Maryland Pro-Gun Bill Scheduled to be Heard in Committee on Thursday!

Tuesday, February 17, 2009

Please Contact the House Judiciary Committee Today!

The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hear House Bill 359 on Thursday, February 19 at 1:00 p.m. 

HB359, introduced by State Delegates Tony McConkey (R-33A), Jill Carter (D-41), Benjamin Kramer (D-19), Susan McComas (R-35B), and Kriselda Valderrama (D-26), would allow an eligible citizen who has had a temporary or final protective order issued on their behalf to be issued a concealed handgun permit by the Secretary of State Police.

This is a step in the right direction toward ensuring that all law-abiding Marylanders can exercise the Right-to-Carry for self-defense.

Please contact the members of the House Judiciary Committee TODAY and respectfully urge them to support HB359.  Contact information can be found below.
