They're Getting Someone Locked Up

Man, the media makes me mad.
Today, some new laws for my state go into effect, one being that not only can you carry a loaded handgun on your person on your own private property (like always) now you can ALSO carry a loaded handgun on private property belonging to someone else, as long as you have permission of the owner. In addition, you no longer need a license to transport a handgun (provided it's unloaded and enclosed in a non-easily accessed place).
Up until this point, if you bought a handgun you could transport it (unloaded and cased) from the place you purchased it to your home or to and from a place of repair. But that's it.
Many gun owners who live in places where they don't have land to go shooting on were forced to pay for a license just to transport to a shooting range or to an NRA class or training.
This law makes it possible for people to participate in safety classes or just go plinking without paying a fee to the local police and to the state.
However, the Media is spinning it all wrong!! I can't tell you how many people have come into where I work and said that now anybody can carry without a license...because they heard it on the news! NOT TRUE!
If you do not have a license, you MUST have the handgun UNLOADED, CASED, and NOT easily accessed. You may load it when you get to the range, or to someone's private property (with their permission), but when you get ready to head home...UNLOAD it. CASE it. Put it where it's not easily accessed!
News anchors, journalists, editors of papers, and a host of other media types are irresponsibly reporting FALSE information and the well meaning law abiding gun owners are going to suffer! I'm not one that cries "Sue! Sue!", but in the case of someone going to jail, losing their guns, and creating a hardship on their families, I hope it will be possible to play back the broadcasts and place blame where it's due.
Be safe, Hoosiers. Check it out for yourselves here.
