Many consider Indiana a “gun friendly” state. And in recent years there has been an effort to loosen some restrictions the state does impose, but as gun violence escalates there is also push back. At the end of a 2017 special study committee, Indiana legislative staff attorney Akash Burney reviewed the state’s gun laws. “Indiana does not require handgun owners to be licensed or register individual handguns,” Burney read, “Indiana only requires a license if that individual desire to carry a handgun in public.”

Heier said one way this happens is the recovery of guns from felons -- and getting drugs off the streets.

Greg Harton: Carry On, Governor Says

Gov. Asa Hutchinson last month chimed in by letter to the Arkansas State Police to offer his opinion that it's legal for people to openly carry handguns within the state's borders. It sounds pretty official when the governor makes such a statement, but it doesn't change the law. The governor doesn't get to pass laws. He can veto them all he wants, but he can't pass one. State law is the responsibility of the 100 members of the state House of Representatives and 35 members of the Arkansas Senate. The governor can have an opinion that all state-owned vehicles should be painted pink, but that doesn't make it law. The same goes for our attorney general.

What makes classic sporting firearms “classic” is either a matter of opinion based on functionality or largely a quality in the eye of the beholder, according to sporting firearms experts. And defining such sporting weapons is no easy task. For most South Carolinians, primarily live bird hunters or trap and skeet shooting enthusiasts, sporting firearms are side-by-side and over-and-under shotguns. Perhaps a few fine-grade rifles for deer and other big game might be included in the mix.

Dr. Roach writes: As I write this, another gun tragedy has taken place in the United States. By the time it gets published, about 1,500 more people are likely to have been killed by guns, many accidentally. Physicians have a responsibility to protect the health of their patients and the public, and I can’t be silent on this any longer.

2017 was a rough year for American Outdoor Brands (NASDAQ:AOBC), both from an operational and a market perspective. Sales plunged as the year went on as demand for guns dropped, and starting in June the stock began a nosedive that doesn't seem to have stopped. As the calendar rolls over to 2018 and investors assess their portfolios, it's worth asking if American Outdoors is a value stock at this point. The answer may surprise you.

In a victory for law-abiding gun owners in the Hawkeye State, the Iowa Supreme Court has scaled back the state’s earlier-enacted ban on guns in courthouses. The state’s high court in late December said it will allow guns to be carried into county courthouses, with some restrictions. The decision is partially up to the local governing bodies, which must file a written request before getting the authority to allow guns in the public areas of their courthouses.

Baltimore has set a new per-capita homicide record as gunmen killed for drugs, cash, payback — or no apparent reason at all. A surge of homicides in the starkly divided city resulted in 343 killings in 2017, bringing the annual homicide rate to its highest ever — roughly 56 killings per 100,000 people. Baltimore, which has shrunk over decades, currently has about 615,000 inhabitants.

Proposition 63, a law approved by voters in 2016, is in effect and it changes the way licensed carriers and vendors will buy and sell ammunition but many aren't too happy with the new rules. The new law will require anyone selling ammunition to have a license from the Department of Justice. Ammunition purchased online will have to go through a licensed ammunition vendor, and no one will be allowed to drive ammunition across state lines.

With the number of homicides in Philadelphia up 14 percent in 2017, police have created a new gun task force, which begins this year. With over 300 murders and 1,200 shootings last year, there's no questions gun violence is a problem that needs to be addressed. Now, Philadelphia police are hoping a new gun violence task force could be part of the solution. "We gotta get these guys that have guns and are inclined to use them off the street," Philadelphia Police Captain Sekou Kinebrew said.
 

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)]
