I believe that members of Indiana’s legal profession have a duty to voice their concerns when laws are proposed that
could dramatically affect the civil liberties of individuals living in Indiana. Think about it, what if you could have voiced
your opinion when laws imposing poll taxes or prohibitions against interracial marriages were being considered in some state
legislatures. Would you have done it?

Ryan KlitzschWe've all been there. Driving the same route day-in and day-out, a hundred times before, with little to differentiate one
trip from another. Then there's that one moment when something unforeseen occurs requiring you to instantly maneuver your
vehicle and test how good your reflexes and anti-lock brakes really are - making this all-too-routine trip very different
from the rest.

vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!
Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.
With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
Jack, I was only responding to bill's comment of tying everybody in government together. I agree with you though, it takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.. As in any profession. What's truly unfair is when somebody violates someone's trust and takes complete advantage of someone
John’s comment is unfair. The majority of attorneys can be trusted. Unfortunately, all it takes is one greedy, unscrupulous, immoral attorney to jade the public.
