2022 Legislative Session Thread

Kelly, I wish I could be there! New job and I missed the second half of yesterday due to a root canal means I have to put in a full day today.

Good luck to you, Guy and everyone else speaking on behalf of FREEDOM today. I think this is the year we finally get this done. If so, a celebration is in order and drinks are on me.

KellyinAvon, Mr. Relford, and all the rest; thank you for being there and speaking on behalf of us who cannot be there.

Go get'em!

ISRPA is on the SB 14 and HB 1077 train too! Possible @Kirk Freeman sighting?

Some of these people in power are very difficult to listen to.

 

[tbhausen]

Channel 13 news is about to talk to “mommies who demand some action” about today’s bill. My guess is they won’t be pleased.

 

[cbhausen]

I didn’t start watching until after @KellyinAvon had already testified. I’m sure he was stellar as always.

And Guy Relford absolutely eviscerated the Antis’ arguments against HB1077, which passed the Public Policy Committee 9-3.

 

[tbhausen]

And here it is. Sorry about the audio quality. Caught it in the clubhouse where I live.

Caught that demanding ***** of a mom crying "blood in the streets".

Go pound sand, wench.

Dang that was a long day! Thanks for the vote of confidence cb, I came in hot with about 95% of the testimony FBI stats. Tried to make it interesting. I went 2nd? That never happens.

Guy f-ing dropped the mic!

Not your normal group of Moms against freedom there today speaking out against this bill. Wonder if it was the fear of the virus keeping them away.. This year we seen more people use the rise in gang or violent felons killing each other to speak out against this bill... But will ignore how how we are seeing DA's or Judges who are activist letting the violent repeat offenders Or known gang members out on low bail then have the, Bail Reform Project come and bail them out..
It does feel like the gun control groups are changing up their game now in our state with starting out with, "I'm a Gun Owner, BUT".. Or add emotions to make you fell bad as a means to get what they want. A few seemed to get their feathers ruffled during the questioning you could see them getting a bit mad with a look of "How dare you ask me this when I can't answer with a clear response to back my speech lol..Can't wait for the next round and see some of you all again..

Hey cbhausen! What is worse? Root canal, or sitting through the antis??

It was good seeing you again Bollorollo.

Like I said, that was a long day. When the video is posted I'll drop time points from the notes I took today.

HB 1077 passed out of committee. We won the first battle in a long war.

NRA-ILA Call to Action for HB 1077 is out.

https://nrahq.quorum.us/campaign/37106/

This is a request to your Representative to support the bill in the full house. I added the word 'again' in the first sentence of the email since I had requested his support last week.

 

[KellyinAvon]

Bollorollo and KellyinAvon at the Statehouse!

That would be much appreciated. I wasn't able to see it earlier.

OK just one more thing (yeah I'm kinda hyped up.) Charlie Hiltunen the "Director Shotgun" of the Indiana State Rifle and Pistol Association (ISRPA) testified maybe third to the last. This was his testimony:

I'm Charlie Hiltunen from the ISRPA. We wholeheartedly support this bill! PEACE OUT!!

OK I added "peace out", but that was it.

Last year I found myself in a restaurant at the same time that Sheila Klinker was having lunch.
Without a word to her, I called the waitress over and told her that I would pay for Mrs. Klinker's bill.

I actually told the waitress not to mention who it was, but she did anyway and Mrs. Klinker came straight to my table upon learning about what I had done.

She was appreciative, but confused.
Said she had never had a constituent buy her lunch.

The look on her face when I told her I had never voted for her was worth a million.
I told her I did it because I knew that she supports the 2nd amendment, and that was the only reason.

Two days ago, when I saw HB1077 was on the floor, I emailed Mrs. Klinker to ask her to support this bill and reminded her of the conservative who bought her lunch.

We'll see...

HOT OFF THE PRESS!! Jim Lucas introduced HB 1114, Self Defense. Synopsis looks like SB 143, also 6 pages long. Referred to the courts and the criminal code committee in the house.

It seems like somewhere up thread is a draft email supporting Senate Bill 143. Rename, find replace, save, I like having the same bills in both Houses. Makes my life much easier!

I did give Jim's self defense bill a look finally. Only difference I saw between SB 143 and HB 1114 was HB 1114 adds "fixed place of business" to the locations under Castle Doctrine.
