Want to carry when in Maryland...

join in the struggle.

Action needed!!

From a VA-ALERT.

VA-ALERT is a project of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, Inc.

Maryland needs our help passing a CHP recognition bill
**************************************************

Maryland Shall Issue sent out this alert on Friday:

"Delegates Smigiel and Jennings are leading an effort to petition HB52
to the floor of the House of Delegates. This process is a little used
one that allows legislation to go around the committee and avoid being
trapped by either the possibility of an unfavorable vote or, in the
case of HB52, being 'desk drawered' by a committee chair."

As you might recall from an alert a few weeks ago, HB 52 is a bill
that would make Virginia CHPs good in Maryland!

To send a message to the entire Maryland House of Delegates:

1. Click here: Send an eMail Message to Any or All of Your Maryland Delegate(s):

2. Click on the first Delegate's name (Beitzel) and shift-click on
the last Delegate's name (Ramirez) to select all of the Delegates

3. For the subject line, put something like, "Please sign the
petition to bring HB 52 to the Floor for a vote"

4. For the message, use something like this: "Please sign the
petition to bring HB 52 to the Floor for a vote! This important bill
will encourage concealed handgun permit holders from surrounding
states to spend more time and money in Maryland. It will also expand
the states where Maryland permits are recognized."

Please sign the petition to bring HB 52 to the Floor for a vote

This important bill will encourage concealed handgun permit holders from surrounding States to spend more time and money in Maryland. As it is now, I drive through (with the emphasis on "through") Maryland 10 to 20 time a year. I make a point of not stopping. When I have business in Maryland, I stay in a hotel/motel in either Virginia, Pennsylvania, or Delaware and day trip -- with minimum time in Maryland. As for your own citizens, this bill will also expand the States where Maryland permits are recognized.

Although I prefer to spend my money in the Old Dominion, Maryland has many great attractions that my family and I would love to visit.

Consider it done.

Good luck with it. If you can get enough delegates from far western Maryland or the eastern shore to sign up you might get it to the floor. The only problem is Maryland politics are controlled by the D.C. suburbs and the city of Baltimore. Those folks really don't care about the revenue they are losing. Keeping guns out is more important to them than bringing money in.

Tend to agree.

But, if you don't try, you'll never win.
