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.
General Assembly Brown s panel won t give hearing on ending permits NIKI KELLY | The Journal Gazette INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Senate will not hear a measure that would have eliminated firearms carry permits in Indiana – a move that kills the bill for the session. Sen. Liz Brown, R-Fort Wayne, chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee and said she would not give House Bill 1369 a hearing. Instead, the Senate will eliminate the $75 fee to get a lifetime carry permit and cover the cost in the state budget. The legislature previously eliminated the five-year permit fee. But Rep. Ben Smaltz, R-Auburn – author of the bill – said it s about more than the fee. He said Hoosiers are waiting months for a permit because of a backlog in getting fingerprints and background checks.
