Slight update on the draft: direct all fire at Speaker Bray and your Senator. CLEARED HOT!!

Senator,

I am writing to urge your support of HB 1077, Firearms Matters. This bill was authored by Representative Smaltz and co-authored by Representatives Lehman, Lucas, Snow, Carbaugh, Lindauer, Engleman, Gutwein, Wesco, Teshka, May, Behning, Heaton, Frye, Mayfield, Hostettler, Jeter, Judy, Abbott, Lauer, Barrett, Leonard, Cook, Davis, Ledbetter, VanNatter, Heine, Manning, Davisson, Payne, and Borders. HB 1077 is sponsored by Senators Koch, Tomes, Houchin, and Messmer.

After what happened in the Senate Judiciary Committee with the Senate Bill 14 (Firearms Matters) hearing, HB 1077 (a bill which overwhelmingly passed the House) must be assigned to the Corrections and Criminal Law Committee in order to receive a fair hearing.

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 are currently 21 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. This is further proved by the fact that no State which has repealed its handgun licensing scheme, has re-instated it because it drove an increase in criminal activity. Put simply: the law-abiding don’t commit crimes. Criminals commit crimes and are undeterred by licensing schemes.

HB 1077 does not change the definition of “proper person” that currently exists, nor does it make it lawful to possess a firearm when an individual is currently a prohibited possessor.

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”, and “Church Carry” (2019). Again, the dire consequences predicted by those who oppose any law that supports the Right to Keep and Bear Arms simply did not happen.

Of the 21 States with Constitutional Carry of handguns, 20 previously had handgun licensing requirements. Zero States have reinstated the licensing requirement.

I’m sure I can count on your support with this vital legislation.

Thank you,

Tuesday bump! D+1 until bills passed out of the House start getting assigned to Senate committees.

In the title: "Assign to the Corrections and Criminal Law Committee". Bloomberg just as well be the committee chair if it goes to Senate Judiciary.

I wonder if I can get a discount on e-mailing my legicritters on volume?

Finally! KellyinAvon, what is your gut feeling on SB143, do you expect it to be stonewalled by the Gov. or be passed with ease?

If it gets a hearing it'll pass. Waiting to see what committee, if it's Courts and Criminal Code... that's the one a similar bill died in last year. It'll be CLEARED HOT as soon as it's assigned to committee.

You are quicker than me today goldtrigger! Just got done looking at that myself. Conspiracy theory and rant coming later. Have to wait for my Tourette's to settle down a bit.

Edit: six bills had first reading/referred to committee on 7 February (that would be Monday.) Threee were referred to the Senate 28 January, two on 1 February. HB 1077 was referred to the Senate... ON THE ******* 12TH OF JANUARY!!

More to follow...

OK INGO, I'm annoyed, I'm pissed the **** off, and I'm not stopping.

Here's the phone number: 1-800-382-9467

Be polite, be professional, ask to leave a message for Senator Brown, give HB 1077 a hearing and a vote in committee.

Here's the email: Senator.Brown@iga.in.gov

Here's a (slightly) updated draft email:

Senator Brown,

Give HB 1077, Firearms Matters a hearing, and call it for a vote in your committee.

This bill was authored by Representative Smaltz and co-authored by Representatives Lehman, Lucas, Snow, Carbaugh, Lindauer, Engleman, Gutwein, Wesco, Teshka, May, Behning, Heaton, Frye, Mayfield, Hostettler, Jeter, Judy, Abbott, Lauer, Barrett, Leonard, Cook, Davis, Ledbetter, VanNatter, Heine, Manning, Davisson, Payne, and Borders.

HB 1077 codifies the lawful carry of handguns, and comes at a time when the essential right of self-defense has never been more important. This bill affects the law-abiding citizens of Indiana, not the violent criminals who are overwhelmingly prohibited possessors of firearms, and don’t obey the law.

Bump!! There is no session today/Friday. I'll call the 1-800-382-9467 number later and see if the staff is there to take messages.

Email works 24/7, but if we can fill inboxes and cover Senator Brown's desk with pro-2A phone messages supporting HB 1077 (polite and professional messages of course. It's ok to say ****, ****, ****, ****, and *****, just not on the phone message or in the email) we can hopefully get some attention.
