    Where's the bacon?
    Bottom line is this: We deserve constitutional carry in Indiana. We don`t need to ask permission from government in order to freely exercise a constitutionally protected right. With constitutional carry, those considered to be "prohibited persons" are STILL prohibited from carrying. And law enforcement having an issue with it is too bad. We don`t need permission from government and certainly not from law enforcement, to exercise our Second Amendment rights.
    With a long gun, you are correct. With a handgun, you are not.

    Now if you want to say what *should be*, that’s different, but as the law reads now, we do.


    ....Let it sink in that there is no requirement in Indiana to have a license to carry a long gun! Yet there are people who are prohibited from the possession of firearms. Where is this special “process” to determine who can possess a longun?Then why is one needed for handguns?
    The antis will point to our own fact: most crime does not happen with long guns, but with handguns. The thing is, most _people_ with handguns are not inclined to commit crimes with them.

    I’ve often thought that instead of having them find problems with this gun or that gun, have them define which guns they say are ok... not because it matters what they think, but because it would clearly show that there is no gun they would approve of, meaning their intent is to ban them all. As that contradicts the 2A unequivocally, a fair court would rule the challenge to the law out of order, dismiss it, and give us a precedent. The same would apply if they were ok with only this gun or that gun... the right of the people to keep and bear arms is not restricted to these 2 or 3 calibers, etc, so the laws limiting such, as well as limiting capacity, would also be declared unConstitutional.

    Given a fair Court, that is.

    Blessings,
    Bill

    When you find this fair court I want a chance to pet the unicorns they are riding on.

    It is true that would be said, yet they attack the ownership of rifles.

    So, they should then understand the debate logic that if permit-less carry has been in Indiana for long guns including what they call assault rifles, then extending permit-less carry to handguns will not cause mass chaos...

    It's just par for the course. The GCA of 1968 was initially drafted after JFK was assassinated with a rifle, and then passed after MLK was assassinated with a rifle, yet it singled out handguns for additional regulation
