1. Well yea but I didnt think I would offend anyone. Most people that I know of just refer to it as a CC or CCW. I know its not technically right but I didnt think it to be offensive..1. You have a LTCH not a CC
2. As previously stated you can purchase from an individual (i.e. INGO classifieds when you hit 50 posts)
3. Who's firearm do you carry at work, is it company owned?
4. Why are you asking about shootings involving carriers under 21? Planning on shooting somebody up?
Yes you can2. I can't because I dont have a FFL and I'm not 21.
^^thisAnyone over 18 can buy a handgun from a private individual, just not from a FFL, at 20 you CAN buy a handgun legally, Face to Face sales are legal in Indiana
I cant buy a gun because I'm not 21. I'm lost.

3.It's my bosses? I work at a small tattoo shop. I don't know what it'd be classified as. He used to be a police officer and my license says "...any handgun lawfully possessed.."
4. No. Why would I ask about young people defending themselves if I wanted to shoot people up? I like being informed about the in's and out's of protecting myself. That is why I am on these forums. Weird huh?
Does anyone know the statute so I can show him?
IC 35-47-2-7
Prohibited sales or transfers of ownership
Sec. 7. (a) Except an individual acting within a parent-minor child or guardian-minor protected person relationship or any other individual who is also acting in compliance with IC 35-47-10, a person may not sell, give, or in any other manner transfer the ownership or possession of a handgun or assault weapon (as defined in IC 35-50-2-11) to any person under eighteen (18) years of age.
Ok it totally came off like you were trying to be some internet-operator.Not busting your balls just trying to clear a few things up. I mentioned the LTCH vs. CC thing because it is a relevant issue if you are trying to pursued dear ol' dad that you are responsible enough to carry a gun (trust me speaking from personal experience.) If you aren't 100% confident and right in quoting the law etc etc he won't be either, and if he's like some in my family he'll look it up to prove you wrong. Using proper terms and codes etc. is always helpful in a discussion or debate, and educate your buddies who call it otherwise. There are some not so great stereotypes about gun owners/carriers not limited to but including: dumb rednecks, dumb gang bangers, total wackjobs... the list goes on. The point being that we have to as a community continue to demonstrate our knowledge of the laws especially the name of the permit that allows us to carry. Our ability to communicate to the general public in a knowledgeable fashion will go a long way in soothing over some of these stereotypes that lead to infringements on our rights.
Sorry for the rant, just want you to understand where I was coming from.
As far as purchasing a gun, you are welcome to from an individual as stated by previous posters. Just make sure if you are living at home that pops ok's you buying a gun. It's not worth getting kicked out over, or trying to hide (again speaking from experience.)
Have you articulated to the Old Man why you want to / feel the need to carry a firearm? and "Because I can." May work here on the net, but when actually trying to convince someone my guess is it ain't gonna fly.
In regards to incidents with people under the age of 21, watch the news. They happen all the time. However they rarely involve a legally owned or carried firearm. #1 way to defend yourself is planning and situational awareness. Again not trying to bust balls, just trying to help. Took me a while to figure some of this stuff out, and I learned the hard way. (If you want more free advice pm me)
Welcome, glad to have here
