Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb on March 21 signed into law a measure that will allow the state’s citizens to carry a handgun without a permit, also referred to as a “constitutional carry” bill by some, in reference to the Second Amendment.

The measure, HEA 1296, was passed by a 30–20 vote in Indiana’s Senate on March 8 after it was approved by the state House by a 68–30 vote on Jan. 11, both largely along party lines.

The law becomes effective on July 1, after which people aged 18 and over won’t need to apply for a license to carry a handgun in the state, except for reasons such as having a felony conviction or having been diagnosed with a dangerous mental illness.
