Nor does my home state even have a LTCH law. I do however hold two non-resident licenses and do carry when in states that honor my licenses. Again, I'm not a lawyer, but it is my understanding that when carrying in any state, you carry according to the laws of the state you are in, regardless of the state your license was issued from.

If you follow what has been said here, you could bring your IN license to IL and carry according to IN laws. Unfortunately, I don't think that will work. Going further, how can IN troopers be expected to know MI law and enforce it in IN??

Last reference, in the 2007 edition of the Traveler's Guide to the Firearms Laws of the Fifty States by J. Scott Kappas, on page two he says: "When carrying concealed outside of one's vehicle in a state that provides reciprocity, the traveler should be aware that, in most instances, he carries subject to the restictions imposed on concealed carry in that state."

I'll bet someone checks in here soon that knows for sure.

AB

My take on the Statute:

I think that the statute is saying that IN will recognize any other license, regardless of what is required for the holder to qualify for that license. I.E., some licenses require fingerprints, some classes, some live fire training. But even if the non-IN license is issued under less restrictive rules than IN, like VT or AK, they are still recognized.

Make sense??
