At 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 22 the Maryland House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on House Bill 2, sponsored by State Delegate Daniel Riley (D-34A). HB2 seeks to remove language from existing Maryland code requiring that the Secretary of State Police “find a person has good and substantial reason to wear, carry, or transport a handgun, such as a finding that the permit is necessary as a reasonable precaution against apprehended danger.” HB2 would make Maryland a “shall-issue” state.
The hearing will be held in Room 100 in the House Office Building in Annapolis. Please make plans to attend this important hearing. If you are unable to attend, please contact the members of the House Judiciary Committee and respectfully urge them to support HB2.
