Well,,,
I am a military member stationed in Ne. I am looking to visit some family out in In and would like to OC on the way there. I currently have all legal documentation to OC in Ne but I need to know about carrying in my car on the way to In. I will also be recieving another sub compact pistol while in In which will be used for CC.
Any legal advice for doing this would be helpful
Since their is no such thing as an open carry permit,,
I have to wonder, what kind of legal documentation you currently have!
clue... anybody can open carry in Nebraska...
I will be getting a CCW but as of right now I do not have one. I am still awaiting some of the documentation I need
I cant think of any documentation you could need that a man in the service would not already have.
So you're saying that no matter what kind of carry permit I may have, in order to recieve the gun as a gift it must go through an FFL in IN and then to an FFL here?
Having a permit could save you a purchace waiting period in most states, but has no bearing on transfers.
But IF you had ANY permit its likely that Iowa and Indiana would honor it.
Many folks get a non-residend Utah or Florida permit because of thier broad acceptance.
You and others in the service usually have extra options of residency,,, navylcdr does as I did when I served.
You are on duty in nebraska. you are counted as a resident for purchachacing guns there.
You also have a state of perminant residence, maybe that is where you lived before you joined the service.
Maybe that was your folks house, You might still have stuff in your old room there.
Maybe that house is in Indiana. If it is, then you can go to Indiana and buy or recieve a gun there.
Thanks for all the great info and not to worry about carrying my own firearm out there. I drive a hatchback with no "trunk" but I will have it secured in a lockbox with the pistol disassembled. It's a springfield xd 40 so it comes apart very easily
As to your drive,,, In Nebraska you can OC and car carry as long as its clearly visible,, taped to your forehead or on the dashboard.
go to the SE corner and enter Mossouri, you can still OC and car carry same as before.
Again go to the SE corner and enter tennessee, you can still OC and car carry as before.
Now drive north to Indiana, but stop before the border and properly stow your fire arm... see, that was easy!
You will probably drive through Illinois,,,
Before you cross the border, stop, eat, pee, gass up!
Dont speed, dont draw attention to your self, dont stop anywhere for anything except an emergancy!
Dont tell ANY ONE!! that you have a gun stored in your car!!! ANY ONE!!!
