Editorial Indiana Lawyer
Here at the newspaper, we’re big fans of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. But we understand the
need for and exuberance some individuals feel for the Second Amendment: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to
the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Editorial Indiana LawyerDawn Johnsen deserved the nomination, and definitely was the right woman for the job, but unfortunately partisan vitriol appears
to
be worth more in Washington, D.C., than doing the right thing.

Editorial Indiana LawyerLike it or not, we live in a time where, for some people at least, it's become acceptable to speak about "reloading" when
doing battle against political opponents and to mark their political districts with gun sites, and where members of a Midwestern
church believe it's their duty to travel the nation and spew hate-laced messages in places where people are mourning tragedy.

Editorial Indiana LawyerIndiana Supreme Court Justice Frank Sullivan certainly spoke for us when he asked this question a couple of weeks ago: "Wouldn't
we feel better about all of this if it hadn't been enacted on partyline votes, though?"

I highly recommend Deanna and her team of professionals that serve the legal community. Great information and many thanks for sharing.
they are pushing these cases against lawyers too far. thought-crime.
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.
