A proposal that would repeal Indiana's gun permit law — which has failed in the last two legislative sessions — has made an unwelcome return. Last week, a legislative committee began reviewing the proposal that would have Indiana join a dozen other states that don't require a license to carry a handgun in public — the so-called "constitutional carry." State Rep. Jim Lucas, R-Seymour, wants to repeal the gun permit law, arguing that law-abiding citizens shouldn't have to get state permission to carry out their Second Amendment rights. |

Yes, repeal it, and urge all the other states to repeal theirs as well.
What's WRONG with you? The federal Constitution's mandate of "shall not be infringed" is now binding on every state in the union, and no fundamental right can be preconditioned upon proving one is "worthy" of its exercise.
I thought we already went through this with the poll tax and literacy test nonsense for voting. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
