How about every 'household' .
I doubt this bill goes anywhere though.
There was a city ordinance somewhere that required
gun ownership.
Certainly much better than the other extreme. Why not mandate the SR25?

Excellent . Tax refunds for arming oneself .

Another mandate?

If it gets through committee he plans on scrapping the mandate and just focusing on tax break.
I mean. What? This is *almost* as anti-liberty as taking away AR-15's. What a terrible idea. And no. The government should not be giving tax breaks for owning guns. Just like the government should not be giving tax breaks to buy Teslas or homes or solar panels or having kids and just like the government shouldn't be putting extra taxes on things like sodas or cigarettes.

Never looked into it before, can a state require it's citizens to serve in it's militia?
ETA: Why yes, in Colonial times every able-bodied man was required to serve and furnish weapons.

The Constitution requires Congress to arm the militia and the law defines all able bodied adult males as the militia.

Preparation for secession?
Per zerohedge, bill was introduced to highlight absurdity of gun control laws. McDaniel says if it was actually going to advance in the state legislature, he would strip out the mandate and just focus on the tax credit.
Indiana state constitution specifies age for militia . Age 17 your in . Governor is commander in chief . There will be an Adjutant General who will be appointed by the Gov . 1974 amended to allow conscientious objectors a pass . Indiana also has an Indiana Guard Reserve that serves under the Governor . Ist Brigade HQ Fort Wayne , three Battalions , 2nd Brigade HQ Lafayette , 3rd Brigade HQ Bedford , four Battalions , 4th Brigade HQ Shelbyville , three battalions . These are to cover ea quarter of the state .

Get rid of the mandate and it'll be all good.

It has more standing for a mandate than health insurance . LOL , based on that alone any court challenge would be a waste of time .

Honestly if they're gonna do this, they might as well revive the militia (I'm talking about formal militias the way they used to be run by the states, not treating it like some secret club where you dress up in camo and shoot pop bottles). I think formal recognition by the states would go a long way in taking some of the taboo factor away from the concept of militias. They could always do some sort of conscientious objector exemption like Kennesaw, GA has.

SB613 is huge! Every state should be "shooting" for these bills passing their house, senate, and then the governor's desk.

Kennesaw GA.
Kennesaw is noted for its unique firearms legislation in response to Morton Grove, Illinois' law mandating gun prohibition. In 1982 the city passed an ordinance [Sec 34-21]:[21]
(a) In order to provide for the emergency management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.
(b) Exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who suffer a physical or mental disability which would prohibit them from using such a firearm. Further exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who are paupers or who conscientiously oppose maintaining firearms as a result of beliefs or religious doctrine, or persons convicted of a felony.
Crime statistics
In 2001, violent crime rates were about 60% below national and state rates. Property crime rates were from 46–56% below national and state rates. From 1999 to 2011, Kennesaw crime statistics reported that both property and violent crimes had decreased, though from 2003 to 2008 the trend in both violent and property crime rates slightly increased.[19] The increase in crime rate overall is attributed to the population growth rate of 37.41%. The population growth rate is much higher than the state average rate of 18.34% and is much higher than the national average rate of 9.71%.[20]
I found a few other cities with like ordinances; mandatory and suggested firearm (and ammo thereof) .
The one I that I was thinking of was Spring City Utah, but yea, it looks like Kennesaw started
the concept in 'this' era. I would imagine that up through the 1800's each household had
several to many firearms, in all rural towns.
Nelson, Georgia
2013.
Mandatory
Nucla, Colorado
Year ; 2013
Gun Barrel City, Texas
Virgin, Utah
year; 2000
Mandatory
Spring City changed the ordinance wording to
recommend 'firearm in every home'
Requiring every man to have an AR-15 seems a bit excessive.
A Remington 300 is more than adequate, if this bill's intention is to reduce the local deer population.
