Sensible changes made to gun laws

In spite of the “Great Skedaddle” to Illinois by Democrats from the Indiana state legislature, all six firearm-friendly bills introduced in the 2011 session passed both the Senate and the House by large margins and were signed into law by Gov. Mitch Daniels. I believe all the laws become effective on July 1.

Wow! Some of their laws stink like day-old roadkill.

It is illegal in Indiana to transport a handgun without a license other than to or from a dealer, gunsmith, home, or place of business. Apparently it is illegal to hunt with a handgun, and there is nothing like our traveling exception.

Of course, it is easier to get a license there. They have about double the rate of Texas.

They also finally got state preemption over local weapons laws.
