Indiana Gun Rights

[4sarge]

Got this e-mail from Jim Tomes

I don't have much time anymore to write letters like I used to, but I'd like to take this opportunity just to brief everyone on some things going on.

About two weeks ago I was contacted by a reporter for the Indiana Lawyer, David Stafford who was putting a story together about SB 292 and the lawsuits that were filed since then against municipalities who have violated this new law. You can read the story for yourself http://www.theindianalawyer.com/lawsuits-test-gun-restrictions-at-polling-places--local-regulations/PARAMS/article/29634

The one question that Mr. Stafford asked multiple times was if I would consider doing something at the state level to clarify what the exemptions of the law are or allowing a change in cases like polling areas. Simpley stated I said that the law is very clear and it's unfortunate that some local officials in some cities don't want to comply, either through obstinacies or ignorance and no I would not agree to any changes in the current law in that respect.

On a different note I was told that one of our local state legislators who was attending a Fraternal Order of Police candidate night recently was engaged in questions and comments about SB 1, the bill that was passed concerning the Castle Doctrine or sometimes called "stand your ground" law. It seems that some of the local Evansville city police are really upset about this law which actually was to their benefit. Nevertheless, they are mad and mad at those of us who support the citizens right to protect their homes from invasions.

In any event this state legislator here took their spouse's NRA membership card and cut it up in front of the audience of police to the cheers of those present. Two days ago I asked this legislator point blank if they did indeed do that and was told absolutely.

It is somewhat curious that SB 1 was more about the Fourth Amendment than the Second but nonetheless the anger is toward the NRA and legislators who stand for the Constitution.


In our blue skies there will always be dark clouds. I hope that we can STAY UNITED for what ever lies ahead. I hope that we will continue to assemble together at our 2nd Amendment Patriot meetings and those who have drifted away will see the need to rejoin us and help all of us bear the task of holding the line.

We're now just days away from another major chapter in this country's history come November 6th. I'm sure that interested groups from all sides are working to be victorious in achieving their goal. It would sure be comforting to see that we have not just the numbers but people with the determination to stand together and face the threat to freedom and liberty, not just for our kids, but for ourselves. The fact is that we are the ones to whom this duty rests.

Failing now to apply ourselves is not an option. Those who have reasons not to help are exceeded only by those who have excuses not to help.

If there is a candidate or incumbent at any level in your own piece of the country that will be an asset please lend a hand in getting that person elected.

“In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.” James Allen (1864-1912)

It's OK. We have INGO members that tell us that the police are not involved in the political process thus we know that the e-mail is inaccurate.

 

[eldirector]

So, who is this un-named legislator down in Evansville? I'm sure their constituents would like to have a few words.

Thank you, Se. Tomes, for all you do! I may not be in your district, but you have my support.

Name of the legislator. Date and place this happened.

I'll wait here.

 

[drillsgt]

Who here is on EPD? Go slap some sense into your anti-gun brethren (figuratively of course).

 

[Kirk Freeman]

SB1 wasn't a "gun bill" per se.

 

[KLB]

SB1 wasn't a "gun bill" per se.

Of course not, it was an open season on cops bill.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

So, this is the other side of the gun shop discussion groups regarding gun laws? You know like listening to 8th grade boys talk about sex?

This sounds odd. Why the legislator's wife's card?

Progressives never give up...

E-mail is legit and IMO Senator Tomes is above Reproach. Wife's card, maybe he doesn't have one or wasn't silly enough to cut up his own

2nd Amendment Patriots

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Sure, but who is legislator?

I've met the senator once and based on that conversation, I have a positive impression of him. Where do they meet?

Kirk, since I was not present and presented the Group e-mail it would seem to me that You would question the source. Why not ask the Senator ? I provided the Contact Information. Have one of your para legals check it out

 

[Kirk Freeman]

I have. If I get a response I shall let INGO know.

I have. If I get a response I shall let INGO know.

Here are the 2 FOP Lodges that represent Evansville and Vanderburgh County officers. The National FOP Leadership is IMO Liberal and anti freedom. Local lodges usually reflect local values and beliefs. Evansville is partisan Democrat while the County is normally Conservative.

Here's the response that I received:

"It was Rep. Gail Rieken and she admitted it to me when I asked her about it this past Tuesday."

Well now, what's Ms. Rieken say about this? Anyone in communication with her?

Democratic Rep. Gail Riecken

The law, which took effect July 1, includes exemptions that bar guns in schools, public hospitals, buildings that include courts and public buildings that include metal detectors and security officers at every entrance.
Before being elected to the Indiana House, Democratic Rep. Gail Riecken served as Evansville's parks director. She said she is "not surprised at all" by what happened at the zoo.
"It's one of the first things I thought about — guns around children," she said

A very quick perusal of her Facebook page lends the impression she's a typical, union loving, democrat.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Does she have an opponent in November?

Big surprise. She's always been a leftist tool. Glad John Hostettler whipped her Bloomington trolling liberal ass in '98.
