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 |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
