Indiana Handgun License Notes
1. Indiana recognizes handgun carry permits from every state and foreign country, but only as long as the person holding the permit is not a resident of Indiana.
2. Anyone not residing in Indiana but has a place of business in Indiana is eligible to receive a license; the requirements are the same as they are for those who do reside in Indiana.
3. When carrying within the state of Indiana on an out of state permit, the permittee must carry in accordance with the terms of the permit; for instance, if the permit says “concealed handgun permit,” then it must be concealed. If it simply says license to carry handgun, it can then be carried either openly or concealed.

“What places are off-limits when carrying a concealed weapon in Indiana?

…

8. On an aircraft”

Is this wording correct? I was certain that I’d read somewhere in the IC’s (and now can’t place where) that the wording was “Commercial Aircraft”. This ‘may’ seem like I’m splitting hair’s, but there is a HUGE difference between a GA “Private Aircraft” and a “Commercial Aircraft”. Not to mention, does Indiana distinguish between a Delta or Southwest Airline “Commercial Aircraft” and Jim Bob’s Cropdusting and Commuter “Commercial Aircraft”? I know that there are some FBO’s that offer charter services (which fall under “Commercial Aircraft”) that wouldn’t care if their passengers are carrying.

  schools, school busses.casinos, gov. buildings. airports, planes, river port auth.areas, state fairs. search indiana gun carry laws and youll get a full list and answers for all questions
- Nrhxxx
  
  It is commercial, but Jim Bob’s Cropdusting and Commuter is considered commercial. It’s pretty much any aircraft you have to buy a ticket for. If you or a friend own a plane you can have it on there, just not one that you buy a seat on.

You also can not carry in a school, court house or post office.

what happens if my parents address is my permanent address on my license, but they move out of state…what should i do in that case?
Treezy2010

i have a gun permit but im 19 can i carry a concealed weapon?
- Abgewichst
  
  As long as you have a Personal Protection carry permit, you may carry a handgun openly or concealed.
  - diesel73power
    
    Concealed carry means concealed carry you can not openly carry with a concealed carry permit
- Truckie
  
  No. You must be 21, and have a valid LTCH (Unlimited) to carry a firearm. If your 19 the most you can hold is a Hunting, Target (Limited) License. Which only allows you to go hunting, or go to the range, with a rifle only.
  - DARQWEZ
    
    YOU ARE SO WRONG DUDE
  - Trltires
    
    its 18
  - theoutdoorsman
    
    thats not true. if your over 18 you can legally posses a shotgun or rifle without any kind of license. as far as carrying a hand gun bry9371 is correct with his reply.
  - David17wade
    
    not true im 20 a i have a carry permit, u jus got to be 21 to buy a handgun. you can be 18 a buy an assault rifle just not pistols.
  - fireman36
    
    Yeah.. you’re wrong. My (19 year old at the time) fiancee walked right in and applied for hers, and got it. And is now legally carrying my xd40 on a daily basis.
    - Dwaynetyree
      
      thats what i have springfield xd40 great gun
  - Jaco John
    
    NOT TRUE, ive had my licenses since i was 18 and i carry everyday.
  - Dwaynetyree
    
    you only have to be 18 to get a license to carry but you have to be 21 to buy a gun
  - Axleman94
    
    This information above is outdated, you can hold and carry a concealed weapon at the age of 18 in INDIANA, Truckie needs to learn his updated information.
  - kyle
    
    Incorrect! I have had a personal protection permit since my 18th day u just can’t purchase a handgun till 21… My dad bought me a glock compact 27 for my 18th day and I carried it until I turned 21 and was able to by a member…
- Bry9371
  
  As long as you have a weapons permit and are 18 years or older you are legaly allowed to carry a handgun. However you are not allowed to purchase a handgun until you are 21.

