RE: Sending firearms out of state for safe keeping:
If they are relatives that are keeping the firearms, could you just not "give" them to them as a "gift". My FIL presented me with two handguns at Thanksgiving.....according to MSP, they are subject to voluntary registration (yeah right!) so I would presume that giving a firearm to a relative in VA would be subject to the same level (or less) of scrutiny.
Any thoughts?

just called everyone
I went throught the whole JP Cmte roster, and even my own senator Rona Kramer (who is co-sponsoring the POS, even though I sent her a letter at the beginning of the session explaining WHY the ban was dumb )
Sen. Garagiola's staff was hands down the rudest - didn't even take my info down, like all the others did: "Thanks - we're keeping a tally - BYE (slam phone)".
I would like to go to Annapolis next Tuesday, but I don't know if I can get away from work. . .

I know it is tough to get away from work, school and families, but something like this WILL BE IRREVERSIBLE if it passes, and we'll have nobody to blame but oursleves. I took a vacation day so I can attend, but we certainly will need a bigger voice than mine.

Anyone going from the Silver Spring/Burtonsville/Olney/Laurel area?
Another sample letter:
Dear Senator Whoever:
As a lifelong tax-paying resident of Maryland I am strongly opposed to SB 288 and any other gun control legislation. When a similar bill was introduced last year the position of the Maryland State Police was that it would have no impact on homicides in the state, since this type of firearm is not used by criminals. The tragic ‘sniper’ shootings would not have been prevented since the gun was acquired out of state. However these types of firearms are used in shooting sports, hunting and for self-defense. Since Maryland has one of the highest violent crime rates in the country it seems ludicrous to deprive law abiding citizens of tools to defend themselves
A case in point is the ballistics fingerprinting law. At last count the cost has exceeded five million dollars and has resulted in no convictions. At a time when the state has financial problems do you think it’s wise to add another costly bureaucratic law that will do nothing to stop crime or deter violence?
I strongly urge you to oppose SB 288.
Sincerely,

Hi all,
Day off from school today (ice....what ice? ) so I spent a little time working the phones this morning.
Here are the folks that I called and what I got out of them:
Senator John Gianetti – 410-841- 3141 Does not favor anything stronger than federal ban
Senator Leo Green -410-841-3631 No position at this time
Senator James Brochin - 410-841-3648 No position at this time
Judicial Proceedings Committee
Senator Jennie Forehand - 410-841-3134 co-sponsored the bill, so obviously in favor of it
Senator Robert Garagiola - 410-841-3169 primary sponsor of the bill
Senator Larry Haines - 410-841-3683 no position at this time
Senator Ralph Hughes 410-841-3656 co-sponsor of the bill
Senator Nancy Jacobs 410-841-3158 “the Senator is strongly pro-2nd amendmentâ€
Senator Phil Jimeno 410-841-3658 “the Senator is pro-2nd amendment and gun rightsâ€
Senator Alex Mooney 410-841-3575 against the ban
If you look at the Judicial Proceedings committee, we've got a chance of putting together a majority if we can pull Senator Haines over to our side. Be sure that you call each and every one of these folks, but especially Haines.
Garigiola's office was not rude to me....even asked what my reasoning was behind my opposition. Foresk$% I mean Forehand's office was a bit flippant as the receptionist said "You do realize she's a co-sponsor of the bill, right?" I responded that I knew that and that was why I was calling......

Wow...and he's a Democrat.
I emailed him several days ago, and even played the "neighbor" card (He lives in my neighborhood).
I'm still awaiting some sort of reply

I was over at ar15.com and there was a little discussion on this, but not much! I would think AR owners would be way "up in arms" about this.
Anyway, I posted some more info and will be meeting a few guys from that forum Friday night.

All,
I have generated a MS word document using Norton's note to his Senator as the basis to all of the senators on the Judical Proceedings Committee voicing my opposition to SB 288. Included in there is another note to the Governor. I would be happy to send a copy to fellow Marylanders. Just drop me a note at [email protected] remove the x's and z's to get me.

Well this one is so important hat I'll bet we have 21 (since you're out of town) and if me and spot77 show up, if my math is correct that would make 21 right?
I have never done as much for gun rights in MD as you Harry, but by my analysis there are ate least 25 Marylanders on this board. There are at least 400 members of my gun club and at least thousands more members of the Associated Gun Club and at a minimum 50,000 NRA members in MD.
It would seem that sacrificing whatever to get there early and taking up spaces could be achieved if a small percentage of the gun owners gave a damn.
Guess not. Kiss 'em good-bye. Registration leads to confiscation.
At least we can say we tried - sort of.
See you in VA, TX, TN, NC, SC or wherever.
Rm....THAT is great news!
OO-Guy, thanks for doing that. I emailed you for a copy.
MikeK, I'll be wearing a dark gray/almost black lightly pinstriped suit; I'm kinda' tall (about 6'2) with a buzzed head. (hahaha....I'll look like 98% of the people there!)
I should be there around 10:00. If you want to get in touch with me, pm me for my cell phone number.
It's always been a pleasure meeting other THR members.
