Constitutional Carry signed by the Guv.

[indyjohn]

You mean like we used to be able to stop at the hardware store and buy a firearm and a rake? Or how we could mail-order virtually anything and have it delivered to our house? Like a Solothurn.

Nobody needs their own anti-tank rifle. That's just too dangerous.

Is the inverse also true? For example, would someone from Ohio still need a Ohio permit to carry in Indiana? I would assume yes but figured it was worth asking.

Nope. Constitutional Carry is "no permit" carry for any lawful person, regardless of residency. Only North Dakota's Constitutional Carry requires you to be a ND resident. All the other states with Constitutional Carry are for everyone. (Well, almost everyone. A few states require you to be a U.S. citizen. And while a few states allow it at 18, many require you to be 21.)

That's great, but let's get what we can now, while we are still young.

We should be able to stop at the hardware store and pick up a suppressor, on the way to the range. Without asking the king's permission or signing up for anything.

Belive me I understand the sentiment, of it taking too long; I'm likely a bit younger so time is less pressing to me in that regard.

However while we have the momentum, it is a better option to push to remove the entire thing. If the push is against the whole, it is easier to "compromise" the left on either FA, or SBR/SBS's, while still deregulating suppressors.

Ask big up front as it allows for "concessions" that may be needed in the process of getting it across the line.

In that same vein, push for withdrawl from the GCA, but with a more realistic goal of undermining the current admin and keeping home builds.

Does anyone know how this may effect reciprocity with other states who currently accept our LTCH?

This new law still leaves the option of getting a permit for this situation.
So even though a permit is optional, it still may be a good idea to get a Lifetime one anyway.

I was starting to think this would never go through, awesome job to all involved in this.

I am surprised as well. I thought he would choose the option of doing nothing & letting it pass on it's own by the end of the month.
Ok, so, I will give him some credit points. I go from hating him to just disliking him. How's that?

Also, dudes get to go in the little girls rooms and show them their wieners. Isn't that nice? What a wonderful world we live in. And, we are gonna start seeing a lot of world records in women's sports. lol There ya go, you want it, you get it. Awesome.

Soooo... how many people actually know if they're a proper person? Or how to determine if they are?
The only thing people will hear is, you can carry a gun without a license.

You don't become an improper person without knowing it.

Have you read some of the posts here on the forum? And you don't think this is running around the state of Indiana in masses?
There are several ways to become improper. There's at least one, that doesn't require being arrested.
So, yeah people could be improper, and committing a felony, because they "didn't" know.

Do share. Every circumstance outlined above comes with a veritable mountain of paperwork explaining that you are not a "proper person".

Sorry folks this is a dupe of many other threads already discussing this.
