More Good Concealed-Carry News.

Ben Swenson dropped me an email:

I thought you might be interested in commenting on some recent gun law changes in Indiana.

HB 1028 and HB 1176 were signed by Governor Mitch Daniels Tuesday giving Indiana lifetime handgun carry licenses as well as clarification of the protection from prosecution or civil suit provided for someone involved in a good defensive shooting. HB1176 is a little like an expanded Castle Doctrine – a very good law.

Daniels was quoted as saying:

For those of us who believe the 2nd Amendment means exactly what it says … this is exactly the kind of step we need to take.

There was some consternation regarding HB 1028 as it has provisions to send 4473’s to the Indiana State Police, but that simply replaces another form that did essentially the same thing, so it’s not really a loss.

Well, Ben, I would comment, but you already have, and since you’re on the ground there I bow to your local expertise. Rock on, Indiana!
