Didn't see this posted here, figured y'all would be interested...


Today I gave a taped statement to the Baltimore PD about the person who was trying to intimidate me out of testifying against the shooter in last summer’s shooting incident.

I called the State Trooper working my permit application to find out what he needed from the BPD in order to move my carry permit application forward. This was the straightforward part of the conversation; he apparently just needs a written statement from the BPD detectives working the case linking the guy who told me “I better start thinking positive” and that I shouldn’t testify against his friend the shooter to the shooting case.

My guess: our friend the corporal has gotten smacked for suggesting that because I “brought it upon myself”, the threats I’ve received don’t meet the requirements for a personal protection permit under Snowden. I can’t say how I know, but I know from a reputable source that when the commanding officer of the district that I live in told Baltimore Police Commissioner Fred Bealefeld (full disclosure: I consider Fred a friend in the professional sense, ie we’re very much on good terms and I know he thinks highly of my community service efforts, but I still address him as “Commissioner”) that the State Police’s response to my application was “they’ll leave you alone if you quit being a community activist and stop doing what you’re doing”, his jaw simply hit the floor. He couldn’t believe that they’d actually discourage person who’s actually got the stones to stand tall shoulder to shoulder with the BPD from doing the right thing and continuing on.

It would piss me off every morning to wake up in MD & know that the State denies my right to protect myself & my family.

I grew up in MD. Now I live in VA, and I see the light. You really need to fight for MD to pass a "shall issue" concealed handgun permit law.