    Who may not be eligible for a license to carry?
    IC 35-47-2-3
    (g) A license to carry a handgun shall not be issued to any person who:
    (1) has been convicted of a felony;
    (2) has had a license to carry a handgun suspended, unless the person’s license
    has been reinstated;
    (3) is under eighteen (18) years of age;
    (4) is under twenty-three (23) years of age if the person has been adjudicated a
    delinquent child for an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult; or
    (5) has been arrested for a Class A or Class B felony, or any other felony that was
    committed while armed with a deadly weapon or that involved the use of violence, if a
    court has found probable cause to believe that the person committed the offense
    charged.
    In the case of an arrest under subdivision (5), a license to carry a handgun may be
    issued to a person who has been acquitted of the specific offense charged or if the
    charges for the specific offense are dismissed.
    - Jerm92
      
      I have a felony, but it was over 10 years ago AND it was non-violent. I applied to ISP and told them all about it. I did it at L1 Identity Solutions. They said as long as you don’t lie about it and it was like that, it would more than likely be approved.
      The date of approval on my permit when I got it back was the very next day.
      - http://www.facebook.com/Texasrose2 Tracy Miller
        
        hi i just put in for my permit and i just saw what you wrote about having a felony and you got the permit anyways well i also have a felony from about 15 years ago non -violent so im hoping i get one…..are you able to buy a gun in indiana thanks tracy
- Devildogusmc08
  
  Yes you can carry in the state of Indiana at 18 with a valid license. However you can not purchase a handgun until you are 21. So the handgun you carry has to be “gifted” by someone over the age of 21 who legally purchased it. My father let me use one of his. And as stated above you can buy a rifle or shotgun at 18 and no license is necessary
  - NRA upstanding member
    
    Actually there is no Indian state law that says a person under 21 can not buy a handgun. It is in fact stated that the only requirement to buy any gun in the state of Indiana is that the person be 18 years of age with no felonies on their record. That being the case there is a federal law that constricts a licensed gun dealer from selling a handgun, or handgun ammunition to someone under 21. However a person at least 18 years old can in fact buy a handgun from a friend or acquaintance so long as said person is not a federally licensed firearm dealer and so being are in fact just a citizen selling his gun to another citizen.
  - http://www.facebook.com/big.gay.al Albert Lowe
    
    As I understand it, you have to be 21 to buy a handgun from an FFL dealer. Private transfers have a minimum age limit of 18.

I have received my ccw however it has been misplaced is it still legal for me to carry a gun even though the paper itself is not on me?
- Anonymous
  
  I would not even want to test that one…
  
  As far as I can tell, you can NOT carry without having the permit on your person.
- Truckie
  
  If you are in Indiana, you would have an LTCH. And you are required to carry your license and a government issued picture ID when ever you leave your privet property. Failure to present both will result in your arrest.
- Jaco John
  
  this is illegal, you must have your permit and valid id when carrying
  - Axleman94
    
    You also MUST have the permit on your person while carrying. Even though you have one, if it is not on you, they will take you to jail.
- Jerm92
  
  No. You have to have it on you.
- Ionshooter05
  
  And its not conceal carry its a permit to carry a firearm
- Bondmanjbd
  
  nope you better have that permit on your person
- bunk
  
  It’s the same as driving without having your drivers license on you. While you may be legally authorized to do so, without the proper documentation on you’r person it is illegal.

Can u carry an extended clip in gary indiana
Trltires

the price is 125 not what this says this site is so inaccurate
- Nrhxxx
  
  The price is $75 plus whatever local fees apply, which vary based on where you live.
- Vdragulav
  
  it is totally accurate. I paid $75 to the state $50 local and for quicker trunaround $10.95 for the electronic fingerprinting which was also easier. So yes you ar correct it cost $125 but they are referring here to state cost as local costs vary from county to county.
  - irritated
    
    applied for my lifetime ccw on Jan7. used the l1 electronic fingerprint place and everything. here it is feb 24 and STILL waiting. have called 2-3 times to check on the status and keep getting told they are behind so it’ll be 6 weeks…. call again and its 7 weeks….then 8 weeks. asked the lady why it keeps changing everytime i call and why cant they just be straight up with me and tell me they just don’t know. it’s not a big deal other than i don’t like paying extra for a service (expedited processing) for no reason.

