3. The head of the Indiana State Police....

….tore into the General Assembly in a senate committee hearing on Indiana’s constitutional carry bill. He flat-out said they were being hypocrites in their “support” of the police, and that this bill could get cops killed. He also called them out on being a supermajority, accountable to no one. He pissed a lot of people in power off, but a lot of us stood up and cheered.

But then…

Governor signs the bill into law this week, and the same man issues a weak-sauce comment about working within that law. Many people were confused and saddened by that backtrack. Now, when cops pull somebody over, and that person has a weapon, there will be no way to know if that person can legally carry. That was the whole point of the licensing process.

Do I feel safer? Hell, no. But gunz rule.
