Whats missing? Veterans! I can tell you that there are Maryland Veterans out there that are more qualified to Conceal Carry than most retired Police Officers and certianally Security Guards and or Armored Car Drivers.

I have started this petition so that we can gain enough support and to get our voice heard at the Maryand State Houseso that we can get CCL Rights in Maryland extended to the Veterans of the ARMED FORCES.

Thank you for your support
