Greetings,
New here, but thought I'd answer a querry I noticed earlier about Indiana.
Yes. At the current time, you must be licensed to carry in Indiana. But any current law-abiding citizen can get one.
And also, Yes. Indiana is..........Right to Carry, Shall Issue. Not like Ohio which is Right to Carry, May Issue. Or worse yet, Illinois (and others): No Right, No Issue.
And again yes, there is a price ($30 for four years, and $150 lifetime) All States are looking for money in any regard. Indiana also does no background check, no paid training, you don't have to notify an officer you are armed if pulled over........(although, that can be a good thing. It's gotten me out of ONE speeding ticket that I know of, when I handed the officer my Gun-Card)........but those are just the basics.
Most people view this as a "Concealed Carry Weapons" permit, but it is as it states: "Right to Carry a Handgun". It allows you to:
1. Carry Concealed.
2. Carry Open.
3. Carry in your car/vehicle/motorcycle/boat.
4. Carry to a school function. (If only dropping off or picking up said schoolchild)
5. You CAN carry in a bar, or any establishment that serves alcohol. (Although I would recomend going concealed.)
Indiana Law states only place you cannot carry, with few exceptions:
Places off-limits when carrying:
1. In or On School Property.
2. On a school bus
3. In or on property that is being used by a school for a school function
4. Private School(IC 20*9.1*1*3) & (IC 35*41*1*24.7)
5. Head Start (IC 35*41*1*24.7)
6. Preschool (IC 35-41-1-24.7)
7. IC 35*47*9*1Allows the carry of firearms by persons permitted to possess and who are transporting a person to or from school or a school function.
8. On an aircraft
9. Controlled access areas of an airport
10. During annual State Fair 80 IAC 4-4-4 (Must lock in vehicle)
11. Shipping port 130 IAC 4-1-8 (Controlled by Indiana Port Commission)
12. A riverboat Casino
13. Gov't buildings. ie: Court Houses, unless authorized.
All in all, Indiana isn't that bad. One of the best, actually.
