As in so many other blue states, Maryland’s legislature is working on a Bruen response bill — the Gun Safety Act — that would drastically crack down on gun right including no-go zones for concealed carry permit holders. Members of Patriot Picket have been there in Annapolis letting Delegates know that with Bruen now the law of the land, they can expect a fight over whatever Second Amendment restrictions they pass.

In recent weeks we have been on the bricks in Annapolis, occupying the public sidewalk space between the legiscritters’ office buildings and the State House where they hold General Sessions in the evenings. Often, our elected representatives will pass by our hand-held signs with nary a sideways glance. Some will scurry quickly and avoid eye contact, and others will feign being engaged on their cell phones.
This week we decided to take it up a notch. We deployed a 45-foot banner declaring “PURE HOPLOPHOBIA HERE!” It was unavoidable.
We responded to multiple queries of, “What’s hoplophobia?” with “The irrational fear of firearms.” It was quick, to the point, and even encouraged multiple follow-on conversations.
We would like to thank Baltimore Delegate Frank Conaway, Jr. (D – District 40) for spending significant time with us discussing the need of Baltimore residents to have access to self-defense means.
