Indiana Firearm Law Updates
Following up on getting the “guns in your car” bill through to the governor there are 2 on The Indiana Law Blog (worth a bookmark btw). The first ran on March 6th and a follow up on March 8th following a work place shooting up in Portage Indiana which opponents are attempting to use to dissuade Governor Mitch from signing the law after it passed with considerable bipartisan support in both Indiana houses.
On these I have two points as the Indiana Law Blog tends to report only and not persuade or dissuade on the issues.
First, the shooting in Portage is an example of the exact opposite of what the opponents are pushing. The gun in your car bill is not law yet and workforce development offices are posted no firearms. Yet this person brought a firearm into the offices….
Second, this issue has the potential of determining Governor Mitch’s “creds” in the Hoosier shooting community. Fail this one and any aspirations of higher office (*cough* *cough* *president* ) may prove to be very short lived.
