Just a little more information for my understanding. Did you arrive at the interpretation of this statute by yourself, from the ISP, a lawyer, or some other source? After reading the statute, I am not sure that it is talking about following the laws of your state while in Indiana, but more to do about Indiana's recognition of an out of state license and the acceptance of the procedures those states/countries have for obtaining a license.
I'm just looking for a little more information as I continue to evaluate the statute.
Thanks,

Recognition of retail dealers' licenses and licenses to carry handguns issued by other states

(b) Licenses to carry handguns, issued by other states or foreign countries, will be recognized according to the terms thereof but only while the holders are not residents of Indiana.
(emphasis mine)
If the Michigan CCW says you have to carry concealed, then you have to carry concealed while in Indiana.
I don't know how far a prosecutor could reasonably take this interpretation, but for instance, carry in a church without permission is illegal in Michigan. Even though it's not illegal in Indiana, it not "according to the terms" of the Michigan license. It also might be illegal to carry in Michigan State parks, and therefore concievably illegal for you to carry in Indiana State Parks. If you have any questions, please call Major Jerome Ezell at the ISP at 1-800-552-8917 (that's the number I was given earlier this year). |
