Indiana: Senate Version of Lawful Carry Bill in Committee

[Charlie T Waite]

Senate Bill 14, a lawful carry bill similar to the NRA-backed House Bill 1077 awaiting a Senate committee assignment, is currently before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The committee will likely consider amendments and may bring it up for a vote.

Senate Bill 14 allows any law-abiding adult who is at least 21 years old and 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.
