Be still my beating heart!

A bill has been introduced in Maryland to recognize Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania concealed handgun permits!

It may be an uphill battle, but that's never stopped us before. ;-)

Let's all email the committee that is going to be hearing that bill (it is scheduled to be heard on January 26th).

To send an email to the committee, click here: http://tinyurl.com/ybtx97l

Fill in your name, your email address, and select all of the names of the Delegates in the email list by clicking on the first name, scrolling down and, while holding your shift key down, clicking on the last name in the list.

For the email subject line put: Support HB 52!

Suggested email message:
Please support HB 52! As a Virginia concealed handgun permit holder, I would definitely visit Maryland more often and stay longer if Maryland would recognize my permit. Being able to protect myself and my family is very important to me.

-- Let's roll, guys and gals!

This would be awesome!

There is hope for Maryland...

In my best Yoda voice...epic, this would be. The doubter in me thinks they won't be forward leaning on something like this until they move to a shall-issue system, but a man has to be able to cling to hope doesn't he!

Sent a message to all of them. This would be great, although as a former resident of that state, I would not hold my breath.

Done. Sure would be nice to feel like visiting Maryland isn't an extra safety risk...

From the state that tried to pass "no smoking - in your own house"

I dont know, but it will get my CCW one more state closer to Blumberg!!!

IIRC that wasn't the state that was only Montgomery County ...you might as well live in Berkeley.

That would be great! It looks as if they are trying to get bordering states allowed based on that each of those states share a boarder with MD. I will also be contacting all of the above.

I would also suggest posting this anywhere else that you can to get as many involved as possible.

That would be outstanding. One reason I don't often go to Maryland is that they don't have reciprocity with VA for permits.

Just sent my email. As a resident of N. VA., it's hard to get around in this area without having to pass in and out of Maryland especially for work. I would really like to see this bill pass.
