Indiana Governor Signs Legislation Protecting Workers' Right to Self-Defense: This week, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels (R) signed NRA-backed legislation allowing employees to store legally-owned firearms in locked, private motor vehicles while parked in employer parking lots.

Indiana Governor Signs Monumental Pro-Gun Reform! On Thursday, March 18, Governor Mitch Daniels (R) signed House Bill 1065 into law. This vital piece of legislation will protect Hoosiers against firearm confiscation during natural disasters, such as occurred in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. HB1065 also prevents law-abiding gun owners from being wrongfully terminated from their jobs for having locked firearms in their vehicles while at work.

Alabama Governor Signs Important Pro-Hunting Bill into Law! On Monday, March 22, Governor Bob Riley (R) signed House Bill 330 into law. HB330, authored by State Representative Craig Ford (D-28), will require that the state maintain at least the same level of available public hunting land that currently exists. It will also require that additional lands be opened to hunting if land that is currently open to hunting is closed. Thank you to all of the NRA members who answered the call in support of HB330. Without you, this victory would not have been possible.
