Gun law proposals coming to Indiana in January

[Don]

Some gun rights advocates see this upcoming legislative session as their best chance to get rid of an Indiana law requiring a license to carry handguns. They say licensing requirements and fees are unnecessary to the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

The controversial legislation was introduced during the 2016 session but did not pass. Supporters believe this year could be different after many seats are now under Republican control after the election.

Another key factor is Republican State Representative Ben Smaltz, who has been appointed to the House Public Policy Committee. Smaltz has been a major advocate of gun rights.

On the other side, President Obama has said he believes some of the gun problems in Chicago have to do with the lax gun laws in Indiana. Republican State Representative Jim Lucas plans to file the bill when lawmakers convene in January.​

Yeah, I'm sure it was all Indiana residents that shot 41 people (11 dead) from Fri night to Sun night.

Typical democrat. Their problems are always someone else's fault.

There is no "gun problem" in Chicago, rather, an overabundance of folks that enjoy engaging in criminal activity. You will not solve the problem by focusing on the criminals tool of choice, but by dealing directly with the criminal. The easiest way to do that is to nullify every damn bit of gun legislation in Cook County. "Allow" the citizenry to deal with the problem (and I cringe using the word "allow", because as citizens, it's their g.d. right and that right isn't bestowed by government).

If enough citizens just said, "F' it...I will do what I will do, independent of a bureaucrat's whims" and go all Paul F'ing Kersey, you'd see a real change.

You'd see a change of politicians too!

Well stated. Simple and 100% correct.
