Hi All,
I have written a letter that you can copy and paste to send to your state reps in regards to amending our State code to include being allowed to carry at school owned property. Please fill in your state reps name and your name and send this to your district reps. Share this with your friends and family so we can get all the state reps on board. Let me know if we should make any chances, comment below on what you would change.
Dear “Insert State Rep’s name”,
This past year of 2022 Constitutional Carry was passed allowing Hoosiers to carry handguns in self defense regardless of having a “License to Carry.” This has allows residents to protect themselves and their loved ones from direct threats. However currently there are still some limitations to this that are in the Indiana State Code. As seen in Indiana Code Title 35-47-2-1, “a person may not carry a firearm on school property, and if caught is guilt of a class A misdemeanor.” As seen in the Greenwood Park Mall shooting this past year, “gun free zones” do not deter criminals from committing these heinous acts. Several of the most deadly shootings in the US have happened at schools (Uvalde, Parkland, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, Columbine, and countless others). Schools should not be gun free zones in Indiana as parents need the ability to protect their child when taking them to/from school functions, while on school property, and also school sponsored sporting events. It is imperative that we protect our children from these criminals who actively target children because they are easy targets. Please do your best in amending the Indiana Code to allow Hoosiers to be able to protect their families at schools.
Thank you,
