SPREAD THE WORD
GREAT NEWS!
2 of my Gun Rights Restoration bills have received bill numbers:
HB1055 - Carry on state property
HB1056 - Constitutional Carry
If these scenarios were to take place, do you think our puny pink cards will stop them from taking away our right to carry?...
I'd like to have someone show proof that Indiana would not be affected by a constitutional change. I'm sceptical of giving over control.
The Indiana State Constitution would still protect the RKBA from the state government. If the feds get out of line and/or repeal the 2A, state licensure or constitutional carry would be irrelevant one way or the other.
It would depend on the language of the replacement language. It's not so far fetched they could word it so that all existing state amendments are null and void.
If so, pink cards or not would be completely irrelevant. I am not sure, however, that it would pass legal muster to argue that the repeal of an amendment to the US Constitution can be used to nullify any part of a State Constitution so far as it controls the behavior of state personnel. Of course, that brings us around to the point where we have to consider when following the Constitution, US or state, has been a real issue to these domestic enemies in decades.
At the end of the day, passing constitutional carry cannot adversely affect us regardless of what may happen since, once again, if there is a power grab, it isn't like they are going to respect our rights any more or less one way or the other.
Meh, the Constitution did not give me my Rights. De-listing one from the enumeration would not take them away.
I'd like to have someone show proof that Indiana would not be affected by a constitutional change. I'm sceptical of giving over control.
It's not a stretch at all to consider that if we don't get immigration under control, we will be outnumbered in the near future. The first thing they'll do when they have the numbers is take away our means of fighting off the tyrannical government.
But what does that have anything to do with Indiana repealing the statutory language that criminalizes the carry of handguns?
If constitutional carry is adopted here, where does Indiana fall if the 2nd Amendment is changed or repealed on the federal level?
Maybe nothing? Why would it be termed "Constitutional Carry" if it wasn't tied to the constitution?
Perhaps it has been mentioned already but I'd really like to see a 3-level system in place here in Indiana:
1) Constitutional Carry for anyone who is a "proper person" in the State, resident or not.
2) LTCH as it currently exists for those who travel out-of-state to States where it is recognized.
3) A "premium" LTCH that has an appropriate training requirement that would meet of the standards for those States that won't recognize IN LTCH because it lacks a training requirement.
It seems to me that this would let each of us choose the option that best fits our circumstances. While I am 100% for Constitutional Carry, it's clear that Indiana gun owners have little or no clout in other States who are less enlightened.
just saw this. Scooped me.From our friend, Jim Lucas' Facebook page. The following have been filed and assigned bill numbers.
He says a couple more of his are still in the works. Start contacting your state house critters.
