I hope it gets repealed. Shouldn't need a license to exercise a right.
That sounds like an opinion. I hope you have your license to free speech on you, expressing your first amendment in the public and all. Sheesh!
While I do support this going through I'm also curious what that means for us Hoosiers who may want to travel out of state. If this passes what happens to all the states we can carry in with our LTCH? Do those with our LTCH still get the same benefits of going outside Indiana or what?
That's what I'm talking about. I work in KY and their reciprocity with my IN LTCH allows me to carry in their state. They don't issue licenses to non-residents and I might be wrong but I don't think they honor non-resident licenses/permits. So i'm not sure that getting some other state's license, like Utah or Florida, would allow me to carry there.
ironic how my state upholding a right takes that right from me in other states. I think they should add to the law that IN will continue to issue LTCH to people who need it for other state's reciprocity.
They recognize Indiana's LTCH, why would they not reocgnize other states licenses?

Wouldn't this also be a bad thing, in a way? Wouldn't we lose a lot of reciprocity with other states if we no longer required a license?
Also, if this did happen and licenses were done away with... wouldn't it then be much easier for the next democrat in power to re-introduce licensing in Indiana... but omit lifetime options or training requirements?
I support Constitutional carry, but my take on it is that the permit won't go away, just the lifetime time frame. It'll likely go back to 4 year renewal. THAT is something I am against. If I can't have Constitutional carry, lifetime permit is the next best thing.
I'm definitely FOR constitutional carry.
The ONLY downside I see from doing away with the License to Carry is when carrying in other states.
Will they still recognize reciprocity in as many states, being that no background check would be required to carry in Indiana?
#2 is important... because once we lose the LTCH... how often do experimental laws get reverted back to what they were before? Indiana isn't a hard-red state. It's volatile.
slow down LOLImagine this "constitutional carry" getting revoked in the future. Where are we now? Is everyone now breaking the law? It's not like they can say "Oh, we're back to exactly where we were years ago with the LTCH"... no. Everyone re-apply for a license? Or what is it now? A permit? Maybe now it's a CCW, and no open-carry is allowed. Maybe now it costs more. That money you paid before for the LTCH? Doesn't count... we don't have an LTCH anymore.
Hell, this is easy. Now that we don't have an LTCH... I'll just revoke this constitutional carry bill and now guns are banned in Indiana!
Constitutional carry is where we need to go. Hopefully the nonresident permit issues will be covered in the same bill, but constitutional carry is such an important concept that it should be strongly encouraged.
Does constitutional carry within Indiana state lines outweigh the complete loss of the right to carry outside of Indiana state lines (except in the half-dozen other constitutional carry states)?
Please think that one through.
I don't have control of what other states do. We actually have some influence in our own state.
That isn't to say we can't push for a provision for allowing current (and future) licenses akin to what Arizona has. But I sure wouldn't kill "constitutional carry" .
