And also why we have life in prison and/or the death penalty for people too bad to let out.MeMelYup wrote:Good on both counts. Thinking about this I guess that I am sort of a liberal. The opinion expressed here is once a felon always a felon. I disagree. When a person commits a crime (no matter what level) and pays for it by completing his/her sentence (parole, etc., everything that was adjudicated by the court). That person should be able to receive all rights back.

Re: IN: Police May Not Detain Armed Hoosiers to Check for Handgun License
The irony is that we wouldn't have gotten the ruling if the person were legal to carry. The founders must have considered this when drafting the bill of rights, and presumably the drafters of Indiana's state constitution did as well.Jusme wrote:rotor wrote:In the reported case I am ambivalent about the result because we ended up with a felon with a gun getting a free pass.
I am happy about the ruling, but I wish it had been someone who was legal to carry.
Maybe the Feds can have a crack at him since that's not double jeopardy and the Federal Appellate Courts are split on this issue. 4th circuit says less protection from 5th amendment for gun carriers. Don't know what the 7th (covers Indiana) says.
