dnewton3 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 For those of you in Indiana, there are some pro-gun Bills entering the State Legislature. You might want to contact your State Congressmen and Women, and express your opinions. THESE ARE PROPOSED INDIANA STATE LAWS, NOT FEDERAL LAWS.HB 1065 – prohibits State and/or local governmental confiscation of firearms in times of declared disaster (such as what happened in Louisianna after Katrina)HB 1068 – prohibits public access to personal information in gun permits, and prohibits the dissemination of such information publically. (the local newspaper in Bloomington is accessing personal information such as your name, address, etc that is used in gun permit applications, and publically printing the information)SB 25 – prohibits the firing/discipline of employees who otherwise legally own and want to possess firearms in the parking lots of their places of employment. (This is a benefit to anyone who hunts before or after work, or simply wants to excercise his/her right to carry to and from work, but cannot possess in the "parking lot" without fear of retribution).I'm not sure we should start a debate on the merrits of such topics here on this site. I am merely posting this up so that Indiana residents can be aware of the pending legislation, and contant their Congressmen to express their opinions.

Daniels, and will be effective 7-1-2010!The "new" portions of the law are in bold, as defined by the Indiana Code.http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2010/HB/HB1065.1.htmlhttp://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2010/HB/HB1068.2.htmlIndiana may not be the center for world entertainment but, by gosh, we take our liberty seriously here!
