What is the purpose of the training this new law would require? To bring us into "compliance" with what other states want? Who cares what other states want. California and Illinois would love for Indiana to not allow carry at all, are we going to change our laws to comply with their wishes? If you want to carry in Ohio, fine, but don't force me to jump through additional hoops, and waste more time and money for something you wish to do. There is a mechanism in place for you to carry in Ohio (or other states) it's up to the individual to use it.
Is this training intended to prevent/reduce "incidents" involving licensed carries? If so, I would challenge the author, or any supporter, to provide evidence of the "incidents" they are trying to reduce. The best place to look would probably the ISP to see how many licenses have been suspended or revoked after the hearing. I bet most of them are for acts that "training" would have not have made one iota of difference.
All the talk about Heller and the 2A is interesting, but why go that far? Article 1, Section 32 of the Indiana Constitution:

"The people shall have a right to bear arms, for the defense of themselves and the State."
Article 12, Section 1: A militia shall be provided and shall consist of all persons over the age of seventeen (17) years, except those persons who may be exempted by the laws of the United States or of this state. The militia may be divided into active and inactive classes and consist of such military organizations as may be provided by law.
