For Tbhausen

That’s what we wanted to see!

Remarkably objective for a Chicago news source… Carter’s quotes suck, but they’re what he said:

Indiana Drops Gun Permit Requirement: What it Means for Hoosiers

Indiana became the 24th constitutional carry state in the nation Monday as Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a law repealing the permit requirement to possess handguns.

I don't know about you guys, KellyInAvon might not know what to do now.

'They will come to know the lives they didn't save': States forge ahead with permitless carry legislation despite law enforcement opposition | CNN

Pro-gun legislation that would allow citizens to legally carry concealed guns in public without firearm training or a license is advancing in several states, as law enforcement officials and advocacy groups nationwide continue to raise the alarm about the policy's safety risks.

I'm... flabbergasted. I genuinely don't know how to respond to such stupidity from CNN.

The anti-gunners always predict blood in the streets.

I'll give credit where it's due. Thank you Eric Holcomb. I didn't think he'd do it. Maybe it was pure political calculation, but when rubber met road he did the right thing and signed it.

Still won’t vote for his sorry ass for trying to kill it before it got to him and also for vetoing the sports bill.

I hope he enjoys retirement from politics

Maybe he'll go shootin' with his wife??

So... just woke up to the good news! What are we all doing to celebrate on July 1?

 

[tbhausen]

Now, regarding HEA1041…

 

[AndreusMaximus]

Now, regarding HEA1041…

Yeah, Holcomb still needs to go. IMHO, this issue is an even bigger deal than CC.

I still want to party for the win that we did get, though, even if it's just a party on the deck of the Titanic

 

[Cavman]

Can't believe he signed cc. Can't believe he vetoed 1041. Its insane. To be fair I didn't do my part and call and tell him to sign 1041. I stupidly assumed he would. Definitely gonna call my senator and rep to have them override that veto

Very true. I think we need to simultaneously recognize that what he did was a good thing, and be happy for it, even commend him for it, while at the same time understanding that with all the surrounding circumstances we still can't trust his character as one fit to be our governor.

I think if I could say something to Holcomb it would be, "Good job. You made the right decision here, now make another right decision, and get the heck out of politics if/until you learn some consistent morals."

How many years did it take before CMP could sell the 1911s because of "BLOOD IN THE STREETS!!"?? Wrong again leftists/antis/et al!!

OK, INGO! Time for the early morning bump of the... just kidding!! WWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Ahhhh...if you want to commend him for this, you`re all good to do so. Me...I`ll be silently grateful that it got signed, but I won`t thank a political whore for them "blessing" my Natural Rights, and especially, when depending on the political and social winds at any given moment, this could have gone the other way.

 

[Timjoebillybob]

What are you going to do with your spare time?

Work on getting throwing stars legalized? Ballistic knives would be nice as well.

Well, I don't have to bump the thread twice a day with EMAIL!!! CALL!!! I know ya'll were getting tired of it, TOO BAD!! BA-HAHAHAHA!!

Things wind down about now with this hobby. IGA 2023 session? We gotta get the "pointing a firearm is not deadly force" bill dragged through the House. Maybe I'll testify in opposition to bills written by certain individuals... you can guess who. (Not Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman BTW...)

Tax credit for firearms training/storage devices? Eliminating unarmed victim zones, tightening up the Laird Law, making Liz Brown unemployed?

Tonight? A Perdomo Champagne 10th Anniversary Toro and a couple cold ones that aren't mass-produced American swill (Quaff On Six Foot Blonde and Taxman Gold Standard out in the garage fridge...) while sitting on the screen-porch with the laptop. Nice evening for it.

Raise your glasses INGO (the drinkin kind, not yer bifocals. The cool kids wear tri-focals...) and toast Indiana becoming the 24th State with Constitutional Carry of handguns.

Those would be nice as well.

So how many states are we up to now with ConC? I don't think it's the 24 one of the articles or comments mentioned. Isn't it 25 now? Can't keep it straight...

24. Georgia is likely to be 25. Different bills have passed in both houses and have to go to reconcilliation, and the Gov has said he will sign.

The difference between ruby and tawny ports is quite drastic (and up to choice):

Agreed, I much prefer a ruby port.

I think I will thank him while recognizing that he knew it was a fight he would lose. If we had a Dem in office, he would have vetoed it just to be able to tell his base, hey, I did what I could.
