Indiana: Right-To-Carry Bill Advances

[Charlie T Waite]

The House Public Policy Committee has approved House Bill 1369, to improve the ability of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves and their loved ones. It may now go to the Ways and Means Committee before going on to the full House for further consideration. Please ask your state representative to SUPPORT this critical bill that improves self-defense in Indiana.

House Bill 1369 allows any law-abiding adult who is legally eligible to obtain a carry permit, to carry a handgun without first having to obtain government permission. This ensures that citizens have their right to self-defense without government red tape or delays. It does not affect previously issued carry permits, and allows citizens who still wish to obtain a permit in order to carry in other states recognizing Indiana permits, to do so.

Again, please contact your state representative and ask them to support HB 1369.
