Hundreds of legislative staffers can now carry handguns in the Indiana Statehouse and adjacent state office buildings – but the newfound freedom isn't without limitation. Lawmakers this year passed a law allowing those who work in the House, Senate, Legislative Services Agency and Lobby Registration Commission to bring guns to work if they have a valid Indiana permit. That covers more than 475 employees. “It's a constitutional right. I think everyone's right to protection should be recognized in the Statehouse,” said Rep. Jim Lucas, R-Seymour – one of the authors of Senate Enrolled Act 43. “Legislators aren't any different than the people. Our lives are no more important.”

Pitiful. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
