An attendee holds a handgun during the National Rifle Association Convention on April 15, 2023, in Indianapolis. Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a bill aiming to block the city of Gary’s nearly quarter century long legal battle against the gun manufacturers.
In a statement, Holcomb said House Bill 1235 brings certainty that only the state can file such lawsuits against the gun industry.“It does bring closure to a long-standing statewide legislative debate,” Holcomb said in a statement. In a statement released Saturday, Melton said the city and its representatives lobbied hard against the bill.
Some Republicans, who disagreed with the standard being set preventing municipalities from filing lawsuits, voted against the bill, but it easily passed both chambers with local Lake and Porter GOP lawmakers supporting it.
