Electronic notice of private gun sale in Indiana

[atalon]

I was shown a bill that said you had to create an electronic notice to the State Police for a private gun sale. Is this an active law or just a proposed one that may not have passed?

That bill went nowhere. It's been sitting in committee since January.

Ah, thanks. For showing me how to look that up.

Ah, Vernon Smith of Gary, always doing his best to undermine our civil rights.

I get these questions every single week. Please understand that just because a bill is proposed does NOT make it law.

Remember Schoolhouse Rock, "I'm Just a Bill"? Similar process to that.

Read that out loud to yourself.

Yeah, less than optimal. I fixed it.

Even if there was such a law, it would be virtually unenforceable.

Some years back in Indiana they used to have a law similar to this regarding private handgun sales.

It was repealed at least in part because it was unenforceable.

They're actually available on DVD, too... I bought a copy in either 2008 or 2012, prior to the election, and recently bought an updated one (one new song, IIRC) for my grandson to grow up listening to.
