Frequently Asked Questions

What is Indiana's new law regarding lawsuits against gun manufacturers?

Indiana's HB 1235, signed by Governor Eric Holcomb, prohibits cities and other political subdivisions from suing firearm manufacturers, distributors, sellers, or trade associations. This means only the state's Attorney General's office can initiate such litigation.

How does Indiana's HB 1235 affect gun control groups' strategies?

What is the significance of Indiana's HB 1235 in relation to firearm preemption?
