2023 Legislative Session Thread

Friday bump! Again the folks who take these messages are incredibly nice. Be sure and return the favor when you leave Senators Raatz (Chairman) and Crane (Ranking member) a message to schedule HB 1177 for a hearing.

I think my record on the 2A is clear. My ”body of work” here should be clear enough and I am writing this disclaimer ahead of this: when we “arm the teachers”, we’ll have to be comfortable knowing we’ll be giving the trans-weirdos and pedophile and commie-BLM/ANTIFA teachers permission also carry guns along with the other weapons at their disposal for ruining our children.

Like the teacher that is the subject of this twitter post.



I shudder.

We’re fighting on many fronts in the same theater.

We conservatives tend to fight the “last war”. I don’t think I have to say it but I will—I’m all for any lawful citizen arming up, even the weirdos and communists. Hopefully the BLM/trans-activists/pedo-groomers in our schools will not be the kind we see on the news. It is important to realize the people we think we are arming are not necessarily the people that were teaching school when most of us we’re going to school.

After Nashville, I am down to simply begging Senator Raatz to bring HB 1177 to a committee hearing and move it to a floor vote.

At least the nice lady at the Senate call center seemed to understand my position and was will to add a reference to the Nashville atrocity to the message.

I think we should just leave it as they can carry if they want to if its concealed without the school boards approval along with parents The giving them special training and such just helps elevate them above rest of us. Next thing you'll know they'll want extra pay if they go through the training and carry.

HB 1177 (handgun training for teachers, authored by Jim Lucas) hasn't been scheduled for a hearing in the Senate. It passed the House overwhelmingly 71-24 and is now going nowhere. Similar bills have passed the House in the past only to not get a vote in the Senate. In (IIRC) 2019 Coach and I testified in support of a similar bill.

I haven't been beating the drum on this one since I know some of you don't agree with it (I was in high school long before the Gun Free School Zones Act of 1990, I get it.)

If so inclined, give the number below a call. Leave a message for Senator Raatz (Chair of the Education and Career Development Committee) and tell him to give HB 1177 a hearing.

The Kool AId guy said that too.

Just came to me: this committee has updated the hearing schedule on the Monday afternoon prior to the hearing on Wednesday afternoon. This one updated a lot earlier on Friday.

Look for the mad moms and every other bunch of antis to be filling the room on Wednesday.

SB 77, Senate is going to do a Motion to Concur, which is basically a Rubber Stamp on what the house did to the bill.. I suspect it will be on the Govenors desk soon.

The Throwing Stars repeal has been sorta my thing over the last few years, Ive sent a few emails late in December over the years to various Indiana Reps reminding them how stupid this law really is.

Guess now someone will need to take on the Ballistic Knife thing now.

I'm calling today to thank Senatar Raatz for scheduling 1177 for a hearing. Should be interesting tomorrow to say the least.

Wow.. I found this in the Fiscal Note on the SB77 bill (Throwing Stars)

https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2023/bills/senate/77#document-1098706d

Since CY 2015, there have been only 10 charges filed for manufacturing, importing, selling, or possessing a “Chinese throwing star”.

So.. a little more then one charge a year...

How bad must one screw up to actually get arrested for a "chinese throwing star" ?
I'm really curious how Eric-the great-Holcomb will handle this. Does he sign? Ignore it, let it become law but always be able to claim he wasn't for it (when it fits the audience) or claim he was for it (when it fits the audience)? Veto and actually state why he disagrees with it? I guess the first step is to actually get it passed and on his desk for signature.

From what I understand, its believed the few times it’s been charged, are situations where they were detained for something else. Like your busted for drugs, and ohh look throwing stars, we’ll charge them for that too. So called throwing the book at someone. Of those 10 I am willing to wager few to none were busted just throwing stars. The bad guy is usually doing other bad things, and the cops find throwing stars too.

I don’t think it will be a big deal getting it signed. The law is at best considered a joke, and often seen in those clickbait lists of strange things that are against the law.

Hoosiers may get to add throwing stars to their self-defense arsenals

A plan to partially rescind Indiana's throwing star ban was revised to authorize Hoosiers to carry throwing stars anywhere knives and similar bladed weapons are permitted.
