Suzanne Crouch on Gun Control

Allow teachers to carry guns at school

A: I believe in the right to "keep and bear arms" and that the Second Amendment protects private gun ownership by all lawful citizens. I affirm Section 32 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana, which states "the people shall have a right to bear arms, for the defense of themselves and the State." Finally, I applaud the passage of "Constitutional carry" by the Indiana General Assembly. Indiana General Assembly.

Q: Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

A: Yes.

Democrats want to restrict our rights to bear arms

Prohibit local gun laws; require statewide standard

NRA-ILA statement in support (5/6/11): In one of the most successful pro-gun legislative sessions in the Hoosier State’s recent history, the Indiana General Assembly passed and sent several pro-firearm freedom bills to the governor. The NRA's top legislative priority, the "Firearm Preemption Reform" bill, passed in the General Assembly on the final day of the 2011 legislative session. Senate Bill 292 would mandate a statewide standard for all firearm laws in Indiana ["pre-empting" local city ordinances for more firearm restrictions].

Legislative Outcome: Passed House 70-24-6 on Apr/29/11; State Rep. Suzanne Crouch voted YES; passed Senate 40-10-0 on Apr/29/11; signed by Governor Mitch Daniels on May/10/11.
