The Gun Guy Full Show 02 25 2023

Gun Relford returns to the 93.1 WIBC studios for another edition of the Gun Guy Show. In the first hour, Indiana Rep Jim Lucas calls in to discuss his bill HB 1177, which would create specialized firearms safety, education, and training curriculum for teachers, school staff, and school employees. Lucas dispels some of the disinformation out there regarding his bill. Critics of such bills often make the argument that such bills would turn our schools into the Wild West. But Lucas disagrees and says it does quite the opposite. For about the same price of resource officer, 40 staff members could be properly trained with a firearm. Armed teachers and staff make a potential shooter less likely to act, since he won't know who is armed. Lucas adds that it's just misguided to rely on the police to protect our children. In fact, courts have ruled that they are not obligated to.  "Our highest courts of the land have ruled that we are on our own" says Lucas.  In the second hour, Guy talks about the case of 23-year-old Walter Oliver who was arrested inside Castleton Square Mall on an allegation he had a handgun with Glock switch inside. Carrying a firearm inside a mall is not against the law, as evidenced in the Greenwood Mall shooting. So, was the arrest of Oliver on the suspicion he was packing against the law? Guy addresses that question.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
