Link for the committee is below. I'd say email (committee R's for now) on SB 199 and keep the calls going to Senators Brown and Bray on HB 1369.
The Chamber of Commerce sends letters, too, but theirs probably include
You are up early, Bill.
Speaking of early, at 0830 the call lines at the Senate (317-232-9400) open back up to call and support HB 1369.
Hot off the press!!
HB 1369 (Lawful Carry) has not yet been scheduled for a hearing in the Senate and we have only ONE MORE possible date when it could be heard in the Judiciary Committee: April 7. But The 2A Project has learned that our members' calls and emails to Judiciary chairman Liz Brown (Senator.Brown@iga.in.gov), Senate president pro tem Rodric Bray (Senator Bray@iga.in.gov) and your individual senators are having a profound effect at the Statehouse. The Senate caucus is meeting almost daily and HB 1369 is on the radar - with several senators expressing concern about our promised political fallout if HB 1369 does not receive a hearing and dies in the Senate as a result.
Now is the time to keep up the pressure!! Even if you have already sent several emails, please send another one (or several). Let your senator, Sen. Brown and Sen. Bray know that Indiana gun owners EXPECT a hearing on HB1369 on April 7and we will remember what happens - either way - on HB 1369 when we visit the polls in every Republican primary and in every general election for the foreseeable future.
Together, we can make this happen!!
Sen. Liz Brown: Senator.Brown@iga.in.gov; 800-382-9467
Sen. Rodric Bray: Senator.Bray@iga.in.gov; 800-382-9467
Thank you!!

I told Nancy that I only had 1 point today.
- If 1369 is not scheduled for a hearing, I will donate every penny I can scrape together for a Primary Challenge to Senators Brown, Bray and any other republican on the committee.

I tweaked the top part and bumped the ConC States number up to 20 (Iowa and Tennessee passed bills recently.)
There are thirteen sponsors in the Senate. If one is your Senator (mine is), send them an email thanking them.
Keep the peddle to the metal INGO!!! Email tonight, call tomorrow, lather, rinse, repeat!
Senator,
I am writing to urge your support of HB 1369, Firearms Matters. This bill was authored by Representative Ben Smaltz and co-authored by Representatives Lehman, Wesco, and Lucas. HB 1369 is sponsored by Senators Houchin, Messmer, Koch, Freeman, Garten, Tomes, Buck, Crane, Doriot, Leising, Gaskill, Glick, and Young.
This bill codifies the lawful carry of handguns, and comes at a time when the essential right of self-defense has never been more important.
There will soon be 20 States with permit-less/no license carry of handguns. Those who opposed such legislation predicted dire consequences, as they do for any bill remotely considered Pro-2nd Amendment and Pro-Article 1, Section 32 of the Indiana Constitution. Observation shows this is not the case, as does data from FBI Uniform Crime Reporting.
Over the past decade Indiana has passed a number of Pro-2nd Amendment and Pro-Article 1, Section 32 bills into law. These include: the law forbidding the prohibition of firearms stored in vehicles in employer’s parking lots (2010), the firearms law preemption statute (2011), and the strengthening of the language and due process protections under the “Laird Law” (2019). The dire consequences predicted by those who oppose any law that supports the Right to Keep and Bear Arms simply did not happen.
In 2019, no one saw the year 2020 coming. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation: our country gained 8.4 million new gun-owners in 2020. Early on citizens saw shortages of basic supplies and other things never before seen in this country due to the COVID pandemic. Police Departments were being depleted due to COVID exposure and subsequent quarantines. Later riots broke out across the country amidst calls to “defund and reimagine” the Police. People who would’ve depended on calling 911 in 2019 came to a horrific revelation in 2020: “You are on your own, no one is coming.”
As Hamilton County Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush stated in testimony supporting HB 1369, “Calling 911 shouldn’t be Plan A for your self-defense.” The essential right of self-defense does not stop at the property line. I’m sure I can count on your support with this vital legislation.
Thank you,

I'll quit bumping this thread when ConC is the law of the land. Until then, 317-232-9400, they open at 0830. Message for Senator Liz Brown and your State Senator: give HB 1369 a hearing.
Thanks Hawkeye, one more Bill to go. ZZZZ!!
We were in IGCS conference room ABC. 199 got kicked to next to next week. Neither of us were real happy at that point.
Don’t worry, I’ll post my cryptic notes from today later. Some of them weren’t real kind.
