“2A Tuesday” will be held next Tuesday, February 4. NRA-ILA, along with Maryland Shall Issue, the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore, the Maryland State Rifle and Pistol Association, the Maryland Licensed Firearms Dealers Association and the Western Maryland Sportsmen's Coalition, will be holding "2A Tuesday.” As a rally and lobby day, “2A Tuesday” is being held to remind anti-gun state legislators that gun owners in Maryland will not back down until all legislation infringing on their Second Amendment rights is defeated or repealed. Those present for “2A Tuesday” will be able to sit in on meetings with state legislators, listen to presentations from the major grassroots organizations, attend meet-and-greet sessions with Maryland's Second Amendment advocacy organizations, and participate in seminars on being a more effective activist.
This event will be centered at Lawyer’s Mall near the Maryland State House and the General Assembly office buildings. Updated information on “2A Tuesday” can be found here. Please check in at room 142 of the House Office Building on February 4. On the chance there is inclement weather, please contact (410) 841-3555 to receive information on an alternate location.
