News Brief: Legislator seeks gun reform
December 14, 2016
Along with many other republicans, State Representative of House District 69 Jim Lucas (R-Seymour) is encouraging that Indiana no longer has the obligation to have a concealed carry permit, according to CBS4. The concealed carry permit means a permit is needed when weapons are carried, which must be done so in a concealed fashion. With removal of this law, the permit would no longer be necessary.
Lucas does not think these laws are moral. To him, it is not allowing citizens to perform a right that the people have due to the Second Amendment, which gives people a right to bear arms.
Gun rights attorney Guy Relford wants it to be known that even if this law passes through, it is not going to change who can obtain a gun. If the law does pass, Indiana will be the thirteenth state to have abolished the concealed carry permit requirement in the U.S.
