Lifetime carry permit bill

Update from another site:

"HB1176
02/06/2006 S First reading: referred to Committee on Corrections, Criminal, and Civil Matters

HB1028
02/06/2006 S First reading: referred to Committee on Rules and Legislative Procedure

Nugent deserves a thank you call from everyone who can call.
Long, and Garton deserve a thank you call on assignments and first readings.
Also call your own Senators and urge these pass out of committee and pass on the floor.


Just hope they did not have to commit to changes on 1028.

HB 1176 needs a hearing in the senate.

Quote:
I just had a phone conversation with Rep. Woodruff and Sen. Nugent about HB
1176. It has not been scheduled for a hearing on the senate side yet.

Sen. Nugent tells me that the Chairman, Sen. Long, is troubled with the
"lifetime" language. He seems to be concerned what would happen if someone has a
lifetime permit and does something to have it revoked, how would it be done.
Well, it would be the same procedure if someone just received their four year
permit and a week later does something wrong. There's no difference.

I've told you before that I'm not too fond of Sen. Long when it comes to
standing strong for gun owners. What you all must do and I sincerely hope you
will and that is call Sen. Long's office Monday and politely request that he
give HB 1176 a hearing. Again the number is 1-800-382-9467, ask the operator to
put you into his office. I don't care what state you live in just call him. This
bill needs to get a hearing in the senate in the next few days.

Long has given HB 1028 a hearing which is unbelievable. That's Rep. Koch's bill
that would allow a citizen to use deadly force like Florida's Castle Doctrine
law. Yet Sen. Long has a problem with honest law abiding citizens having a
lifetime carry permit to exercise their Constitutional right.

Rep. Woodruff told that me tonight that he has a few more moves if the senate
doesn't co-operate, but it would be a whole lot better if they would.

If this becomes law it would be the first in the nation. Every legislator whose
name is associated with this will benefit from it. You would think that would
occur to Sen. Long.

There are about 130 recipients on this e-mail list. I hope that everyone one of
them and their spouse and their friends will call Sen. Long's office, too.
Especially everyone in the Ft. Wayne, IN area needs to make the call.

HB 1028, Rep, Koch's bill, I'm told, was a (NRA Bill). HB 1176 is an American
citizen gun owner bill. IT'S YOUR BILL. HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT? Do you want the
hassle every 4 years from local law enforcement agencies who try to make it a
hardship for you to even apply for a permit? Maybe they don't want you to own a
gun. Maybe they don't like the medication you have prescribed. Maybe it's just
the way you look that doesn't appeal to them. There's countless reasons why they
might imagine that you ought not be allowed to exercise your right to keep and
bear arms. But a lifetime permit would put a lot of this aggravation behind you.



As many folks who can please let them know you want the bill to be acted on and
not die quietly in a comittee.

1028 will not be assigned to comittee
Indiana State Senator, District 41 Robert D. Garton is President Pro Tempore and
will not assigne this to comittee in the Senate. He does not like the Corp
restrictions on banning safe storage in locked vehicles on company property. He
is willing to assigne this to comittee if he gets a commitment to remove this
Corp restrictive language from the bill.
I got this directly from Sen J Nugent.

Give Garton and your own Sen a call urging this get assigned to comittee. We
want this included. Do you remember the suite in Oklahoma? Corporations do not
run the state of Indiana. Let's not let them start."
