Permitless handgun bill moves to third reading in the House

INDIANAPOLIS—The Indiana House amended a controversial handgun bill Monday, setting the stage for a final vote as soon as Tuesday.

House Bill 1077 would repeal the state’s licensing requirement that for carrying a handgun without a permit while setting penalties for those who do not possess them legally.

Rep. Ed Clere, R-New Albany, proposed an amendment that if a juvenile is caught in a misdemeanor crime, they aren’t charged as a felon for also having a handgun.

“We wouldn’t want to charge juveniles because they happen to have a handgun on them while committing a crime,” Clere said. “We just want to make sure that those minor offenses don’t have other implications for that juvenile as a result of this language.”

Indianapolis set a record for homicides last year, and rather than address the elephant in the room, the GA is going after “lenient” judges and bail, especially the Bail Project, which fits nicely with the racist subtext that seethes through legislation here.

There are some real gun-humpers in the House who, if they could, would issue a gun to everybody at birth.

These people suck.

(Oh, and about the judges? They aren’t elected in Marion County (Indy). They’re appointed by a committee established by the — you guessed it — GA. So the GA is responsible for the judges it’s now pissed at. You don’t need to be insane to live here, but it helps.)
