2019 Legislative Session Thread

I am sure this has been covered... but can one hold a lifetime and a 5 year LTCH?

That would allow me to not have to go thru the NICS check but if I forgot to renew I would still have my lifetime to fall back on.

According to ISP:

“Starting July 1, 2019 the four year license to carry a handgun (LTCH) will no longer be issued. It has been replaced with the five year LTCH. Current four year licenses will not automatically extend and will expire four years after issuance. The five year and lifetime LTCH may be applied for and held concurrently. The five year LTCH will NOT qualify as an alternative to the NICS background check requirement.”

“The language is in place in the statute to create the groundwork needed for NICS exemption however the NICS check is governed Federally. Only the ATF can certify the five year LTCH qualifies as an alternative to the NICS requirements. Currently there is no additional information on if or when the Indiana five year LTCH may become an alternative to the NICS background check.”

Waiting on the ATF. Why does that sound familiar? This could be what's known as a trend.

The FFL Dealers listen and are governed by them (ATF) and not the state. That is why the specific language stating “NICS Exempt” was stripped from the bill and won’t be in the statute. However the conditions are set to meet all required criteria for approval.

Just going to drop this one here.

DC Cir. rejects Second Amendment challenge to having a firearm on Capitol grounds (he had three guns in his locked jeep in the 200 block Maryland Avenue parking slots).

Also rejects due process challenge premised on confusing Capitol grounds boundaries.
