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 |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
