Dammit. Why does everyone have to use facebook. I really don't want to start using it actively.
My great grandma said the same thing about telephones back in 1895.

Added my one star review.
Do politicians not realize how tone-deaf this sort of thing sounds?
My email to Sheriff Myers:
Two questions regarding the ISA statement about proposed "Constitutional Carry" legislation.
1) The statement you shared seems to have been removed from your Facebook wall. If your page is intended to share information, why the removal of the statement?
2) The ISA has taken the position against 'Constitutional carry' on the basis that it will negatively impact investigations. Before coming to this conclusion, did the ISA seek out any information from any law enforcement agencies of the 13 states that have similar laws? Given that it's a trend that's spreading nationwide, the ISA's concerns seem a bit overstated.
Their response:
Thank you for contacting Sheriff Myers regarding proposed HB 1159. Sheriff Myers does not support this proposed legislation.
My final response:That response is remarkable in both its lack of actual answers to the questions posed and stunning in tone deafness. Kudos, that's the sort of quality condescension you don't often see from your elected officials.
►If carrying handguns without a license negatively impacts investigations, what issues have Sheriff had with Hoosiers carrying blackpowder handguns or handguns manufactured before January 1, 1899 which do not require licenses?
►If carrying handguns without a license negatively impacts investigations, what issues have Sheriffs had with Hoosiers carrying long guns which do not require a license?
►If carrying handguns without a license negatively impacts investigations, what issues have Conservation Officers from the IDNR had in investigation game law violations of individuals carrying long guns which do not need a license to be carried? How about IDNR and handguns, any problems with unlicensed individuals with handguns carried to hunt deer?
Does anyone have the list of the six who didn't sign it? That's easier than the ones who did.

I just spent 15 minutes on the phone with my county Sheriff (Brett Clark, Hendricks). I will update this post after work. BTW, he opposes HB 1159 and regardless of the results of any summer study will not support Constitutional Carry in Indiana (ever, from what I gathered).
So his reply was "My mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts." I believe 2018 is an election year and my memory doesn't need to be good, I have the Internet.I just spent 15 minutes on the phone with my county Sheriff (Brett Clark, Hendricks).
