Republicans in the Indiana House of Representatives have turned a bill about medical cannabidiol oil, into a bill deregulating firearm ownership.
After the adoption of a similar bill in the Indiana Senate, Rep. William Friend (R-Macy) and other House Republicans changed the bill to do away with restrictions on firearm permitting.
Rep. Matt Pierce (D-Bloomington) sits on both bills conference committees. He says he’ll likely be replaced on House Bill 1214’s committee, since he’ll object to the lifting of permitting restrictions.
