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.”

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
