DOESNT!!!

It's looking like they have their minds made up and they'll provide the "facts" to support it.
Let's have an investigative report on the criminal backgrounds of reporters and media talking heads.... bet that'll turn up a few "startling" tidbits.

That's going to be ugly. Major hatchet job in the making. Hundreds of thousands of LTCH holders, and they are going to highlight the lowest common denominators.

 

[Archbishop]

Its the Star is there any question how the article will be written?

 

[Bisley Man]

Hey, out of 200-300THOUSAND LTCH holders let's plaster the faces of 20-30 bozos who got a LTCH and committed a crime! The Star used to be conservative in the past (ConservaStar). Used to make a nice contrast with USA Today(Liberal Way Today)

 

[MrsGungho]

care to explain?

 

[Cain71]

If there is a problem,go take it up with the State Police,they issued them,but we can not do that from fear of retaliation,instead lets make a story that all who carry are evil and push an issue that at this time has been decided. It is my right newsman,go report that Mc Donalds also made me fat and get off my a##.

Well, I'm still not going to run out and waste good money on a copy of the Star. It'll be a hatchet job against gun owners. What else can we expect. If they post it online, I'll likely read it, but I sure won't go out of my way to help them stay in business.

I would suggest that our INDY area residents WRITE A THOUGHTFUL LETTER to the editor AFTER watching the video/reading the story. If the Indy Star does a good job then they need to be congratulated. If they run a biased story then they need to be bombarded with FACTUAL, CRITICAL, CONSTRUCTIVE and NON-insulting letters from as many writers as possible.

Newspapers will cave to pressure when they are confronted with opposing views in a thoughtful way.

However if we gun owners don't write to retort then the biased reporter wins. Further if gun owners do write, but if the letters do not represent us well, then we look like jerks and the biased reporter wins. It is critical that we represent ourselves respectfully.

I would hope someone from Indy will provide us LINKS to the story when it is published.

But we cannot afford to simply ignore pieces that trash us. We must respond. Our silence, when we are criticized, only emboldens the liars who write trash pieces and only allows them to continue to publish biased stories that work against us. Silence = loss of freedom.

I urge all to 'attend' and participate in the Monday Noon chat they mentioned with that video.

 

[furbymac]

the guy said "the state police issued the ltch against the local pd's recomendation." But dont' you have to have the approval of both the state police and the local pd before you are issued a ltch??

Heh, Monday just happens to be my day off...

Seriously though, this is going to get ugly. Didn't Indiana use to have the highest LTCHs per capita?

 

[minuteman32]

All the locals can do is "recommend approve" or "recommend disapprove". If they recommend disapprove, they need to give a reason, but the ISP will issue/not issue according to state & possibly, federal law.

 

[Bill of Rights]

Chief has to sign off on it.

No. The chief (or Sheriff) is asked if he has information as to why you are not a proper person...that is, are you a known troublemaker whose activities might not have gotten you charges yet... And the chief or sheriff can forward those concerns, but even if he says, no, don't issue, if there are no disqualifying criteria, the supt. of ISP must issue you a LTCH.

Also, as to the OP, don't bury this yet... Jim Tomes, the main, driving force behind the 2nd Amendment Patriots in Evansville talked to this guy. If it's still a hatchet job... I think Jim will be all over him like stink on .

Blessings,
Bill