      - esell
        
        I did finally get mine it took 16 after they cashed my money order. I suggest calling your bank to find out if your money order was cashed and when if possible. At least then you will know if the process has started. The number you need to call should be on the paper work you recieved when you applied.
      - Jim
        
        i did mine last february 12th…… got it february 19th. before the whole mad rush. which made me glad to ignore my families urging not to actually get it cuz there was no reason to carry a sidearm. but now they decided to get theres. after 19 weeks my mother just got hers and my brother is still waiting after 19 weeks.

        from time check was cashed it is now 21 weeks
      - GotMineWhileYouSheepleSlept
        
        Nice try, but Obama doesn’t have anything thing directly to do with the speed at which a state processes applications. I will concede that he and his policies have however driven up the number of applications and overwhelmed the process in many states, but they have no control over the process in any state much less Indiana which is about as Red as a state can get,

        I filled out pw and did L1 on Jan 17th and just got mine on Saturday 4-12 Just be patient because they are not giving status updates. If you did paper finger prints it will be even longer.
    - Tyler
      
      I filled out the application on sunday the 17th of feb. Electronic fingerprints through L1 on Feb 18th, and paid the local state fee on the 19th. It’s may 8th and still no word. When I call the number I don’t get a response.
    - CCW Holder
      
      I did mine March 3 and they said the wait period is up to 16 weeks. Even with L1
    - ps
      
      It took 5 or 6 weeks for mine – applied just after Thanksgiving. But give them a break. The Indiana State Police web site says they have received over 900,000 applications (nearly 14% of the state population) in the 4th quarter of 2012 and 1st quarter of 2013. That is pretty incredible considering there are only about 6,500,000 residents in the state.

  It there a site that has 100% facts about this. I would like to read more up on getting one ?
  - Guest
    
    google search your local laws, or just call them. If you live inside city limits it would be the city police, if you live in the country its the sheriffs office.
    - Hurst01
      
      Not totally accurate. I live in the city limits and had to go to the local Sheriffs office. I have had to go there the last four times I had it renewed. Now I have the lifetime permit. I have heard rumors that they are going to discontinue issuing the lifetime permit.
      - bunk
        
        Those rumors pop up every time a big election comes around, i.e. presidential, state Governor stuff like that. It’s just people freaking out over officials that are not gun friendly. The last discussion I heard about getting rid of the lifetime one was back in 2008.

  I don’t know how accurate this is, but I was told 5 years.
  I think what they really look at is are you “mentally incompetent”.
  Ref: IC 35-47-2-7Prohibited sales or transfers of ownership
  Sec. 7. (a) Except an individual acting within a parent-minor child or guardian-minor protected person relationship or any other individual who is also acting in compliance with IC 35-47-10, a

(b) It is unlawful for a person to sell, give, or in any manner transfer the ownership or possession of a handgun to another person who the person has reasonable cause to believe: (1) has been: (A) convicted of a felony; or (B) adjudicated a delinquent child for an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult, if the person seeking to obtain ownership or possession of the handgun is less than twenty-three (23) years of age; (2) is a drug abuser; (3) is an alcohol abuser; or (4) is mentally incompetent.

What are the laws for carrying a firearm in an automobile in Indiana>You may only carry a handgun in a vehicle with a Indiana hangun permit.

