On February 19, 2022, the Associated Press published an article reporting Indiana Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray saying he expected the Senate Judiciary Committee, which had bottled up the Constitutional Carry bill, to advance the bill to the full Senate.
From AP via usnews.com:
Republican Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray said he expected a Senate committee in the coming week to advance the bill loosening Indiana’s already lenient firearms restrictions that the GOP-dominated House approved last month.
The Judiciary Committee was the chosen vehicle used by the Republican majority of senators to kill Constitutional Carry in 2021. The Republican senators had met in caucus and are reported to have used a secret vote to kill Constitutional Carry. They did so with the simple method of never allowing the bill to be debated or voted on in the Judiciary Committee. The problem for the Republican senators is Constitutional Carry is very popular with their base constituency.
Analysis:
There are 21 states which have Constitutional Carry. It has not been a problem. Homicide rates have not increased. As with all the other reforms which have removed and loosened decades of infringements on the Second Amendment, the “blood in the streets” promised by those who wish to disarm the population, has not materialized.
Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray has had to acknowledge this. He has been educated, in spite of decades of indoctrination by the Left. Facts are stubborn things.
From windobi.com:
“As you look around other states that have done the same thing, there haven’t been a lot of other problems, at least that we have seen, that have cropped up as a result of this policy and so we’re trying to cautiously move forward with it,” Bray said.

Pretty soon they will have to fence all 50 statehouses.
elites circling the wagons now that WW 3 is coming.
They know they screwed up big.
High time we stop using the term, RINO, in any capacity. Just start calling all of them Assistant Democrats or Democrats. Pick one. No need to give them, even a little bit of credit.
How about DISC, Democrat In Sheep’s Clothing?
That absolutely works.
By using the word Republican, in any form, it gives them a scintilla of credibility.
IE….He/she is a RINO, but at least they vote with the Republicans most of the time……..Nahhhh
Those days nee to be out to rest, once and for all
Why not? The RINOs in Georgia are doing it.
Glad to have moved out of that corrupt sheethole. Pretty corrupt in TX too though. We got Constitutional Carry because of a power outage
