We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Oh, this is a GOOD one...
I suppose I need to contact Del. Smigiel and offer to come up and testify for this one too...
I could come up with a VERY good argument for this bill. The fact that the State of MD requires that people have been attacked and survived before they will issue permits to "regular citizens" is an appalling affront to human rights, and fosters a "victim mentality". People should have the ability to protect themselves against violent attack BEFORE they are attacked. Making them wait until AFTER they have been attacked is inhuman, amoral, and a severe breach of human dignity...

Here's last year's attempt: HB 470: Repealing the requirement that the Secretary of State Police find that a person has a good and substantial reason to wear, carry, or transport a handgun before issuing a handgun permit to the person.
Reason for failure: "Unfavorable Report by Judiciary "
And 2008: HB 2: Repealing the requirement that the Secretary of State Police find that a person has a good and substantial reason to wear, carry, or transport a handgun before issuing a handgun permit to the person.

I've contacted Kenn Blanchard, the fellow in MD who does the "Urban Shooter" podcast, to suggest that he offers to testify in favor of this bill. He was a Marine, a counter-terrorism expert, a Federal officer, and now he's a Baptist minister, and lives in MD. I think he would be a good voice to have behind this bill. Hopefully he'll have time to come to Annapolis and speak...
