However, the majority of committee members were resistant to law enforcement testimony, on the grounds that the permitting requirement is an infringement of their Second Amendment rights.
Currently in Indiana, handgun carry permits are denied to people who have a propensity for violent or emotionally unstable conduct, people who have been convicted of certain weapons offenses and people who have records of abusing alcohol or drugs.
Also, along with the vast majority of other states, Indiana requires a criminal background check before a person can get a permit and carry a concealed handgun. Permitless carry would remove all these safeguards and decrease law enforcement’s ability to keep us safe. |

| Someone should tell these people that if you can't pass a background check to buy a firearm, you can't carry a firearm, and you get put in jail if caught with one!!!!!!!! |

SAFEGUARD???
WHAT safeguard?
The dirtballs and loonies carry anyway, so permits do nothing but meddle with peaceable non-criminal citizens in the exercise of their natural rights.
If poll taxes and literacy tests are unconstitutional, so are permits and training requirements. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
