Today marks another 2A victory, the Indiana House has voted to eliminate the handgun carry license in a move that will bolster the 2nd Amendment.
If this bill makes it all the way through past the governor’s desk this would mean residents of the state would not have to get a license to carry a handgun in the state.
From Fox News:
House Bill 1369, which passed the House by a 65-31 vote and now heads to the Senate, repeals a law that requires a person to obtain a license to carry a handgun in Indiana, according to the Indianapolis Star
It allows for any person who is lawfully able to carry and possess a firearm to do so without a government-issued permit or license, reports said. The bill specified that certain offenders still could be prohibited from carrying handguns.
Supporters of the bill argue that the permit process punishes law-abiding citizens and residents shouldn’t have to pay for a right guaranteed by the Second Amendment.
“Anything that can make things easier for somebody who is a law abiding citizen is always something that I think I’m going to try to support,” said Indianapolis gun owner Eric Housman, according to FOX 59 of Indianapolis.
Gun rights are expanding across the country as local efforts make it though. This is the future of pro-2A legislation, the state and local level are where things are getting done.
