Opinion
Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- Last Week, Republican Governor Larry Hogan vetoed House Bill 1343 /Senate Bill 1000, legislation to repeal the Handgun Permit Review Board.
House Bill 1343 /Senate Bill 1000 sought to remove citizen oversight regarding the appeals process for Maryland wear and carry permits.
Current law allows individuals who are denied a wear and carry permit to file an appeal to the Handgun Permit Review Board, a group of five members of the public appointed by the Governor.
HB 1343 /SB 1000 would dissolve this board, thus removing all public oversight, and make all appeals be filed through an administrative office.
Thank you to NRA members who continued to contact their legislators in opposition to this legislation. Also, thank you to those legislators who voted in opposition to SB 1000, and to Governor Hogan for vetoing the bill and preventing the repeal of this important review process.

I find it very ironic that , almost All the gun manufacturers have relocated to the Southern States.
That is in direct contrast to the last Civil War, when the South, lacking industry, had to buy its weapons from England or rely on their soldiers bringing their own rifles from home with them.
Well now , seems as though the worm has turned, doesn’t it ? How many dedicated soldiers would the Socialist Democracy of New England field ?
I live right across the river from Maryland and I now view it as a foreign country along with NewJersey, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts. I will not travel there, buy there or conduct any business whatsoever in the New England Socialist Democratic Peoples Republic.
You get the kind of government you deserve..
It’s no matter. As soon as the State House reconvenes they will override the veto and it will become law.

All the fees and paperwork is RACIST, they want to keep the guns from us poor folks and people of color.
Due process and right to petition. Only low social credit score individuals need those. Right Comrade?