So you cant carry your gun on youre person in you’re car? with a pa or florida permit?
- NRA enthusiast
  
  Would just like to let you know Stanley that Indiana in fact accepts permits from all other states provided you are not a resident of Indiana. So yes, you can carry your weapon in your car using your Florida permit, so long as they would allow you to do so in Florida. As with dealing with an out of state permit one must adhere to all the rules and specifications of the issuing state regardless of what state one is currently located in. But I say again, if you are, or become a resident of the state of Indiana you will require an Indiana License to Carry a Handgun in order to carry.
  - Dunn46
    
    Hey I bought me a hand gun at a local gun store and I asked the owner if i could open carry and he said no the gun had to be concealed. I live in Indiana and i have a lifetime license to carry.How do I find out for sure
    - George
      
      You can “open carry” in Indiana, though what would be the point of this. You should conceal your weapon and not flag yourself as a threat to thieves or an idiot to others.
      - Axleman94
        
        Open carry is not posing as a threat, Open carry is for gun owners who are not skilled enough to draw and fire a weapon from inside the pant, where ever that may be. To open carry only says that the carrier is prepared, and is willing to use it if need be. A con of that though is that every police officer that you pass WILL card you for your permit, so be prepared. I myself carry inside the pany on my left side. With the proper practice and training, you can learn how to draw and fire from that position.
      - Arrowmaker61
        
        i open carry its more comfortable have been carrying for 35 years has nothing to do with skill ishoot cowboy and tacktical
      - Jacob Lively
        
        Regardless of WHO you are, it takes longer to draw concealed than it does from open carry. Plus more chance of snags getting out of shirt. Has nothing to do with skill. When it counts, open is the ONLY logical choice. To argue this point is just naive, and arrogant. I shoot everything possible and have for quite some time. Consistent Half dollar groups @ 25yrd shooting single exposure reflexive fire.
      - Fdjackson
        
        If I was this stupid, I’d keep it to myself. Try drawing and firinf a weapon from your panties, just after you’ve been the first and only one shot, because your non-concealed weapon was an obvious threat to the “sportsman” who decided to rob the store you just entered.
      - GArmy7118
        
        Recently took a course with a certified NRA trainer (retire policeman). He said you should carry concealed for the same reasons Axleman94 stated. My advice, get lots of training and practice with someone who knows the pros and cons of both.
      - Bondmanjbd
        
        also remember if u are carrying one open u are going to be the first person that gets shot if you are in a store when a thug comes in to rob it because you are his main threat so hide the gun and use the element of surprise
    - Dragonmaster
      
      Indiana has no concealed carry law you can open carry

I’m in Ohio, travel into Indiana alot, both in car and motorcycle, so,if I’m inside Indiana in or on either vehicle, do I carry the hand gun on me, or take it off and carry on the seat or glove box, in Ohio I carry the revolver on me.

I have just moved to Ohio but have not established Ohio residency yet by getting an Ohio drivers license. I would like to get an Indiana carry license because you do not have to take a $120 class to get your license. Can I get my Indiana carry permit and will it still be valid when I do establish Ohio residency in a month from now or am I just screwed and have to get an Ohio permit?
- http://www.facebook.com/people/Andreas-Wente/1404066696 Andreas Wente
  
  Ohio does not allow licensees from Indiana to carry in Ohio. You will be required to get an Ohio permit, or a non-resident permit from a state that has reciprocity with Ohio, such as Florida.

To Anthony, Legally you can’t carry a handgun while waiting for your application to be processed and have it in your hands. To carry legally you must have the Permit on your person. Now if you want to go to the shooting range and don’t have your permit yet you can put the handgun in the trunk and go to the shooting range. Should you get pulled over in the process MOST officers would OK the going or coming from the range,especially coming from and you have a receipt from said range that shows you have truly been there for shooting practice. Again, it is not really legal but……………………………………..

my property is next to a school. I live in a rural area a farm outside of city or town limits. What or is there a distance I need to be away from the school to target practice in the fields.

  Sonny,
  Your best source on this one would be to call ISP or DNR and ask them, get the name of the officer too when you ask. That’s a tricky situation, you don’t want to take our word for it.

