With the General Assembly session underway, it is critical that you contact your State Senator and State Representative regarding pending firearm-related bills. Senate Bill 18, introduced by Second Amendment advocate, State Senator Brent Steele (R-44), has passed out of the Senate Public Policy Committee, and is headed to the Senate floor. This bill will eliminate the requirement for FFLs to provide the State Police with a copy of federal form 4473 for handgun transactions. State Representative Mike Murphy (R-90) has introduced House Bill 1200, legislation that mirrors SB18.
As expected, rabid gun-ban advocate State Representative David Orentlicher (D-86) is sponsoring two measures, House Bill 1089 and House Bill 1090, that seek to radically change Indiana's firearms statutes. If enacted, HB1089 would gut Indiana's firearm preemption statute and provide Marion County with the authority to establish its own regulations regarding the sale, transport, transfer, and carrying of firearms, thus creating a patchwork of laws that could make criminals out of otherwise law-abiding gun owners. In addition, State Representative Orentlicher's HB1090 seeks to end gun shows as we know them by defining a firearm dealer as any person who exhibits, sells, rents, exchanges, or transfers at least one firearm at a gun show. Further, a gun show would be defined as an event at which at least 50 firearms are offered for sale, rent, exchange, or transfer.
State Representative Orentlicher goes even further to assault the Second Amendment by including language in HB1090 that prohibits the purchase of more than one handgun during any 30-day period! State Representative Eric Koch (R-65) has filed NRA-supported House Bill 1011, the "Indiana Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act." In filing HB1011, State Representative Koch seeks to ensure that law-abiding firearm owners will not be stripped of their Right to Keep and Bear Arms during a declared state of emergency or disaster. Also, State Representative Jerry Denbo (D-62) has introduced NRA-supported legislation, House Bill 1118, that will allow law-abiding gun owners to store a firearm in a locked vehicle located in most public parking areas. Please contact your State Senator at (317)-232-9400 and State Representative at (317)-232-9600 and strongly urge them to oppose both HB1089 and HB1090, and to support and vote for SB18, HB1200, HB1011, and HB1118.
