The gun-slinging lawman, a relic of 19th century Wild West saloon card rooms, soon might be spotted slamming drinks, gun on his or her hip, trying to win money in 21st century Indiana casinos. The Indiana Senate voted 40-9 Tuesday to direct the Indiana Gaming Commission to adopt rules authorizing off-duty law enforcement officers to carry a handgun, either openly or concealed, while visiting a casino, horse track or any other gaming property.

This is a "DUH!" bill.
And it doesn't go far enough; it should include permitted 'civilians', too, although I think an open carry restriction might be prudent, for both.
'Never know when a drunk teed off to the max about losing dinero might flip and try to snatch a piece out of one's holster. |

TO REMEMBER |
| You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among other reasons, people despise you....There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the other, making cooperation impossible. — Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince." |
