Hunting In Indiana With A Suppressor/Silencer

[ctbreitwieser]

This was on AGS's Facebook page:

Just wrapped up at the Indiana State House, and am pleased to share with you that S.B. 0243 for the legalization of using suppressors while hunting has passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. We appreciate Down By The Tracks Guns, Front Toward Enemy Firearms, SSNFA, and Jason for joining us and showing their support in getting this bill passed into law.

Hopefully it gets through the House and Senate now and then into the hands of Mitch Daniels

We even convinced some Democrats there too! Was nice to see a NRA rep there as well!

Great work! Thank you to all you guys who helped make this happen.

Could someone please point me in the right direction as to how I can get ahold of someone to help get them to vote this through?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd SWEAR I read somewhere that Indiana DNR were going to o.k. suppressors for hunting if passed by state legislators, but they were NOT going to allow suppressors for hunting whitetail or turkey.

Read SB243.

And you believe those guys?

Is this supposed to be purple? Why wouldn't I believe them?

Email them all

Who exactly do I have to email? I've never done this before but I really want to start doing what I can to help out.

Yes it is, my internet manners are not up to speed.

Check this, it is going to the Senate floor..

NRA-ILA :: Indiana: NRA-Backed Pro-Hunting Legislation Passes Committee and Goes to the Senate Floor!

 

[ctbreitwieser]

What exactly should I say (how to word it) when I email our senators to help make this law? I've never emailed anyone for something like this.

 

[ctbreitwieser]

Hows this sound? <pun intended>

"I would like you to vote yes on SB243 so Hoosiers can begin taking advantage of the benefits of using a sound suppressor while hunting. I know many Hoosiers will be grateful for your concern in potential hearing loss suffered from the unsuppressed report of firearms while hunting. Thank you for your vote."

That looks fine!

Phone calls and snail mail would help a lot too

Those are kind of hard for me to do. Im currently stuck in Hawaii for 8 more months so mail would probably be to late and my time difference is 5 hours. So if I start calling now I have about 4-5ish hours to call them all?

I bet snail mail wouldn't only take a week or so. and You could at least call the ones that represent you directly. Emails are good too, I was just suggesting to print one or two and mail to your direct reps.

for taking the time to send emails though

Well got that done. The Dems sure do make it a lot harder than the Reps for mass emailing. Overall it was pretty easy to do using the link posted above. If you haven't done it yet, I recommend it.
