APPEARS IN Legal & Legislation

Two Important Maryland Pro-Gun Bills to be Heard on Tuesday!

Friday, February 20, 2009

Please Contact the House Judiciary Committee!

Two important pieces of pro-gun legislation will be heard on Tuesday, February 24 in the House Judiciary Committee.

House Bill 470 would repeal the requirement that the Secretary of State Police find that a person has a good and substantial reason to wear, carry, or transport a handgun before issuing a handgun permit. HB 470 is a bi-partisan bill that will ensure Maryland citizens are afforded the right to self-defense enjoyed by citizens in 40 other states.

House Bill 682 would require that the Secretary of State Police issue a permit to carry, wear, or transport a handgun within a reasonable time to a person who has successfully completed the Federal Flight Deck Officer Program of the Transportation Security Administration.

Please contact the members of the House Judiciary Committee TODAY and respectfully urge them to support HB 470 and HB 682.  Contact information can be found below.
