Permit To Carry in Vehicle?

[chibabs]

Thank you for the add. I just got my first pistol this week and researching about the gun laws in Indiana. I know that we can open and concealed carry. But how about when in vehicle? Can we open and concealed carry loaded? Or unloaded. Sorry I saw a lot of articles that are different from each other. TIA

No permit or license is required to openly or concealed carry or transport a handgun in the state of Indiana, as long as you are not a prohibited person.

But if we want to bring it to other State like Kentucky or Ohio. We need to have a carry license?

Would a loaded Shockwave on the passenger side seat of a 1948 F4 be considered "in plain sight" and legal?
Just curious because the Shockwave hovers in that mysterious world of not this, but yet not that.

So does this mean that I can drive down the highway shaking my pistol at the other vehicles?

Obviously I know the answer but for some reason this is what my mind pictured when I read the OP.

I know. Different websites, different laws.

Indiana has constitutional carry for Indiana residents. You may need an Indiana LTCH (license to carry handgun) to travel to another state that honors our LTCH. Be sure to look up the laws for each state you travel to and travel through.

Thank you so much! I’m sorry for the newbie question, just wanted to make sure that I am abiding the law before I carry.

Looks like what you are looking at are old articles, or someone is posting info from old articles.

Look at this one which is current when the Indiana law changed in July of 2022.

As you will see this one is from the horse's mouth.

So that must be it. They’re still posting old laws on top of the new one. Thank you!

"This law DOES NOT allow everyone to carry a handgun as Indiana
law contains certain criteria which must be met for a person to legally carry within the state.
A person MUST NOT be a PROHIBITED PERSON as defined by IC 35-47-2-1.5.
... An Alien"

I KNEW IT! The Indiana legislature is privy to information, the general public isn't.
Either that, or they're covering their butt, "just in case".

I think the OP needs to stop worrying about Indiana Law and truly consider the laws of his destination.

I wonder, how do you plan or how did you plan on transporting that firearm?

As they say, "Knowledge is the First Line of Defense!"
Acquire as much knowledge as you can...read online, take classes, ask question, etc.

Here's a decent article from the Indiana Responsible Gun Owners website that covers Indiana Use of Force guidelines pretty well:

The “Use of Force Continuum” and Its Relationship to Indiana Law – Indiana Responsible Gun Owners

myirgo.com

Indiana Constitutional Carry is limited to Indiana residents and does not allow for carry outside of the State of Indiana.
The United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) has a great interactive reciprocity map for the states and which states have reciprocity with another: https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/re...6.1370771056.1703424190-2141262949.1690335373 that can be very helpful in providing information as to what different states require and will accept.

Be sure to look at the individual states requirements, such as, in Indiana, one can carry at age 18, but not purchase from an FFL until age 21. Many states (MI, VA are 2 that I know of) that require one to be age 21 to carry in their state (their minimum age requirement) so, even if you have an Indiana Carry License, if you are under age 21, you still cannot carry a handgun in their state, even with an Indiana Carry License, as you would not be considered 'of age' in that state, regardless of whether you have an Indiana Carry License or not.

Also there is confusion with the part of Indiana Code that deals with hunting and ATVs.
