BREAKING! SAF sues in Maryland over discretionary permit issuance

Dreamer... you and I have followed the same path to the same ends. The endemic xenephobia and myopia that exists in MD is seemingly viral. "PR" is non-existant.

General statement (not towards Dreamer) If you can't support MSI, support SAF. If you don't support SAF's efforts in Maryland, then when you're able to get one of those shiny permits to carry (which allows you to do both OC and CC, btw), and eventually when it goes Alaska, don't get or do it because you're a leech. As involved as you are in gun rights (posting on OCDO), you should still kick in a few bucks a month to SAF with the memo "Woollard v. Sheridan".

IMO Very similar to folks who brag about their state's great carry laws while insulting others when they had absolutely nothing to do with the laws passage other than being a beneficiary..

Project much? AzCDL membership and a raft of faxes and e-mails to the reps while HB1108 was cookin'. Let me explain somethin to you xenophobes again. ('Cause you still don't get it.) Laws are what the government says you can't do. Rights are what the government recognizes and you do on your own. You're so stuck on state 'permission' you can't see beyond anything else. That 'anything else' is no permit... no license.... no shuck 'n jive bowing and scraping to that buch'a politico-tards in the MD GA in Annapolis for crumbs. Where's your MSI membership and participation on OCDO? Where's your MSI membership whenever 'gun rights issues' come up on the Baltimore Sun forum countering the rabid Bradyite anti's? NOWHERE! And your 'leadership' hasn't the sense to tell your membership not to show up dressed like freakin' Rambo at your empty holster rallies. I don't care if it was one or ten... that's the 'image' you're presenting. Straight up... your Public Relations model sucks! You don't know your own history... much less the history of anywhere else to even make a comparitive argument. Where's your right to keep and bear arms in Art 28 of the MD Bill of Rights? It was written out during the 1867 MD Constitutional Convention that's where! Since The 2A has finally been incorporated agains the states... it's nothing but a directive from whoever your next Governor is (and it better be Ehrlich) to ther Superintendant of the Maryland State Police to omit all that: (9A) Reason for handgun permit (Be specific): crap from the application and direct them to issue the permit if all else is Kosher. That's all it would take. Rights don't require a reason... that's why they're rights. Prancin' around in cammo with empty holsters won't cut it. Depending on SAF won't cut it either. I'm done.

Excellent. Bye.. Again

PS-for your edification below is the definition of the meaning of Xenophobia. unless you intended to use it incorrectly

The Dictionary of Psychology defines it as "a fear of strangers".[6] As defined by the OED, it can mean a fear of or aversion to, not only persons from other countries, but other cultures, subcultures and subsets of belief systems; in short, anyone who meets any list of criteria about their origin, religion, personal beliefs, habits, language, orientations, or any other criteria. While some will state that the "target" group is a set of persons not accepted by the society, in reality only the phobic person need hold the belief that the target group is not (or should not be) accepted by society. While the phobic person is aware of the aversion (even hatred) of the target group, they may not identify it or accept it as a fear.
