On Tuesday, Jan. 5, an Indiana lawmaker proposed a bill that would allow anyone to carry a handgun without a license in the state.
House Bill 1056 is one of two bills filed Tuesday by Rep. Jim Lucas, a Republican from Seymour, according to the Indianapolis Star. It would repeal the state law requiring a license to carry a handgun in Indiana.
The other bill, House Bill 1055, would prohibit state agencies from regulating firearms on their property with limited exceptions.
