A bill that would relax Indiana’s concealed carry guns laws will go to a summer study committee.
The Indiana House and Senate voted Friday to study whether a person who has a civil protection order, which stems from domestic violence, should be allowed to temporarily obtain a gun without a permit.
The same committee would also study the issue of constitutional carry, which calls for abolishing requirements that a person carrying a concealed gun have a permit.
The committee will run studies on what might happen if carrying a gun becomes license-free for a period of time. Also, the committee is instructed to identify people that should be restricted from obtaining a gun and compile data on handgun usage in Indiana. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
