I sent letters via email and USPS to all of the committee members. I was able to make it to the senate hearings a few weeks ago, but I'm sorry that I wasn't able to make it this time around. Thank you very much to those who did attend.
Thanks To All Maryland NRA Members!

good question.Why isn't the NRA supporting HB1211?
And on March 11th they ignore it. That makes me wonder if they figured they could mention it when it "had no chance" and then withdrew their meager support when they got wind of the attention the bill is getting .Among the pro-gun bills being considered are HB 179, which would repeal the current law requiring that all handguns undergo "ballistic imaging" before they could be sold, and HB 1211, the "Citizens` Protection Act of 2005," which makes improvements to the state`s current discriminatory carry permit system, allowing trained, law-abiding citizens to obtain a permit to carry a firearm for personal protection.
It appears that they support/oppose bills based on the ramifications for the rest of the country and Maryland be damned !Make no mistake - the NRA is NOT Maryland's friend.
Austin Charles, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense:I have never understood how they determine which bill's they will back and which they won't.
