(INDIANAPOLIS) - State Representative Jim Lucas, R-Seymour, wants to get rid of the existing law that requires a license to carry a handgun.
Lucas says there is a large increase in the number of people who are applying for a license to carry a handgun - both in Indiana and across the nation.
He said the application process is "burdensome" and something gun owners shouldn't have to do.
State law currently requires a person to have a license in order to carry a handgun in their car or on themselves. That would change under Lucas' bill. As a result, several Class A and Class B misdemeanors would also be eliminated.
