Indiana: New Legislation

[RaspberrySurprise]

Now is it me or would it still be illegal to take your pistol to the range for practice unless it was part of a safety or training course?

They need to remove any restriction for carrying an unloaded handgun to and from a range, business or home.

This sounds like it's meant to be used against someone when they can't bust them for something else.

While I agree with your first statement, I think it's more of an unintended consequence of the "qualified" and "unlimited" license scheme that is in place.

If we were to propose a law completely removing the restrction of unloaded transport, they would just point to the "shall issue" nature of the "qualified" permit and say that people who want to go shooting can get a permit with very little hassle... even less now with lifetime licenses available.

This new proposal is for people who don't shoot, don't carry, and never will, but are possibly felons if they just want to learn how to use their gun safely.
