I see a great opportunity here to market a ray gun, no ammo, no engraving.

But if it ionizes the atoms in the air in the process, then the MD State Police might say that is an electric current and bannable under that law.

No, but seriously, there are at least four states that have legislative language banning ray guns on the books. This stun gun ban would probably not make MD one of them, but you never know what a court may decide.

Hmmm how about a gun that shoots out a boxing glove on a spring like in the three stooges.......

Or a jack in the box that punches people when it opens.....

Liquid Manure gun......

The possibilities are endless!

Only if they can find someone to engrave their balls.

Thumbs up

The bill has been basically killed by the committee with an "unfavorable" vote.
Thank you to everyone who wrote letters or called the delegates. They were reportedly overwhelmed, impressed and greatly influenced with the letters, calls and the eventual decent sized showing at the hearing.
This just goes to show that in MD it is possible to get favorable gun laws passed as well as long as we show them we are watching and remind them that we vote.
