of pro 2A citizens are not registered to vote. One side has done all it can to get voter registration opportunities at every venue possible where low information citizens tend to "gather".
So along those lines, is there? or should there be something like a voter registration table at gun shows and sportsmen's shows and hunting expos?
I am thinking the logistics would not be too difficult. Registration forms are available in racks at the MVA offices. They could be filled out, collected and at the end of the event, turned in to some appropriate place.
Isn't voter registration available online? Again, a table with internet access to help facilitate registration of an interested person(s).
I am thinking Bass Pro special events- like the fall hunting classic, Something at Dick's perhaps, Silverado guns hows (there was a gun show last weekend in Frederick, and anther this weekend in Annapolis at the Armory. The Southern Maryland hunting expo, Frederick Sportsman's show, Range/sighting in days at the various gun clubs in the state. Meade Natural heritage Association has a range day on Sunday.
Is it legal to offer voter registration incentives? Like a discount for range fees for sighting in, or for hunter safety course upon presentation of a voter registration card or on site registration?
I know there are members here who are "community organizers" - what do you think?
