Speaker of the House of Delegates                     .

State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21401

Dear Mr, Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 496.

This bill would create a temporary transfer permit and fee to sell, trade, or transfer
regulated firearms at tables or fixed displays at gun shows. Sales or transfers would be
performed in compliance with current law governing the sale or transfer of regulated
firearms by a licensed dealer. The bill would also provide for penalties for those
individuals who provide false information on an application for such a permit.

Senate Bill 330, which was passed by the General. Assembly and signed by me on May 11,
1993, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 496.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
