Several police organizations are arguing against a proposal that would have Indiana join a dozen other states that don't require a license to carry a handgun in public.
A legislative committee met Tuesday to begin reviewing the proposal that has failed the last two years in the Republican-dominated Legislature but could become a contentious topic during next year's session.
Law enforcement officials told the panel that they supported the current law, under which Indiana State Police check people who want to legally carry a gun. |

Who cares WHAT they think?
Their argument is devoid of any logical substantiation. The claim that requiring permits keeps criminals and loonies from carrying, which they are ALREADY doing with the permit law in place, is demonstrably false.
Since it would be foolish to assume that they are THAT stupid, one must then move on to the next consideration of their motivation.
Maintenance of their power. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
