Lugar is a member of the establishment. Lost touch with the Hoosier state.
The real question on this law is whether the power should rest with the State or with the Federal Government. If you are for States rights, you would have to side with Lugar.
Here's my letter to him...
Sen. Lugar...
I simply cannot understand your opposition to National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act.
It changes absolutely nothing about the out-of-state visitors who can now legally carry a handgun in Indiana but it opens up a vast amount of benefits for visitors from Indiana into other states.
It is all benefit and no harm at all to Indiana, its residents or its laws. There is no logical way you can defend a vote against the bill and that is why it is frustrating to see you take your hardline stance.
Your vote on this issue will be remembered. Please do not choose to abandon your Indiana state again.
Good for you! Expect a form letter in the mail soon. Oh, and by the way, it won't define his position. I have stacks of them.

Saw this earlier and got my blood boiling!
Democratic Lawmakers Urge Obama to Veto Gun Measure - NYTimes.com
Just doesn't make any sense to me, he comes from a State that recognizes all licenses/permits from all States and Countries, but not nationally?
This weekend at the Lafayette gun show, I signed the petition to get Mourdock on the ballot. We need to get rid of this idiot Lugar.
Yet again the Republicans take care of gun owners by electing garbage like Lugar and his buddy Coats. Good job GOP!!