I am under 21 and have a permit. Can i legally conceal/ carry someone else’s firearm? (a firearm belonging to friend over the age of 21); or does it have to be signed over to me? I have researched and haven’t found a solid answer. I really don’t want to find the answer out the hard way and be wrong. Thanks

  Indiana doesn’t force you to register firearms, it’s not like a car title or silliness like that. It’s like a hammer with a serial number, you can buy and sell all day long, no paperwork required unless you buy from an FFL dealer who then must do a background check… but that still does not in any way “tag” you as the gun’s owner. Just make sure you know absolutely that the gun is NOT stolen in case it is ever checked (and the serial number cannot be defiled in any way)… very important. Other than that, yes your buddy can give you a gun (long as you aren’t a felon and your license is revoked).

Prices are wrong on this. You only included the state fees, there are local fees. I will post them soon

The map is confusing and may have gotten a former marine arrested in NY. Above the map there is a red box that says, “States that honor IN permits.” If someone would interpret that the red box is the same as the red states in the map, meaning all red states honor the IN permit, that person would be wrong. All of the red states shown do not honor the IN permit, as shown in the small portion in the bottom right of the map.

Some needs to make a color change to this quickly before some else possibly misinterprets the map. Not sure if this is the website the former marine went to for his info, but it is a possibility. It’s the first place I came after reading his story, and when I first saw what I listed above, I was wondering for a moment, until I saw the small text at the bottom corner. What I had done was that I was using page down, and when I did that, the small text at the bottom of the map did not yet show up as it was below my page view. I realized after a few seconds that something didn’t see right so I scrolled down and noticed the index of colors.
- Runawaygun
  
  This is 5th grade map reading.. THE MAP’S KEY tells you the correct information not the heading, he is a Marine so he should know how to read a map. We did lots of land nav in SOI. Not to mention you are looking at maps 4 months past the arrest, which any information could have been changed/updated. I spend 6 years in the Marine Corps, I’m a Police Officer now and a CCW supporter in a state that does not allow CCW’s at all. BUT HE SCREWED UP. IT IS HIS RESPONSIBILITY to verify any information found on any website PERIOD. If I had to worry about where I carried I would check the requirements with competent authority in the area we I would be traveling. I’m not happy about his arrest, he was trying to do the right thing, it was legally justified. The colors of the heading and states are clearly shaded differently.
- BMC
  
  the top of the map that reads “States That Honor IN Permit” is a tab, not a heading. It shows the states that do and do not honor IN permits, where as the blue “tab” next to it shows states where IN permits are honored.

What does “IN Res Permits Only” mean?
Chrisrubio78

I have a question, I am 33 now. I was young and dumb, and was charged and convicted of selling drugs back in 2003 2004 ,will this affect me noq 8 years later. I’ve been clear from that mess for a long time .
guest

So if I’m in an authorized place (not a school, library, post office, or airport etc.) I can openly carry a firearm correct……that being said

What if I’m approached by an officer and he try’s to tell me that’s not allowed?

Reason why I’m asking is I live in northwest IN and my buddy had a regular belt holster on but was wearing a jacket and got hot took it off then stopped at a gas station were a cop just so happen to be there. He asked my buddy if he was police or security of some sort (which he is not) so he says no. The officer then tells him put his hand on the wall and surrender his fire arm. The officer then unloaded the weapon and dissembled it and handed it back to him in pieces and said you were not allowed to open carry in IN unless your police.

What’s up with that?

Is this just another police officer abusing power?

How do I go about a situation like this without things getting ugly?
- Anonymous
  
  I’d say the best thing to do (and I’m sure others will disagree), is to remain calm & polite. Allow the officer to feel you are not threatening (read questioning) his/her authority. Acquire his/her badge number. Leave the stop/scene as directed, with gun disassembled, if need be (put it back together as soon as practical and out of sight of said officer). At soonest convenience print up a copy of IN laws concerning concealed & open carry, take it to the police station that said officer works out of and ask to speak to his chief. Again, in a professional/polite manner have a discussion with the chief and show them the law. Show the chief that you are familiar with the laws concerning carry as they pertain to you, and ask that the officer also become more familiar with said laws.

