NEW GUN LAW GETTING A VOTE

[Johwar]

I just want to comment on this new law letting individuals 18 and over being allowed to carry a gun .I think kids will buy guns and carry them , and a whole bunch of kids getting shot.They are going to carry them for flashing them to their friends and you are going to get a bunch of accidental shootings and deaths.The ANTI-GUN group is going to have a FIELD DAY with this.Gives them a I told you so moment , and the PRESS will have a FIELD DAY too. And this with a NO LICENSE REQUIRED and NO TRAINING , I think this might be the end for anybody to carry , BRADY GROUP is probably SMILING as I am writing this.Their thoughts are give them what they want and watch them run themselfs in the ground , but the sad fact is KIDS are going to die I believe.This is what I think is going to happen. I pray it doesnt but I am concerned.JUST MY THOUGHTS

In all of the other states that have passed Constitutional Carry, nothing you say will happen has happened. Are Hoosiers more dangerous?

Is a 19 year old less entitled to their rights than a 30 year old? While I did not have my carry permit when I was 18 (didn't live in IN at the time), I have handled firearms since I was old enough to remember. I have carried them in the woods. Isn't carrying them in the woods more difficult than walking down the street with a half way decent holster? Sorry, the OP's thought process just kind of ticks me off. And as several have mentioned, constitutional carry has already been done in 21 other states (almost HALF of the union) without any real increase in issues.

Freedom isn't safe. Take responsibility for yourself, help others, but realize that freedom takes work.

You have to see this , kids are just immature and self-centered nowadays and they want to show off , and accidents happen.

I disagree I bought both my kids theirs on their 18th birthday they're very mature and responsible.

Reminds me of when my dad was getting old and feeble and my sister wanted to take his keys away. We all live in Indiana while he lived in Florida.

My brother responded, "Why? We don't know anyone down there..."

Some people see stuff happening on TV and think, "Wow, that could have been me."

Others will say, "Gee, I hope my situational awareness is better than that." Like that woman who was texting on her phone and walked into the active bank robbery and got shot 15 times for her trouble in Cincinnati. Folks, you can't fix stupid...

They are old enough to vote and die for this country, not kids once they are 18. I know 60 yo's that still act like kids, in both good and bad ways.

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

I pay more attention to how what values a young person is raised than his age. It’s the person, not the regulation. Many kids I know are more responsible than many adults I know. Gun handling included.

Why stop with the 2nd amendment and make a age restriction on all our rights?

Rights don't stop where fear begins. imo every right such as voting, drinking (21st amendment), firearms (2nd obviously), etc should all start when you are 18. That's when you begin to pay taxes, why should you not be able to use the rest of your rights if you are already paying taxes.
