My guess is Nisly coordinated with NAGR and this was a publicity stunt to fundraise and try to block the bill. When constitutional carry happens many national groups will lose their relevance, and $$$
I know Curt, he was probably talking with the Hoosier Carry guy Michael Thomas who spoke at the last Northern IN Concerned Citizens meeting. He probably thought he was doing the right thing and given the politics of his district they probably thought so too. He's pretty new to the assembly so his willingness to do things not exactly by the Marcus of Queensbury rules and make a fuss hasn't been broken yet, also he spends a lot of time talking with his districts conservative activists (not me, not my district) and stepping forward with their recommendations. He should have coordinated with Lucas though, that's just being polite.
