A proposal that would repeal Indiana's gun permit law — which has failed in the last two legislative sessions — has made an unwelcome return. Last week, a legislative committee began reviewing the proposal that would have Indiana join a dozen other states that don't require a license to carry a handgun in public — the so-called "constitutional carry." State Rep. Jim Lucas, R-Seymour, wants to repeal the gun permit law, arguing that law-abiding citizens shouldn't have to get state permission to carry out their Second Amendment rights. |

Yes, repeal it, and urge all the other states to repeal theirs as well.
What's WRONG with you? The federal Constitution's mandate of "shall not be infringed" is now binding on every state in the union, and no fundamental right can be preconditioned upon proving one is "worthy" of its exercise.
I thought we already went through this with the poll tax and literacy test nonsense for voting. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
[The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
