Indiana Restores Gun-Carry Right in State Parks Gov. Mitch Daniels has revealed changes made to Indiana law by Executive Order to restore the right to carry a handgun in Indiana state parks and, in fact, on all Department of Natural Resources land. He made the official announcement on Friday in the company of NRA president Sandra Froman. The Indianapolis Star quotes DNR director Kyle Hupfer as saying, “We’re a society of rights…You can carry (handguns) into a…Wal-Mart. I don’t understand why our forest would be different.”
