  • During an April 2015 interview, Mitch Daniels was asked to comment on Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act, but he "didn’t want to comment on the law itself or how it was handled, saying it wasn’t his place to do so," according to The Indy Channel. Daniels said, "When people make big decisions -- where are we going to put this factory, where are we going to put this headquarters, they're looking at what are your taxes, do you have crazy regulations or sensible ones, do you have an out-of-control litigation climate or not? Do you have a lot of infrastructure to get our materials in and our products out or not? And on and on and on, Indiana checks all those boxes, and these are the things that matter the very most, and yes, we want to make sure those perceptions are equally positive."[2]
Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
  • In 2011, Mitch Daniels signed Senate Enrolled Act No. 1, which extended the right of gun owners to protect their homes from "unlawful intrusion by another individual or public servant."[3]
  • In 2011, Daniels signed a Senate Bill 292. The bill prohibited local units of government from enacting regulations on firearms.[4]
  • In 2010, Daniels signed House Bill 1065, which permitted employees to keep a weapon inside a locked vehicle at their place of work.[5]
Crime and justice
  • In a CNN interview with Piers Morgan on September 21, 2011, Mitch Daniels acknowledged that he supported the death penalty, stating that he "believe(s) there are circumstances in which it is warranted."[6]
