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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
