It’s hard to get 77% of Hoosiers to agree on anything these days, but in Senator Mike Bohacek’s district, 77% of his constituents responded that the current permitting system for handgun licenses should remain in place. #INLegis

🧵 #inlegis Rep. Jim Lucas calls a story about Black Hoosiers expressing concern over weakening laws and gun violence “garbage”.

Lucas will tell you he’s not a racist. He is.

Let’s explore the facts from the article (also available here: indystar.com/story/news/loc…)

#LucasMustGo
Here’s some facts from the article which Rep Lucas calls “garbage”:

When the city counted its 100th homicide in June, 81% were a result of gunshots, according to Indianapolis Metropolitan Police data, and 74% of those killed were Black.
This tracks with data from 2020, where 183 Black victims accounted for 74.69% of total homicides.

Nearly 40% of Indiana's Black residents live in Indianapolis according to Census data.

I first taught The Diary of Anne Frank to 8th graders in the mid-2000s.

When I started the unit, I addressed the Holocaust as if the students had foundational knowledge. Imagine my surprise when a student asked me, “Wait, what are you talking about?”
There were several students in my class who had never heard of the Holocaust. At 13, they had never been taught about what actually happened. Instead, it was just a word they had heard without much knowledge.
That evening, I scrambled to find as much as I could to supplement, including a super helpful teaching aide that helped me deliver the necessary background knowledge the kids needed in order to comprehend this moment in history.

Here we go folks, now it’s time to talk about Permitless Carry.

There are 7 Permitless Carry bills in the #inlegis this year. All do the same basic things, and they’re all bad policy.

HB1369 is probably the one that will advance—the 3 authors are on the Public Policy Committee.
Here’s why Permitless Carry is a bad idea, especially in Indiana.

Our permitting system for who is allowed to carry a loaded, concealed handgun in public is already weak.

A 5 year permit is free (as of July 2020), except for a small fee attached to a fingerprint check.
That’s it.

A lifetime license carries a one time fee and the fingerprint check, but then one can carry for life beginning at age 18.

Other states, like Delaware, require training in safety (including the benefits of safe storage), live fire, and conflict resolution.
