State Representatives Eric Koch (R-65) and Dave Cheatham (D-69) have introduced a critically important pro-Second Amendment and self-defense proposal, House Bill 1043. HB1043 would prevent government agencies from confiscating firearms from law-abiding citizens during a disaster or state of emergency, such as occurred after Hurricane Katrina.
Proposals such as HB1043 have been approved by overwhelmingly bipartisan majorities in the U.S. Congress, as well as in 22 states. However, with 2008 being a short legislative session in Indiana, time is running short for this measure to be heard in committee.
HB1043 has yet to be scheduled for a committee hearing.
Please contact your State Representative at (317) 232-9600 and strongly urge him or her to protect your right to defend yourself and your loved ones by requesting the House leadership to place HB1043 on the committee calendar!
