Noted without comment other than to add that for a gun owner in MD, there’s really not anywhere more important for you to be on that day. Short of WW3 breaking out or being incapacitated, I think I should be there.
Remember folks, jackets and ties and shined shoes. We’re showing them that gun owners are a polished, powerful constituency, not a bunch of thugs and bumpkins.
Don’t forget:
The “Assault Weapon Tax” Bill is to be heard in the House on March 14
Other House gun bills (CCW included) to be heard March 9

Ooops… made a post about this but forgot to actually fill in the link. I realized on the way back from Virginia that I had forgotten, as I was making my way through MD actually.
