LOUISVILLE — Chris Cox, who heads up the National Rifle Association’s lobbying arm, said on Saturday that getting federal right-to-carry reciprocity legislation signed into law is a top priority and pledged to fight until it happens.
“Thanks to you, right-to-carry has been expanded across the country,” Mr. Cox said the NRA’s annual meeting of members at its convention in Louisville. “We now have some form of right-to-carry in all 50 states, so thank you.”
“But there’s more to do,” he said. “We need a Congress to pass national right-to-carry reciprocity and a president to sign it into law, and we’re not going to stop until we get it.”
Mr. Cox had mentioned Milwaukee County, Wisconsin Sheriff David Clarke, who a day earlier called for like-minded folks to come together and demand that Congress make it happen.
“We need to band together with the NRA and every gun-supporting lobby in America and pressure this GOP-controlled Congress to make it priority legislation to pass federal concealed carry license reciprocity in the United States of America,” Mr. Clarke said at the NRA Institute for Legislative Action Leadership Forum on Friday.

I agree 100%. Also now is the time. Let us see what the Republican establishment is made of. They will have enough DumbocRATS with them to over ride Obama since they are up for re-election also and they need the law abiding gun owners to win and they know it. We will probably have to wait for Trump though.
Hogan needs to up the ante and change MD Law on the HQL and Right to Carry reasoning. Hogan can do some of this by a simple Letter change of policy / procedure and not go near the legislature. Just send it to the Superintendent of MSP to enact. They change policy / procedure every day.
Hogan needs to just grow a pair and make and executive order allowing non-felons to carry in MD.
2A gives us this right. No, I'm wrong. Inalienable rights given to us at birth by God gives us this right, and the 2A just reinforces it.
States unconstitutionally "take" these rights away, but really, they can't.
So, carry.
