The Maryland Gun Ban Referendum of 1988 was conducted by the ad hoc Maryland Committee Against the Gun Ban. This grass-roots committee created a system of county chairmen and coordinators for the entire state. The referendum battle energized Maryland's Gun Rights Activists for years to come. No longer willing to rely on low-key lobbying in Annapolis, these activists quickly learned the ropes and made the Association a solid player in the State's annual Legislative Session. We routinely fill the Joint Hearing room to an overflow and have conducted large and successful rallies in Lawyer's Mall.
