Well, I cannot even buy a cold can of beer at a convenient store in the state of Indiana!

But I can a lethal weapon in Walmart? This is what our country is coming too? Got to love GOPer controlling Governor! They told me that I can go to liquor store and buy cold beer there. That is not a good idea! Drive my semi truck to a liquor store and then put in my truck and drive back to the truck stop! Then a cop stops me only to get hung up in tickets and lose my job cause I have liquor in my truck while I am operating a commercial vehicle!

But it’s not illegal to drink and carry a loaded gun. This is not what we’re coming to. It’s where we are.

Much lower than what it is for driving. If you blow over 0.02 and have the pistol concealed you can kiss that CPL goodbye for 1-3 years or permanently if you blow 0.1 or over.

Good luck on getting the gun back as well.

I was thinking about Texas, and the recently passed law there that anybody can carry, no license, background check, or training required.

I expect it’s insane just like FL.

Oddly enough, Vermont has a no permit required system for concealed carry. But VT is a state of maybe 700,000 max. Far cry from the population of TX.

Mike Pence!

Somehow, it doesn't surprise me that the place would have some crazy laws.

Some states more than others. And our attitude toward guns is the reason. I will never get this fetish as long as I live.

Surely Indiana must have some inconvenient stores somewhere?
