In many Legislative Districts, the Primary Election was THE election, in that the incumbents faced absolutely no opposition whatsoever, and will have none in the General Election.

Other Districts will be far more challenging where gun owners are concerned. In a "normal" election, gun rights groups generally support even a reasonably pro 2nd Amendment experienced incumbent with a pro gun voting record and connections in Annapolis, over a new untested fire breathing pro 2nd Amendment challenger.

This year, the General Election will be anything but normal, and the stakes are higher. We are currently studying the Senate candidates and their voting records in a number of Districts.

During the last 4 years, Martin O'Malley contented himself with completely rolling back the very small gains we made with the concealed carry permit policies during the Ehrlich years and replacing them with even more restrictive policies. If re-elected, O'Malley will be term limited out in 4 years and thus free to act without regard to political consequences at the polls.

The obvious answer to the threat of an administration backed gun control initiative is to elect candidates to the Senate who will be unlikely to succumb to a "party call" vote to end a filibuster, or who are members of the minority party and thus not beholding to a "party call" vote by Senate President Mike Miller.

This concept and strategy will be explored further in the next issue.

We have compiled the list of winners in the primary election and diligently working on final recommendations for the candidate we believe are best qualified and positioned to protect our 2nd Amendment Rights during the next 4 years.

Email notification will be sent when the recommendations are available but no less than 2 weeks before early voting begins on October 28, 2010.
