Notice that this gent is on the outside, looking in. All he knows is Holcomb's statement, which (to anyone not following,) make Holcomb the champion of the 2A.

Info on this pleasePLUS, improper persons who wouldn't be able to get a permit are STILL prohibited from carrying.
Just going by the news story in the Indy Star.Info on this please
OK thanks for the update. Simply put, none legal firearm possession=no right to carry. If in the case a felon was caught carrying, would they still be charged w/both illegal possession and carrying illegally or just one of the two?Just going by the news story in the Indy Star.
Gov. Holcomb signs bill eliminating permit requirement to carry handguns in Indiana
Indiana Gov. Holcomb signed HEA 1296, which eliminates the license requirement to carry a handgun in Indiana, despite opposition from state police head.www.indystar.com
"HEA 1296, which I've signed today, entrusts Hoosiers who can lawfully carry a handgun to responsibly do so within our state," Holcomb said in a statement. "It’s important to note that if a person is prohibited, under federal or state laws, from possessing a firearm before this law goes into effect, that person will still be prohibited. And if a prohibited person has a firearm, he or she can be prosecuted."
I heard July but I think JuneWhen does this take effect, at the signing?
Would be awesome to see Constitutional Carry across the US for residents and nonresidents of individual states. I'm glad I still have my permit though so I can carry in the states that have reciprocity with Indiana. Suppressors would be a nice next step as well!We are not far from going over half of the country voting this in. That will be monumental, if it's not already.
So, now let's get to work on getting suppressors off of the NFA, at least in Indiana.

From the NRA website.When does this take effect, at the signing?
Jul 1. Constitutional carry the law in Indiana. Big thanks to those who worked so hard to get this done.
Well, well, well. I didn't hear any mention of it on the mainstream news today. Huh.
NRA-ILA | Indiana: Gov. Holcomb Signs Constitutional Carry
Today, Governor Eric Holcomb signed House Bill 1296, constitutional carry, into law.www.nraila.org
That's great, but let's get what we can now, while we are still young.
We should be able to stop at the hardware store and pick up a suppressor, on the way to the range. Without asking the king's permission or signing up for anything.

Glad to see Governor Holcomb had the common sense to see that a criminal who would shoot a Police Officer cares NOTHING about a carry permit.
PLUS, improper persons who wouldn't be able to get a permit are STILL prohibited from carrying.
In the news stories I've read the state police superintendent is quoted as saying “We will continue to encourage citizens to apply for, and maintain, a firearms permit. A permit will assist law enforcement officers and will also allow a permit holder reciprocity with other states”Does anyone know how this may effect reciprocity with other states who currently accept our LTCH?

The way I read it, I think the bill doesn't have any direct effect on reciprocity with other states; you can still apply for and receive a LTCH, and it will still be recognized by other states that currently recognize it. You just don't HAVE to have one to carry in Indiana (as of July 1, that is.)
