About Guns (in General)

ABOUT GUNS:

Where do I register my guns?
You don't. There is no Indiana state or federal law that requires you to register any of your guns, with the exception of NFA items. If you can legally carry a firearm, chances are pretty good you can legally own a firearm. When you purchase a handgun from an FFL holder (several private citizens as well as every gun shop), you will have to fill out a form and pass a NICS check, which essentially checks to make sure you have no felonies or history of mental illness. If you purchase your firearm from a private individual without an FFL, this is considered a FTF (face-to-face) transaction, and legally requires no paperwork, although many insist it is prudent to give and/or receive a bill of sale (BoS) when doing this sort of transaction. Please note: if you intend to carry your newly purchased, completely unregistered handgun, even just to the range to practice with it, you are required to have a License to Carry a Handgun (LTCH). As always, IANAL. YMMV.

Which is better? Glock, SIG or HK? (All other manufacturers need not apply.)
SIG. But I'm biased. Actually, if you go based on popularity of carry, it's Glock of the 19 variety. /sigh

What is an NFA item?
Anything that is covered by the National Firearms Act of 1934, such as machine guns, suppressors (aka "silencers"), short-barreled rifles, etc.

So about this Assault Weapon Ban...
Bringing up the AWB of 1994 is a bit of a hot topic around here, especially in light of the current political climate. You'll find dozens of posts where the AWB was brought up and ranted about for pages and pages and pages. Just to give you a taste, here's a thread where a new member brought it up just to "light a fire" so he could make an informed decision in voting for the presidential race.

What is the best ammo to carry?
The kind that fits in your gun without blowing up your gun.
On calibers specifically: http://ingunowners.com/forums/carry_..._-_suarez.html


Can I sell/purchase a gun out of state?
Handguns through an FFL only. Long guns may or may not be legal, depending on who you ask. USC18 Section 922 suggests even long guns must go through an FFL.

Can I buy a handgun without having a valid LTCH?
Yes.

Oh, NO! Some scumbag stole my gun! Can INGO help get it back?
Well, you obviously need to report the theft to your local law enforcement agency, but we have a way to alert your fellow INGO members of the theft so that they can be on the lookout for it. PM a moderator with all of the information and it will be posted to the Official Firearm Theft Report Thread.
