New Indy Resident

vicdub85 · 09-07-2008

I just moved to Indianapolis a month ago and quite frankly, I don't feel very safe here. I've grown up in a upscale city in California all my life and moved to Indiana to attend Purdue. I've just recently graduated and landed a new job here in Indianapolis where it is quite different.

A few questions that I have:
I have gotten a few drinking related misdemeanors in college, will this affect my ability to get a CC license?

When I do get a CC license and I get pulled over, should the first thing out of my mouth is that I have a concealed weapon?

First: WELCOME to Indiana and the forum.

First off Indiana issues a "License To Carry Hnadgun" Chances are that minor misdemeanors will not keep you from getting a LTCH. I would strongly suggest two things for you to read before applying.

http://www.in.gov/isp/

Go down to "Firearms Licensing" and read the regulations etc.

Either buy or go to the library and get a copy of:

Indiana handgun Law by Bryan Lee Ciyou

The only time you have to notify a policeman that you are armed is if he asks you.

Hope this helps and welcome to the land of freedom

I might add without stepping on AFAICYS toes that this is regarding Indiana. In some of the other states that you can carry under Indianas LTCH you may be required to notify when in contact with LE.

to the forum.

That's the same thing I was thinking.

Maybe if you live on the near East side, but most of the surrounding metro areas are pretty safe-feeling, at least IMHO.

I live next to the canal in a very $$$ apartment. I feel safe in the downtown area but when I venture outside the area, i.e across the river, I don't feel safe. I like to get cheap groceries and hand wash my car and that requires going to some areas where I wouldn't like going.
