I'm very proud to be Eli Dicken's lawyer - and the more we discuss the horrifying events of Sunday, July 17 in the Greenwood Park Mall, the more I'm amazed at this young man's courage and performance under pressure. Simply amazing.
At least we can finally put the "no one wants to take your guns" bullshit to bed. That's always been a lie told by Democrats, and
@RepSwalwell
just proved it.

CONGRATS to Elisjsha Dicken, who saved countless innocent lives when he heroically neutralized an active shooter in the Greenwood Park Mall, and tonight received the Greenwood Citizen of the Year Award from Chief of Police James Ison. I am proud to be your lawyer and your friend.
Indiana has the strongest self-defense immunity law in the country, which I wrote and Rep. Jim Lucas introduced and championed in the Indiana General Assembly in 2019. This statute was inspired by the experience of my client, Kystie Phillips, who heroically saved the life of a
Simon malls have a "no firearms" policy that the Greenwood hero apparently ignored. However, IN does not have a law that criminalizes the act of ignoring a "no guns" policy on private property. So this issue has no effect on the outcome of this case - justified is justified.
The real impact of the Second Amendment is that it allows American citizens to say, "HELL NO."
When a a 300 lb. rapist attacks a 98 lb. woman. she can say, "HELL NO."
When multiple home invaders enter a residence, the owner can say, "HELL NO."

I'm having a problem wrapping my head around the fact that anti-2A activists are actually ANGRY that countless lives were saved by a lawfully-armed citizen in the Greenwood Park Mall. How depraved and heartless do you have to be to think like that?
I just realized that today marks the 40th anniversary of the day I was sworn in as an attorney before the Supreme Court of Indiana. I've enjoyed every minute of it, but I've never loved my job more than during the many years since I established my own office and devoted 100% of

I know who needs to hear this (
@shannonrwatts

When you hear politicians say we can "prevent" mass shootings by passing "common sense gun control," consider these facts:
Connecticut had an "assault weapons ban" for 18 years prior to the Sandy Hook school shooting.
The worst school shooting in history at Virginia Tech
I was excited to support Shreve's campaign. And then he stabbed us in the back on the Second Amendment. I'm sorely disappointed that his advisors gave him such horrific advice. I'm even more disappointed that we have 4 more years of the worst mayor in Indianapolis history.
I ran for the office of mayor because I love my city, and I wanted to make it a better place to live. I appreciate all the support I received during this campaign. Thank you all.
Update: Two pro-2A bills passed out of their assigned committees in the Indiana Senate this week and are now on their way to the Senate floor for a vote. Both bills have already passed in the House, so they're now just a couple of steps away from landing on the governor's desk

In 2020, 930,160 human beings were killed by abortions in the US.
