Just out of curiosity, which states have you lived in?
+1
Coming from MD, I am overjoyed by the laws here, but still know they are far from perfect.
Just out of curiosity, which states have you lived in?
Mill, no, not crazy at all and not restrictive. It makes a very bright line rule. If you have a LTCH, you can carry any pistol you legally have. If you do not have a LTCH, then you cannot carry/transport unless you fit into one of the several exceptions or the LTCH requirement does not apply to you.
This is isn't any other state, not Tejas, not Joe-juh, not Tinuhsee. This is Indiana, get the license. Kirk's First Law is in full effect.

Bill, this is just another example of the popular perception being grafted onto the actual law. Indiana has among the least restrictive carrying laws, but since you do not need a toter's permit in Tinuhsee or wherever, suddenly we are "restrictive" despite the citation to the Brady Bunch that you posted.
Aside: Yes, I do not understand why the Brady Bunch think we have a duty to retreat. The Indiana Supreme Court eliminated the duty to retreat in 1865.
But, this ties into Kirk's Second Law: if a state with a large number of electoral votes does something (i.e. Floriduh's elimination of the duty to retreat), then it is the first state in the Union to do something.
Nope. Sorry. Your best bet is to go with someone who has a license. Although, technically to be legal, he'd have to come to your house to pick you up, unless the range you were driving to had a gunsmith onsite.
which BTW New York State also has
I'd never heard this before about transporting a handgun in IN. So, if I'm taking my .22 Colt down to the in-laws farm to do some plinking I'm breaking state law? Am I hearing this correctly? Just want to get it right, if I need to get an LTCH then that's fine, but since I don't CC (and thus haven't paid much attention until now), and I've been in IN for <3 years, I'd like to do what's right.

One big difference I have encountered while traveling is this stupid law about not being in posesion of a firearm when alochol is sold by an establishment.

WOW, thanks for the info. I had no idea... I assumed that since it was in a case, unloaded, in the trunk, all would be fine. Looks like I'll be searching the threads about getting an LTCH. Or maybe just a CCW since I'm putting out $$'s to carry it anyway.
