18 and over IIRC.So as the title says, what is the law for underage children carry? Is it only constitutional carry for over 18?
Why would they be carrying a long gun? I mean, it may be legal (don't know for sure about <18) but, why? Unless it's a Kyle Rittenhouse situation I guess...Sorry I mean shotguns, rifles, black powder, etc…
Well way back when I was aprox 12 or 13 was coon hunting and decided I would walk the road back home, rifle in hand. It was about 0300 a car drove by and was not long after a county officer showed up. At that time his only concern was if my parents knew where I was at. I had my dog with me and a few dead coons so it was obvious what I was up to.Why would they be carrying a long gun? I mean, it may be legal (don't know for sure about <18) but, why?

Yeah, I guess I've done the same. My buddies and I would walk down our road carrying a shotgun with a rifle slung, wearing hunting vests bulging with shotgun shells and a 500 rd. box of .22 lr. Nobody even blinked back then. Today's climate (at least in urban or suburban areas) is different though.Well way back when I was aprox 12 or 13 was coon hunting and decided I would walk the road back home, rifle in hand.

Seems they are expected to rely on the “alternative” methods. (Pepper spray knife etc etc) Funny a 17yo girl cannot use a gun to defend themselves, does not make much sense to me. But they can join the military? No one bats an eye when the brinks man uses a firearm to guard money…………. But would lose their MINDS if a “minor” was allowed the tools to protect themselves.Yeah, just wondering when my daughters will be allowed to legally defend themselves when out on their own. So it’s not really constitutional carry in Indiana, since the right to bear arms is infringed by age requirements. Do any states allow children to carry? And thanks Houghmade for the laws.
I’m confused, are you expecting them to be “out on their own” before they’re 18?Yeah, just wondering when my daughters will be allowed to legally defend themselves when out on their own. …
I mean there are people under 18 living alone / fending for themselves…. But I would guess op is meaning out and aboutI’m confused, are you expecting them to be “out on their own” before they’re 18?
Edit: Now that I think about it, maybe you just mean ”out and about?”
