What scares me is that if the citizens of Indiana don't fight this will set a president for other sales to follow. If it can happen in the heartland, it can happen anywhere.

Wow THAT is some seriously F'd up stuff right there! Guilty until proven innocent apparently. They had BETTER fight this court decision. Then get rid of those judges.
Oh ya. You hit the nail on the head. This reeks of the garbage the Fed Govt has done in their relationships with Native American Tribes for over a hundred years now. It looks like a build up leading to an established "trust" relationship, where the citizen is in a position of child and the Fed Govt is in a position of ward.
Lot of historical legalities involving Indians that show they are the canary in the coal mine when it comes to matters like these. If the Supreme Court doesn't take an appeal and spike this, it's trouble. Big trouble.
We all need to remember that we do not need the permission from another human being to protect ones property or self.
Remember that they are natural born rights.
When I read this I thought I was going to break my teeth, my jaws tightened that much. Indiana has its own Constitution and Article 11 basically mirrors the US Bill of Rights, 4th Amendment.
This ruling is in direct contradiction to Indiana's Constitution.
I think the citizens of Indiana should have the right to demand the immediate removal of these Justices from the bench.
Or physically go in and drag their pompous asses out and beat them to a lifeless pulp.
This is the kind of shit that wars are started over.
Damn straight Bert, I agree whole heartedly. I wanted to go out and scream at the top of my lungs at the injustice just put upon the citizens of Indiana. I never take it well when some self empowered asshole wipes their ass with the Constitution!
Most of the fellow 2A Hoosiers I know are pretty up in arms about this.
H.
Swell. Hope this doesn't spread here but I wouldn't count the Looper out.
Seems as though eminent domain is becoming increasingly popular among federal and state governments.
This is just another unintended consequence of the nanny state whereby you give up your rights in exchange for "security". Pretty soon the gov will be telling us how many undocumented workers we have to house.
What do the cops think about this? It makes their jobs easier, and screws the civilians, so it sounds like a win-win situation to me.

Wow! Not a single crazy sh#&bird in this thread stating you shouldn't be upset, if you have nothing to hide.
