After the Constitutional Carry bill in Indiana was effectively killed in the Judiciary Committee, with the connivance of the Chair, Liz Brown (R), the bill has been resurrected by Second Amendment supporting Republicans. From wrtv.com:
INDIANAPOLIS — House Bill 1077, known as the ‘Constitutional Carry’ bill, has been effectively revived in the Indiana Senate after GOP lawmakers moved language from the now-dead bill into the unrelated Senate Bill 209.
SB 209 was originally a bill that addressed drug scheduling, but all that language was removed, and replaced with the original HB 1077 language.
In the conference committee, no testimony was allowed before the vote on the bill. The chair, Senator Eric Koch (R) said all the testimony had already been given.
As the previous bill, SB 209, was previously passed by the Senate, this bill, now SB 209 with the original language of House Bill 1077, is reported as not subject to amendment.
As reported on indianagunowners.com:
I have the honor of being an Advisor on SB209 this morning where we stripped the original language from that bill and replaced it with the Constitutional Carry language that passed the House.
Constitutional Carry is ALIVE!
AP reports both the Senate and the House will have to approve of the “amended” bill before the end of the legislative session next week, for it to be sent to Governor Holcombe. From apnews.com:

Carry anyway, ole Joe and cronies will toe tag you, that’s about it..
I fear Holcombe will veto it.
There is no fear Holcomb will veto it, it is a given.
Is Holcombe up for reelection this year?
But wait, the clown show Democrat plants of FR were on here just last week screaming about how we should give control of Indiana to Democrats to teach the RINOs a lesson.
Good. I hope it passes because IN is next to my state of MI.
MI would have had CC if not for a veto by RINO Rick. (Snyder)
And Ohio sent its Constitutional Carry bill to DeWine’s desk on March 2. If you’re in Ohio, let him know where you stand.

The Indiana Constitution makes it very easy to override a veto.
The legislature has the entire next legislative session to override it.
It takes a simple majority of both houses to do so.
The Bill passed with a two thirds vote in the House, and 30 to 20 in the Senate.
This is nice to know. Thanks
# No, but a veto can be over ridden by a simple majority.
They most likely won’t have time for that. I suspect this is a publicity stunt by the ‘republicans’ to say ‘they tried’, but those rascally democrats defeated them.
Not really familiar with IN politics, but I’ve seen this late-session crap before. It’s a big clown show.
good to know. I figured it was one of those late-session clown shows.
