Republican Senate leaders in Indiana have killed a so-called 'constitutional carry' bill that would have nixed carry permits for handguns in Indiana. The bill had seemed to have significant momentum until recently. The move comes despite more than half of the Senate Republican caucus signing on as co-sponsors to the bill, which already had passed the Indiana House. Under the proposal, certain offenders still would have been prohibited from carrying handguns. Fort Wayne Republican Sen. Liz Brown, the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee where the bill has been sitting, declined to give the bill a hearing before the deadline, effectively killing the bill.
