Can he just up and do that?

[anniegetyourgun]

What? This applies to ranges?

[AppyPappy]

Whoa. Good move. Now the sniper can't fire his weapon. Does that mean he will move into Virginia?

[Dog Gone]

Bad news if you're being raped in your own house with a gun under your pillow, I guess.

[Alas Babylon!]

Parris Glendening will bar discharge of all firearms starting tomorrow in Montgomery, Prince George, Howard, and Anne Arundel counties. This includes hunting!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

So if some crackhead kicks in your back door, what are you supposed to do, use harsh language? Good luck on stopping me from blasting him, guv!

[CCWoody]

Well, obviously, Mr. "sniper", you have been foiled! Too bad you are not allowed to shoot that rifle of yours anymore in those 4 counties.

[FormerLurker]

So the cops can't shoot at bad guys including the "Beltway Sniper"?

[uncbob]

I am sure the sniper will now stop

[Diddle E. Squat]

But, of course, the Democrats would never politicize these sniper shootings.

[El Gato]

So, does this mean that if some civilian, or even a military person not on duty, sees the sniper in action and takes him out with their own legally owned firearm, that person will be charged with violation of this "order"?

What are they going to do if they detect gunfire, call in an Arc Light mission? Sheesh. Or does the gov think the sniper or snipers will say to themselves: "Oh gee, the Governor has forbidden discharge of a firearm, so I guess I (we) will have to stop now". Or will he figure that they are somehow going to zero in on gunfire, so he'll turn to other means, like car bombs or somesuch?

[Saundra Duffy]

What's the rapist's worst nightmare? A woman with a gun! This governor is clearly a dangerous person.

[mhking]

Huh?!

[mhking]

Sounds like a HMB Alert might be in order...

[carolinaconservative]

Looks like I will have to buy a Goose from the grocery store. </sarcasm>

[Dog Gone]

I hope this also applies to cops in those counties. There are a few banks there that I think "need a good robbin'."

[mhking]

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!
This has come about after much badgering by you, my friends and extended family...

[My2Cents]

He should sign an order prohibiting Maryland politicians from shooting off their mouths.

[RightWhale]

That's all? Why doesn't he also ban the bombing of nightclubs and ban cancer and heart disease while he is scratching his signature across his proclamation anyway?

[don-o]

38 knee jerks.<P.

But, does someone have some substance on what the silly statement actually says?
