Over in Maryland I hear both the DEMS and REPUBS are running as anti-gunners.

Not true. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend is a gun-grabber. She has been taking advantage of the sniper situation, for political purposes. According to Deborah Orin of the New York Post, it is backfiring.

But her gun ad may have boomeranged - a new poll found voters saw it as inappropriate by a 2-1 margin - 55 to 27 percent. Among undecideds, 63 percent say it was a no-no. The race is still a statistical tie with Townsend up one point in a state Al Gore won by 17.

Her competition, Bob Ehrlich, has said that he would review gun laws to see if they have been effective, especially the "ballistics fingerprinting" of all newly purchased handguns - which has resulted in absolutely zero convictions.

Naturally, the DemocRATs and their willing accomplices at the Baltimore Sun are claiming that Ehrlich is a tool of the NRA.

It's kinda cool to drive a few miles south, stand at the Mason-Dixon Line and just hold out a CC towards Maryland, while dancing a jig of happiness.

The wife and I were just at the Fiarfax County Office yesterday applying for ours....

The NRA has a lovely shooting range just off Route 50 in Fairfax. I was just telling my daughter tonight that we need to make time to get down there. I haven't applied for my concealed weapons permit yet -- everyone must be thinking along the same lines -- you're all ahead of me. A lot of people are secretly hoping to run the creep(s) over with their cars if given a chance. [My liberal neighbors have more guns and ammo than I will ever have.]
