Maryland – -(Ammoland.com)-The 2018 Session of the Maryland General Assembly gavels in at noon today, JAN 10th 2018. Your Maryland State Rifle and Pistol Association legislative team will be hard at work defending our rights from further encroachments and supporting positive 2nd Amendment legislation.
There are several bills that were prefiled before the session began that we are already tracking through the process.
- House Bill 29 (Delegate Rey) / Senate Bill 27 (Senator Hough): Cross-filed bills advocating for placing the training requirement for a Handgun Wear & Carry Permit after a prelimary approval is received for the permit from the Maryland State Police. Our Position: Support.
- Senate Bill 74 (Senator Ramirez): A bill to ban bump stocks and other firearms accessories that “increase the rate of fire” of designated firearms. Our Position: Oppose.
- Senate Bill 99 (Senator Norman): A bill to codify personal protection and/or self-defense as a valid “good and substantial” reasons for the issuance of a Handgun Wear & Carry Permit.
We will be actively tracking bills throughout the session and will send occasional updates here and on the Maryland State Rifle and Pistol Association website.

About Maryland State Rifle and Pistol Association (MSRPA):
The Maryland State Rifle and Pistol Association (MSRPA) is the flagship Gun Rights organization in and for the State of Maryland. The Association offers both individual and club memberships. Support of the shooting disciplines and legislative activities is primarily through a systems of committees. All participants are volunteers. In the face of a near tidal wave of citizen disarmament occurring in Maryland, the MSRPA has played a critical part in drawing the line and standing firm for Gun Rights. Without this resistance, things would have been much worse and been so much sooner. Now the objective is to continue to develop new activists with numerous individual skills who will help us bring Maryland into line with the rest of the states which have made strong gains in protecting the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

There are parts of my own country I will probably never go to see again due to their oppressive policies and unconstitutional laws. It is most unfortunate and I wish all freedom lovers in those states much luck in their endeavors. However, I will spend my money only in places that support and defend ALL of the Bill of Rights!
They do not even want retired police officers to have hand gun permits I thing you would want as good guys out there who many be able to help as possible.Not just the bad guys with guns. If a police officers retires in good standing and wants to carry a gun he should be given a permit along with his badge. Now there some officers who do not want the permit but if he does why should he not get it.

Bump Stock Ban has been stopped temporarily. Holding my breathe. : O
I used to go to and stay in the Inner Harbor at least once every year for a few days, Baltimore has been on a fast slide to “hood” status for a few years. My CCW permit is not honored in Maryland so I cannot protect my family or myself, and it is obvious that the state and/or local police cannot protect citizens either. With that being said, no one including myself, from my family will visit or spend 1 cent in the commie S**T hole called Maryland. The state government and SS styled State Police put more effort into… Read more »
Baltimore has now taken the lead away from Chicago as Americas murder capital. You go, Baltimore! Sarcasm.
