Possibly silly question

[Cratchelow]

I live in Illinois(I accept your condolences).I have a PA CCW permit and can CC in Indiana.I am unsure of the vehicle transport laws,however.Do I have to lock my handgun in the trunk,or since I have a "permit" can I legally have the gun on my person while driving once I cross into Indiana?
Thanks

And In accepts PA CCW so you can carry it in Indiana....

But make sure someone smart replies.... I rely on maps too much...

Indiana accepts licenses from ALL other states. If you have a license from ANY state you may carry openly or concealed in Indiana. Here are a few other tid-bits:

Indiana has a License to Carry a Handgun. There is no mention of concealment in the Indiana Code. It is not a CCW law. You may carry openly or concealed.

You do not have to notify an officer you are carying unless he/she asks if you are carrying a weapon.

You may carry into a restaurant, bar or night club AND EVEN DRINK AT THE BAR while carrying in Indiana. ( I have to say this will come under extreme scrutiny should you end up using your gun!)

"NO GUNS" signs have no weight of law in Indiana. but if you are asked to leave GET OUT! You are tresspassing.

You may drive on to school (K-12) property for the purpose of picking up students, but you may not leave the controls of the vehicle. You MAY NOT carry at any other school function on or off school property.

College carry is legal in Indiana, but may result in penalties from your college if you violate their rules on carry.

You may carry into a bank in indiana.

For more information, the best source of info on the subject is the book Indiana Firearms Law by Brian Ciyou.

Happy travels!
