If you're going with Peet's, try Major Dickason's blend decaf. It's one of the few decaf coffees that has enough body for me to be able to drink
Dropping in to say I tried this on suggestion. Good stuff.

Glad you liked it! Peet's makes some excellent coffee.
I finally got a reply!! I liked the "Similar legislation was introduced during the 2016 legislative session but failed to make it out of committee." I know that, this is why I keep e-mailing.
Dear KellyinAvon,
Thank you for contacting Speaker Bosma and expressing your opinion regarding proposed legislation which would repeal the law that requires a license to carry handgun in Indiana. Speaker Bosma appreciates you sharing your thoughts on this legislation and has requested that I respond to you on his behalf. Similar legislation was introduced during the 2016 legislative session but failed to make it out of committee. This topic undoubtedly stimulates a thought-provoking policy issue for future General Assemblies. Constituents voicing their opinions on issues and making suggestions to legislators, as you have done, is a vital part of the legislative process.
The Speaker supports the Second Amendment for many reasons, most importantly maintaining Hoosiers’ freedoms and ability to protect themselves and their loved ones. It is essential that responsible, law-abiding citizens have the right to bear arms legally in our state, a right that is guaranteed by the United States Constitution. The decision on whether to support a repeal of the handgun license or not is one that should be made after much thought, research, and deliberation has taken place. Moving forward, should the Indiana General Assembly address this policy issue, the Speaker will keep your support in mind.
Once again, thank you for voicing your opinion. Please feel free to contact Speaker Bosma with any questions, comments, or concerns you may have in the future. Constituent contact is essential to the legislative process, and Speaker Bosma truly appreciates the citizens of Indiana taking the time to share their thoughts about the issues concerning our state.
Sincerely,
Chris Kulik

They must all use the same form letter template. Is this a class political science majors have to take or something?
Roger that, only I was thinking Public Affairs major.
"Dear Speaker Bosma:

Next month we start callling. Write him. Make him feel the heat so he sees the light.
Yankee Prepper - Yankee's Store...Brings up a question. Why are all the good coffee companies progressive nutbags? You won't find a conservative state. California, Oregon, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Oregon, Washington, Virginia, and Washington D.C. If you ever find yourself in a peet's coffee shop, it's even better brewed by them. But I dare you to wear your "Make America Great Again" hat. They might shut the place down and run to their safe spaces.
so the only people this would help are those who do not have a carry permit already ? And I am assuming everybody on here already has one ? I fail to see why all the excitement .
Because our rights are being infringed upon by requiring us to have a permit/license, even if we do indeed have one. Constitutional carry would also kill the debate about if police officers should be able to stop an otherwise completely law abiding citizen just because they are carrying a gun, which is illegal without a license at this time. It would also do away with the very real possibility that you could go to jail if you forget your LTCH at home. The burden of proof is on you, and an anti cop could refuse to look your license up, in theory.
Further, it would allow people to carry who can't afford to go through the licensing process. Yes, $50-$120 is for many, too much to spare in hard times.
As a lifetime LTCH holder, I would be more than excited to hear that I no longer need it. Let's get this done Indiana!

LTCH would be required to carry out of state just as it is now. In-state would be Constitutional Carry.Anyone have any info if this actually passes, how does it work for reciprocity?
