Bill Lifting Gun Controls Moves Forward

[cak387]

Just read this in the local paper today and thought some of you might enjoy the read.

Legislation to lift local gun controls progressing in Statehouse » Local News » The Herald Bulletin

I also like the fact that they called it a permit for the entire article.

its the herald bulletin, I am just surprised they spelled it right.

I like this line right here.

“Wherever you are, it could be a library, a county council meeting, or any kind of social meeting, if there are people sitting in that room with concealed weapons permits and they’re packing, that’s the safest room in that building,” said state Sen. Johnny Nugent

I read that in our local crap paer as well today. I completely support it.

The only difference is I think OC is a little more influential. When some jackass sees armed citizens, I think they are less likely to get stupid and do some crazy *****. Just my opinion.

More rights for the people!

So, would this Bill affect the City Park ban in Indy?

So, would this Bill affect the City Park ban in Indy?

Yes, along with all the other park/city property bans that there are. It will also get rid of Speedways concealed carry ban and Gary and E Chicago assault weapon ban. It will pretty much strike down 99% of local firearm ordinances. They will still be able to ban firearms in courthouses (with restrictions if there is a private business or residence there) and they can ban open carry at public meeting. Also if your in pretrial diversion type of program or similar.

And if your an employee they can prohibit carry while on the clock. Also they can still decide what firearms a LEO is allowed to carry.

It will even strike down local ordinances regarding discharging a firearm in town. But if your not being very careful they can still hit you with criminal recklessness with a firearm.

Here is the link to the bill.
Senate Bill 0292

Everybody write/call/email your Senators.

[Richard Whitefeather]

Head off the gun banners at the pass, keep them in line with the state! Looks like some good progress is being made! All for it!

Gun Banners: "We have to curb crime (snivel, snivel)! Give me a break. You can take crime to the curb, but it doesn't mean it won't **** on your leg!

You can do more than hope!

Call your General Assemblyman and State Senator now.

I'm beginning to really really LOVE living in Indiana. FINALLY, some common sense with these legislaters. Let's hope this new found common sense idea of government is contagious
