# Bye Bye, Bayh

![](<https://www.outdoorlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/23/WT4IS2Y7HGTZCZCKYERRPNT2HA.jpg>)

Three of four potential replacements for liberal Indiana senator are pro-gun rights.

Democratic Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana is leaving office. Gun Owners of America rated his voting record an "F" and the NRA, a "D-".

Three of four potential replacements for Bayh, including two Democratic congressmen, have solid pro-gun rights voting records. Former Senator Dan Coats, a Republican who has been named as a potential replacement, had a horrible voting record on Second Amendment issues when he was in office.

As Guns Rights Examiner David Codrea wrote in his Feb.16 break-down of Bayh's potential successors: "Just Say No -- to Coats."
