[stephen87]

74-24 yays have it.

 

[dagibson1507]

WOOT!

 

[IndyGunworks]

PASSED!!!

 

[stephen87]

With that said: what's our next hurdle?

 

[BuckCreek]

Woot! It passed!

 

[fundy87]

Big +1 to you guys for keeping us folks without the ability to see it updated

 

[Rookie]

With that said: what's our next hurdle?

This!

 

[poppy]

The lady demo from Hammond and the demo gentleman from gary presented very weak arguments against the bill.

 

[stephen87]

Basically this is the context of their speeches:


"Think of the children! They aren't gun owners, so there should be no gun close to them."
"People get mad, people shoot people." I think he forgot to add thugs in there.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

I am guessing the amended bill goes back to the senate?

 

[brotherbill3]

It was amended - so back to the Senate - which can accept the changes - or most likely - conference committee to get 'conformed bill' that

BOTH house and senate must than approve that version.

I have a screen shot of the vote ... who voted for / against.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I am guessing the amended bill goes back to the senate?

I would guess.

 

[Bill of Rights]

I just posted up in the 2014 legislative session thread. Next step is the conference committee... One Representative and one Senator from each party, for a total of four people, to hash out any differences in the Senate and House versions passed. There is still opportunity for some bad amendments... we are not home free yet. Keep up the pressure, and I'll let you all know who the conference committee members are as soon as I know.

Blessings,
Bill

What are the odds of these so called "bad amendments" being added?

 

[Kokomo1]

Can anyone help me define this part of the law? (I'm not expecting a definition that will stand up in court.)

Redefine “school property” to only include property of the school and not other buildings that might be connect to the school by a parking lot

Example #1: School FFA organization has a farm plot adjacent to school. Long edge of parcel directly adjoins (large) parking lot which adjoins school on the other long edge. Would carrying on the FFA plot with no students present be legal?

Example #2: FFA owns a parcel of land several miles from school. Students are of course occasionally on this land for school sanctioned activities. Could I carry when students are not present? What about if a students drops by to check on the crops?

Who do we contact for this part?

 

[stephen87]

If the school shares a parking lot with a Walmart, the parking lot is not "school property." Under current law, it is off-limits because of the fact that it is the lot for a school.

 

[SteveM4A1]

Good news here. Lets keep up the pressure. I am also sending emails out to those who opposed this bill.

Ah, we are not talking about school owned property that doesn't have a school building. That makes more sense. I guess I was over thinking it.
