    Default 3rd OPEN HOLSTER DAY RALLY

    MARYLAND SHALL ISSUE



    - ANNOUNCES THE -



    3rd OPEN HOLSTER DAY RALLY



    January 18th, 2010 (MLK Day)

    On Lawyer’s Mall, Annapolis Maryland





    Sign up for the latest information and updates at:

    http://www.marylandshallissue.org/


    Purpose: To have a large, completely peaceful and unarmed gathering of supporters of Maryland “Shall Issue” and 2nd Amendment rights. We will be wearing empty holsters in protest of the current “Discretionary Issue” system that sees Handgun Carry Permits issued only to those politically connected or dealing in extraordinarily large amounts of physical cash, or the occasional person who can meet the high burden of proof needed to receive one for self defense.

    How to Participate: The intent is to have a nice day with the family and friends while wearing, in plain sight, an empty holster. We are bringing our message to the court yard of Maryland's lawmakers. Join us at Lawyer’s Mall, located at College Ave. & Rowe Blvd., Annapolis, introduce yourself and make new friends.



    Basic Safety Rules: All holsters must remain empty at all times. Do not put toy guns, training guns or the like in your holster. We want to emphasize the emptiness of the holsters and our lack of protection. The holster will simply be a fashion accessory, symbolizing our vulnerability to criminals.

    Long Term: The plan is to build on each Open Holster Day Rally, gathering more protesters each time, to take the protest to the next “Shall Issue" bill hearing and any other bills that concern our 2nd Amendment Rights. Join us, make friends and help maintain your Rights in Maryland.




    PLAN TO JOIN US AND BRING YOUR FAMILY!
