Subject: A nasty gun bill
*** Rep. Bill Crawford (D) District 98 has introduced HB 1260.* This is a nasty bill.
*
*** It is the same bill that was passed and signed into law in California last year by Gov. Schwarzenegger.
*
*** It requires all ammunition manufacturers to encode all ammo that can be fired*in handguns and assault weapons.
*
Encoded ammunition. Requires ammunition manufacturers to encode all ammunition: (1) provided for retail sale in Indiana; and (2) used in handguns and assault weapons; by July 1, 2009. Prohibits a person from selling ammunition at retail after June 30, 2009, unless the ammunition has been encoded by a manufacturer. Requires the superintendent of the state police department to establish and maintain an encoded ammunition data base before July 1, 2009. Requires ammunition manufacturers and persons who sell ammunition at retail to provide certain information concerning encoded ammunition sales and persons who purchase encoded ammunition to the superintendent for inclusion in the data base. Imposes a fee of $0.05 per round on the sale of encoded ammunition that is sold at retail. Requires the fees to be deposited in the encoded ammunition data base fund to operate the data base. Requires a person who owns ammunition for a handgun or assault weapon that is not encoded ammunition to dispose of the ammunition before July 1, 2011. Makes an appropriation.
*** This bill is in the Public Policy Committee chaired by Rep. Trent VanHaaften.
*** I recommend everyone call both of these Reps. to oppose this bill.* You can call toll free 1-800-382-9842 and have your call patched into each of their offices.* Be sure to leave your name and be firm, but polite in your statement.
*** You can call direct at 317-232-9600.

Subject: One down and one up
*** For all of us out there who have*friends who own guns but will not do anything to make a stand to protect their rights, run this past them.
*
*** Indiana State Rep. VanHaaften, who is the Chairman*of the committee that HB 1206 is in (requiring ammunition manufacturers to encode primers on pistol and rifle ammo sold in Indiana)*has responded by writing he will not give HB 1206 a hearing.
*
*** That happened because of all of you who called*or wrote to him with your demands.*
*
*** This is the way it works.* That*was the result of a group of dedicated American citizens in Indiana making something happen.* Can you imagine what we could accomplish if we could get all*300,000 handgun licensed holders to pony up?
*
*** This morning*we got a call from Jim Wisco, Sen. Nugent's*Legislative Assistant, asking if we can drive up to the State House this coming Tuesday to testify on behalf of SB 356.* This is the bill that will allow carry on*all state owned or leased property such as colleges and universities.
*
*** Margie and I are planning to be there.**There will be about 25 bills being heard in that committee that morning and it's Chaired by Sen. Steele.* I'm hoping to find out what time that bill might be brought up, if possible.
*
*** That's about a three and a half hour drive for us and they're an hour ahead, too.* The committee is scheduled to start at 8:30 AM Indy time.
*
*** Remember our next Patriot meeting will be Saturday the 26th.* As always it will be at 6:00 PM at the German Township Fire Station.
*
*** Fellow Patriot Jason Thorpe is going to have a message he wants to present and he tells me it's going to be powerful.* You won't want to miss this.

January 2008? I thought it was 2009 ...

I thought this encoding bill was shot down long ago. As for the carry on state owned universities, hope that goes well, but the email is also dated for '08.
