Indiana Senate debates bill that would allow guns in school parking lots

Thanks Thomas, I was going to say.... They already made it legal for us to pick up or drop off our kids. The only thing I could imagine would be a bill for people GOING to school i.e. College students, to leave their firearms in their cars.

I would need more information as to which bill was under discussion.
