Maryland Shall Issue
Regular Member
Since we have veered this far off topic without any real complaint, let's see if we can put the thread veer to rest.
Rather than hash over history and how the alleged reputation(s) were earned, I'm going to give you the opportunity to document how MSI (the only organization I am aware you have the authority to speak for) has a) reached out for or b) embraced an offer of support from an out-of-state organization. The only restriction I place on this is that you not use examples of asking some other organization to be the major funder of a lawsuit.
This way you can show how MSI operates and that any retutation it might have earned (prior to or since 2004) has been overcome, and I can avoid violating the OCDO rules. Sounds like a win-win offer. What do you say?
stay safe.
