Yeah man...it helps teach We instead of Me, Myself, and I.

Hitler did the same thing. He knew he could never convince most ordinary Germans that his way was right so he established the Hitler Youth to ensure the next generation was properly indoctrinated.

Sad.

Maryland gun clubs sue Maryland State Police
 

Maryland Shall Issue, in association with the Associated Gun Clubs of Maryland, the Maryland Licensed Firearm Dealers Association, and several individual plaintiffs filed a complaint today in Baltimore County Circuit Court against the Maryland State Police (MSP) for the state’s failure to process firearm applications within the seven days mandated by Maryland law.

The MSP’s failure to comply with its statutory duty -- which MSP has admitted is taking closer to 55 than the required seven days -- infringes the fundamental constitutional right of Maryland citizens to purchase and keep firearms for purposes of self-defense in their homes, as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, and puts them at risk while the bureaucracy takes its time to process citizen applications. The lawsuit seeks a court order compelling the MSP to process all firearms applications in seven days as required by law.

Additionally, the MSP’s failure to issue approvals has caused significant economic harm to licensed firearms dealers in Maryland. These business owners also risk civil or criminal sanctions if a firearm has been transferred to a purchaser whose application is later disapproved by the MSP.

We have requested an expedited review of this case given the nature of the harm brought against our members who are attempting to exercise a civil right. Additionally, the plaintiffs are listed as anonymous individuals - publishing their names would provide those persons looking to do harm notice that their potential victim is unarmed. For this reason, we ask that you do not speculate on their identity.

It has been 30 days since this was filed. Hope to hear results soon.

Is that 8 months in Maryland time?
:mad:

Maybe when POTUS referred to 57 states he was thinking of those states that have their own more draconian guidelines for peasant behavior. Isn't it usually 3 days and, in the absence of any word back, an implied approval?

Indiana North Carolina Wyoming
Kansas North Dakota (Class 1 only) must be over 21

Nice, like the West.

It should be that when you pass a background check and qualification in any state its for the whole damn country...especially since that's the intent and purpose of the Second Amendment.

I believe pcfixer is speaking above to the issue of simply being allowed to carry through a purchase and get the permission slip such that the buyer can legally own the firearm, not a carry permit process.

“The purpose of the Second Amendment is to secure our ability to oppose enemies foreign and domestic, Its the Right of the People not the military or anyone else that shall not be infringed. Any, Any, Any Restrictions are in fact in direct violation of the Constitution. You cannot fight fire with fire if you do not have at least equal fire power and its nor the gov or states business what supplies and fire power the people have and hold so long as they are not using such to commit crimes which most are not. That means jacking up prices, limits on ammo or types of weapons held by the people in order to keep our nation safe. we also have the what if, what if we are invaded by our enemies could we distribute enough fire power to our civilian population in time to hold off such a invasion, I think not nor do most of our civilian population have the needed skills and training to engage in massive combat. To me its only prudent that as a entire nation we be ready and trained at least in the basics and that the civilian population have a certain bond and faith as well as trust in those who serve in our armed forces a established relationship so to speak more than just a thank you for your service which most civilians really don't know what all that service really means. We are in critical times in our country if all Hell cuts loose for any reason natural disaster invasion whatever our military needs the faith and trust of the people to restore order and follow their instruction knowing its for their greater good and safety.

National carry law
 

We are still trying to get a National Carry law, along the lines as your drivers license, if a state has you one, yours is good in their state. Our problem is the seven states that have the most gun restrictions, which just happen to be the ones with the highest crime rates keep messing it up. Last try we were 4 votes short in the Senate.
If more people would read the Federalist Papers, they would know why the amendments were added to the Constitution. Most people would be surprised to know that your rights to own firearms is you only civil right not automatically restored if you have been convicted of a felony then given a pardon. It must state in your pardon that your right to own firearms have been reinstated.

What a poorly drafted Complaint, unfortunately. I predict the defense filing and receiving a 12(b)(6) dismissal with some "shotgun pleading" language thrown in by the judge. Sure it'll be dismissed Without Prejudice but with Rule 11 hovering, the Plaintiff attorney won't refile. I see some good ideas in the pleading but using that Venue and those particular arguments is a loser.

I've had carry licenses in some of those states and they are real pain in the ass. Guilty until innocent environment...two or three taps? We'll have to look at this extra hard, why didn't you shot them in the leg, your scores show you can?

Think lack of understanding, personal limitations and fears, and the desire to control everything (an impossible goal) will make a National CCW unlikely. Doesn't mean it ain't worth trying for though.
