Proposals Would Strengthen Indiana Gun Rights

INDIANAPOLIS -- Residents would have a stronger right to use deadly force against intruders under a bill in the Indiana General Assembly.
Under House Bill 1028, residents would not have a duty to retreat before using deadly force to defend themselves or their home. Similar language is contained in Senate Bill 54.
"This says you can use deadly force if you deem it appropriate," said state Sen. Johnny Nugent, R-Lawrenceburg, who is sponsoring the bill in the Senate. "It puts in statute what courts have been doing already."
Specifically, the bill states that a person can use deadly force without first retreating "if the person reasonably believes that force is necessary to prevent serious * injury to the person or a third person or the commission of a forcible felony."
The Senate version of the bill also contains a provision that would make Indiana gun permits good for life, rather than the current four years.
Gun owners still would have to pass a police background check and keep their fingerprints on file.
"The Second Amendment gives law-abiding citizens the right to own and possess a gun, and the current process is an undue burden," said the bill's sponsor, Rep. Troy Woodruff, R-Vincennes. "This way you would get your license once, and as long as you are in good standing you keep it."
Fees for the one-time permit would be $125, $100 higher than the current level. Applicants could apply over the Internet directly to the state police instead of having to go through their local law enforcement agency.
Allen County Sheriff Jim Herman opposes the change, saying the four-year system helps ensure that gun permits are revoked when people run afoul of the law.
"But honestly I think it's a good idea to do it every four years," said Herman. "It affords us the opportunity to review things every once in a while. I think it is prudent."
State police spokesman Steve Hillman said the agency continually runs new convictions against the gun licensing database to make sure permits are revoked when necessary.
Gov. Mitch Daniels has said he would sign the bill.
