Maybe it will get easier. This is an email I got from an anti-gun group:

During this session, Governor Hogan had the unprecedented opportunity to appoint all five members to the Handgun Permit Review Board. This board reviews appeals when someone is denied a concealed-carry permit by the Secretary of the Maryland State Police (MSP). The board has the authority to overturn the MSP’s ruling.
All five appointments are about to be voted on Tuesday in the State Senate. While all five appointments will make for an unbalanced board, the most egregious appointment up for a vote is Richard Jurgena. Jurgena is a gun right’s advocate who has continually voiced his belief that our concealed-carry permit laws are unconstitutional and that they should be loosened. How can we reasonably trust someone to enforce a law they view as unconstitutional? Marylander’s to Prevent Gun Violence is calling on the State Senate to reject his nomination.
TOMORROW, THE STATE SENATE WILL VOTE TO CONFIRM THE APPOINTEES! We need you to urgently send a message to your State Senator to demand that he or she REJECT THE MOST VOCAL GUN RIGHTS ACTIVIST, RICHARD JURGENA!
Maryland’s common-sense gun laws and concealed carry permit restrictions are intended to keep Marylanders safe. Loosening these restrictions by placing this gun rights advocate on the Review Board puts Maryland citizens and families at risk.
PLEASE TAKE TWO MINUTES TO TELL YOUR STATE SENATOR THAT HE OR SHE MUST REJECT THE APPOINTMENT OF RICHARD JURGENA!
The vote is tomorrow - there's no time to waste,
Jen Pauliukonis
Legislative Director
It would be a good idea to contact our state senators to let them know we're in FAVOR of these guys.
