A very Bad Law

A bill that passed both houses & now goes to the Govenor to sign into
Law. I really hope he vetoes it, but it's doubtful he will.



Lawmakers Approve Workplace Guns Bill
Some Exempt From Measure

POSTED: 9:16 am EST March 5, 2010


INDIANAPOLIS -- In a victory for gun rights over property rights, the Indiana General Assembly approved a bill that lets workers keep firearms locked in their cars in trunks or out of sight while parked on company property.

The Indiana House approved the bill 74-20 Thursday and the Senate passed it 41-9. It now goes to Gov. Mitch Daniels.

A last-minute compromise exempts some public utilities and chemical plants and agencies whose drivers transport developmentally disabled people.

The bill also exempts schools, child care centers, domestic violence shelters and group homes.

Opponents said the bill can lead to workplace violence. Supporters said it merely allows people with legal rights to carry weapons to keep them locked up in their cars at work.

As someone who was in a workplace when an ex came in and held his former wife hostage, requiring all of us to scurry out of the building on our hands and knees, I see NO reason for people to need guns in their cars at work!

Goodness, whatever are they thinking?

All I can say is this... It all comes down to the root failure of every gun control law that ever was passed, or ever will be passed.


Only the law abiding care about gun laws. Pass all the "feel good" laws you want. Criminals will still do what criminals do.


End of story.

I have to agree with you. A criminal has no care if he is breaking the law...if he did he wouldn't be a criminal.

The first sentence SHOULD read "In a halfhearted victory for constitutional rights"

Because that's all it is.

I guess I should feel lucky that THIS idea for a law got press coverage,
but did NOT make it into law.
