I need Indiana laws help

[alduane]

The only areas of Indiana where there can be blanket prohibitions on OC are in a couple of bastions of Liberalism and economic depression (but I repeat myself) where the politicos from there managed to carve out an exception for themselves in the otherwise state-wide pre-emption law. Unless you're in Gary or South Bend, I think you're pretty damn safe on a city street with your Indiana (or absolutely any other) gun license.

The only restriction that I know of that South Bend has "carved" out for itself is the City County building since it's attached to the Courthouse. Indiana's passed a pretty broad preemption law concerning local ordinances.

Indiana law standing mute on open vs. concealed carry has been the standard for decades. That could mitigate or militate. Either it's a common fact drilled into every graduate of every police academy graduate in the state, or it's deemed so obvious that no one ever bothers to mention it to the new recruits. Regardless, you bring yourself to the attention of police, you're taking your life and liberty in your hands. Feel like rolling the dice

Or as Dirty Harry would say, "Do I feel lucky, well do ya?" Unless you have a real need to carry openly, I personally believe it's better if no one ever knows you're armed until you need to use it.

I would also keep in mind the fact that Indiana issues a permit to carry a handgun and not a concealed carry permit like Michigan does. This could lead to the conclusion that if you need a permit to carry a handgun then you would need a permit to carry either openly or concealed.

What are the Indiana laws regarding open carry I'm new to carrying a firearm and would like to know what my limits are for not concealing in this state

If you're wondering if Indiana has laws like some States that penalize you for not concealing your firearm if you have a permit, then the answer is no.

Here is the link to the law in Indiana. In short, you must be licensed to carry concealed or open. Indiana is a shall issue, easy to get a license if your not a felon. Two types hunting or personal protection.