Question, what does it mean for IN Res Permits Only:
Colorado, Florida, Michigan, New Hampshire? Am I allowed to carry in these states also with a legal Indiana permit or not?
- Bunk
  
  Yes you are allowed to carry as long as you are a legal resident within the state of Indiana, you must live in Indiana, not just own a business.
- the_boss
  
  Are you from Indiana? If so, FLA and MI, you can carry. Not sure about New Hampshire or Colorado, but I do suspect so. I’m from IL and I spend time in Michigan quite often. I am not allowed to carry in MI because I have an out-of-state permit. Michigan only honors out-of-state permits if you are a resident of the state to which your permit was issued
- bryant
  
  it means you must have an indiana driver’s license which means your an indiana resident.. if you carry in michigan, you can not carry openly like indiana, it must be concealed and you can not have one in the chamber like in indiana
  - http://www.facebook.com/big.gay.al Albert Lowe
    
    Actually, you’re wrong about Michigan. IF you visit here with an Indiana permit, you can carry openly, and you can have a round in the chamber.
    - FormerMichigander
      
      Michigan is an Open Carry state, however, it is not recommended that you open carry in downtown Detroit. Law Enforcement will stop you and are known for issuing citations for disturbing the peace just for open carrying even though they can’t cite you for the actual carry.

I currently have a Life Time personal protection permit from Indiana, I moved to and now am resident of North Carolina.

  As long as Indiana allows for Non-Residents to apply for and hold that permit, it is legal.

I have carried for a few years now. This is my take on open carry. I have been told by others who carry. Think as if you were a criminal. Say you were robbing a store. You would look everyone over. You see a guy with a gun (open carry) he would be your immediate threat and you would first eliminate the threat. Concealing removes the obvious and gives you a better chance at protecting yourself.

what about a shotgun with a pistol grip? I have my CCW i also have a new Mossberg Just in Case 2 which is a shotgun with a pistol grip.

Does anyone know for sure about this?
- http://www.facebook.com/jason.wampler.961 Jason Wampler
  
  Really? You actually want to carry a JIC II? A pistol grip shotgun is sold an an “other” which falls under handgun laws. But I’m guessing if a cop sees you carrying a shotgun walking down the street he’s going to arrest you and charge you with something like disturbing the public and then a judge will call you an idiot and take away you handgun permit and probably all your firearms. JIC II’s are meant for home protection, leave it there.

Question on the “mental illness” question, Indiana CCW online application: The “frequently asked questions” section explains for the “mental illness” question that it covers your lifetime and includes depression. I had depression treated by a psychiatrist in 1992. I have lost track of him, he must be in his 90′s if he is still alive so cannot get the records. I do still take a mild dose of anti depressant.

http://www.facebook.com/TPCARC Thomas Carter

The following clip from the article above is now incorrect:

“Are there any Indiana localites with varying laws?
East Chicago and Gary have assault weapons bans and Indianapolis prohibits the possession of weapons in city parks. Also, the city of Speedway has an old ordinance banning concealed carry (hasn’t been enforced since the state CCW law was enacted).”

The state of Indiana passed a law last year that removes localities/counties/cities to restrict gun carry laws further than what the state has already mandated. For instance, the city of Evansville can no longer restrict carrying in local parks or public places since the state of Indiana does not restrict it. This law went into effect in July of 2011. Just thought I’d share.

(2) in or on property that is being used by a school for a school
function; or

(3) on a school bus;

commits a Class D felony.

Need some clarification on (2) of Section 2.
“in or on property that is being used by a school for a school
function”

If I am legally carrying my concealed weapon in public restaurant or catering location that happens to have a private room within it with say the School prom or some other school function going on am I in violation of the law?

For those using MorphoTrust (formerly L-1 Fingerprinting Solutions)–11 to 13 weeks from the date your money order was cashed.
