Carrying a gun
Indiana needs a license for most methods of carrying a gun. Indiana's law is silent on how to bring; Therefore, the law includes open carry, hidden carry, carry vehicle, and case carry locked. There are exceptions to carry unloaded, inaccessible, and secured guns in a case in a vehicle, on your own property, from a place of purchase and to a firearm for training purposes.
Indiana is a "must issue" state for License To Carry a Pistol. License to carry will be issued to individuals aged 18 or over who meet a number of legal requirements. Currently both unlimited and unlimited lifetime licenses are available.
Reasons for disqualification include a belief for a crime or for a rude domestic battery. The license may also be refused if the applicant has been arrested for violent crime and "the court has found a possible cause to believe that the person commits an offense charged". Documented drug violence within a specified time span is disqualification, as documented evidence of "a person's inclination to violence or emotional instability".
Indiana residents, or non-residents with "regular business places" in Indiana, must obtain an Indiana license. Applications for licensing should be made to the local police department, or none of that, to the local police department. A four-year and lifetime permit is issued to Indiana residents. Residents from outside the country can only be granted a four-year license, minus the Active Duty Military stationed in Indiana. Active military assignments stationed in Indiana may apply for a lifetime license through the local municipal or regional police department.
Indiana legal standing mute vis-ÃÆ' -vis long gun carry. There are some regulations of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), but this only applies to DNR properties or to hunters. In general, the possession of a long weapon is legal whether the weapon is good to a person or in a person's motor vehicle, whether or not loaded, hidden or not. There are additional rules about gun ownership on ATVs and snowmobiles.
Restricted location
It is illegal for anyone, except for law enforcement officers and officials of authorized school resources, to own firearms at school property (K-12 and day care) or on school buses, except that the owners of legitimate weapons may have weapons in the vehicle they are on school property provided that the gun is kept outside of a clear vision in a person's locked vehicle or that the driver is simply transporting someone to, or from, a school event. Also prohibited from carrying firearms on commercial aircraft or at airport-controlled sections, on river cruises, at Indiana State Fair, courthouse and Indiana Statehouse and Government Center. Takes on the property of the Army Corps of Engineers which includes Brookville Lake, Cagles Mill Lake, Cecil M. Harden Lake, J. Edward Roush Lake, Lake Mississinewa, Monroe Lake, Patoka Lake, and Salamonie Lake are limited by CFR Title 36, Chapter 111, Section 327.
Private businesses may restrict or ban firearms on their property. Nevertheless, the 2010 law prohibits employers to fire employees due to possession of firearms in a vehicle on business property. In addition, employers should not ask employees about possession of firearms and/or ammunition.
Ownership and purchase
A firearm dealer or individual individual shall not sell firearms to a person less than 18 years of age, or less than 23 years if the buyer "decides a naughty child for an act that would be a crime if committed by an adult", or for a person who mentally incompetent or a drug or alcohol abuser.
All NFA-authorized weapons and devices are legal in Indiana.
Reciprocity
Indiana respects all other state gun licenses, though not all other states respect the Indiana license. Since there is no obligation for a single country to notify other countries of any change in their weapons laws, the Indiana State Police is not trying to trace this information. The Illinois Arms Owner Identity Card (FOID) allows Illinois citizens to buy and own firearms and ammunition. FOID is not a license to carry a gun, therefore it is not respected as such by Indiana, but the Illinois license to carry a hidden weapon, first issued in February 2014, is respected like any other country.
The following countries have established arrangements in which they recognize or respect the permits or licenses issued by the State of Indiana: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi , Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Armor License Statistics (Pistol)
In January 2013, the Indiana State Police Weapon Section began publishing a quarterly report showing the number of active gun licenses held by Indiana residents. As of December 31, 2015, there were 661,334 active licenses to carry firearms issued by Indiana, with 23.8% being spent on women. By 2015, 5.4% of all applicants are rejected for various reasons, 15.5% of rejected applicants are women.
Loss of Firearms
Both Indiana and Federal laws restrict purchases and holdings under certain circumstances. Federal law prohibits the possession of firearms for life by those convicted of crimes and for those convicted of minor offenses involving domestic violence. Indiana's law prohibits the following:
- IC 35-47-2-1 prohibits carrying a gun or possession in a residence by those punished for domestic batteries.
- IC 35-47-4-6 declares that it is a Class A offense for someone convicted of a domestic battery to own a firearm.
- IC 35-47-2-7 prohibits the transfer or sale of firearms to anyone who has a criminal conviction.
- IC 35-47-4-5 prohibits possession of firearms for "serious serious crimes" beliefs.
While Indiana's laws reflect federal law for the most part, it does not prohibit them with non-violent criminal offenses from possession of firearms. Therefore, a person with non-violent crime in Indiana will be allowed to own a firearm under Indiana law, but because federal law prohibits ownership in this case, that person will not be able to buy firearms because buying firearms is subject to federal. legal and background checks of the NICS.
Armor Recovery
Because firearm rights are governed by state and federal laws, whether one can restore those rights can be a complicated question even to be answered by a lawyer. In some circumstances one may be able to restore their right of Indiana while not fully restoring their federal rights.
For those prohibited ownership due to beliefs for domestic batteries, the Indiana Code Ã,§ 35-47-4-7 allows one to petition a court for restoration of rights after 5 years from the date of confidence.
The restoration of the rights of those convicted of crimes is usually prohibited by federal law. This arises because federal law does not recognize the ban as a restoration of firearms if the ban does not fully comply with federal law by completely sealing the conviction so it can not be used in the next process. Therefore, while Indiana expungement restores civil rights (except for domestic batteries, which require a separate petition), it does not restore a person's federal rights. The only exception is for non-violent Class D crime convictions. Because Indiana's law allows people on non-violent Class D crime charges to petition to court to reduce crime against Class A crime, unless someone is prohibited by another belief, a successful reduction will restore a person's rights under federal and state law part.
Other laws
In Indiana, police can seize firearms from people who threaten to harm themselves or others. No warrant or signature of the judge is required. The police must submit a written statement explaining why the person who took the weapon is considered dangerous, and that person may respond to the hearing. Within 14 days a judge must agree that the probable cause exists, or the person's weapon must be returned.
Cartridges that can be fired with pistols that have "projectiles with metal cores and outer layers of plastic" are prohibited. "This section does not apply to nylon-coated ammunition, plastic shot capsules, or ammunition designed for use in rifles or rifles."
Indiana provides legal protection to law-abiding traders, sellers, and trade associations for the misuse of firearms by third parties. Lawsuits are permitted for cases of damage or injury caused by firearms or faulty ammunition, or breach of contract or guarantee.
Indiana's law on self-defense (and the defense of others) can be found in Indiana Code, Title 35, Article 41, Chapter 3-2.
Suppressors are legal in the state of Indiana with proper tax stamps and stamps for the right federal entity and can be used for hunting.
