A proposal aiming to repeal Indiana’s handgun permit requirement was at least temporarily sidelined in Legislature on Thursday amid ongoing objections of major law enforcement groups and officials, including the head of the State Police.
Carter blamed the “outside influence of national associations or political posturing” for pushing the permit repeal issue in the Legislature, where Republicans have better than two-thirds majorities in both the House and Senate.
Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb’s office didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment about where he stands on the proposal and Carter's remarks. “We’ve worked hand in hand with the state police,” Huston said. “I understand this is an emotional topic for Superintendent Carter. Just very disappointed his comments.”
“I don’t have any ability to tell you exactly what form that will be in, we’ll continue to debate and discuss that,” Bray said.
