Maryland – -(Ammoland.com)- Last Monday, February 5, 2018, two members of the firearms community [ The Patriot Picket ] were arrested while performing protest activities on the public sidewalks in front of Lawyers Mall on the Annapolis Maryland State House grounds, as they have done in the same spot consistently for the past three sessions of the General Assembly.

They were handcuffed, taken to the Annapolis Police Department station, processed, ticketed and released within a couple of hours; they received additional tickets related to the original incident when they met with the Maryland Capitol Police the very next day. As of this notice, the Maryland Capitol Police has made a request to the Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney to drop all charges.

This incident has a chilling effect on 1st Amendment-protected activity – peaceful assembly and redress of grievances.

Those involved, and other members of the firearms community, are making plans to assemble in protest of this infringement of 1st Amendment-protected civil liberties again this coming Monday evening, February 12, 2018, in the same location as the arrests.
