Per IC 35-47-2-1 one must have a Special License to Carry a Handgun to carry a Handgun in any Vehicle or on or about ones body while in Indiana. One must be 18 to carry a Firearm.
Per IC 34-28-5-3 a Indiana Police Officer may, when acting in good faith, require of a Man his name, address, or date of birth for any suspected ordinance violation or other infraction.
Per IC 34-28-5-3-3.5 it is a Crime in Indiana, a Class C Misdemeanor, to refuse to comply with the foregoing provisions of 38-28-5-3 when thatOfficer is indeed acting in good faith. Refusal to Identify, when asked, is a Crime per the unique statutory framework of Indiana Law.
While in Indiana, if any Man goes armed in Public with a Handgun, then, a Officermay, with the foregoing procedure, ask ofHim to make goodHisname, His address, and His birth date, while that Man is armed in Public or any Public Place. Also, you must show your Handgun Carry License as well.
A violation under IC 35-47-2-1 is a Class A Misdemeanor, but if the offense is committed in, on, or within a 1000 feet of a School or the offense would constitute the second or subsequent violation, then, the offense is a Class C Felony.
In Indiana, authoritiesmay confiscate a unlawful Pistol, per 35-47-3-1.
However, Indiana regulates further that Firearms may not be carried into any School or into any Airport, passed the controlled access points... both of these restrictions is per Federal Law.The severity of the offensedepends on what type of Weaponis involved, and if a Person is actuallyon the Aircraft or inside the School. Indiana never really says if having a Permit is a defense to either Crime, or if the School prohibitions apply to Colleges and Universities, and other Adult Education Centers. Indiana tried to clarify the Law, but failed, when SB0012 was drafted to allow Firearms into Colleges and Universities and place them under State Preemption.
Indiana has Firearms Preemption per IC 35-47-11-1, but IC 35-47-11-2 is a close range narrow exception applicable to two major exceptions as discussed below.
Indiana Law does not regulate Firearms any more stringently than IC 35-47-11; however, Indiana does provide that Localities may impose greater restrictions, should they choose do so. Indiana's Local Governments may restrict or prohibit Firearms within their own Local Public Buildings, or Lands and they may restrict/regulate Firearm sells for not more than 72 hours after the declaration of a disaster, per IC 10-14-3-1. The Local Regulation Law is authorized under Indiana Statute, per IC 35-47-11. Another drafted bill, HB1011, which failed to pass, would haverepealed the emergency powers clause under Indiana Law.
For example... Marion County and The City of Indianapolis declare that the Waterworks facilities and property are off limits, but spell out certain exceptions under Local Law. This restriction is permissable under IC 35-47-11-2. Also, they together outlaw carrying sharp objects... without good and suffienct reason... as they are not under State Preemption, as it pertains only to Firearms, IC 35-47-11-1.
Providedone is legally eligible---ex. NOTAFELON---one may openly carry or, seemingly,conceal carry any type of Long gun, or any other type of Weapon. Namely, only Pistols require a License, as discussed above. Switch Blade Knifes, per IC 35-47-5-2 and Chinese Throwing Stars, per IC 35-47-5-12 are both unlawful Weapons to own or have/use. One may carry any Firearm or other Weapon to Athletic Events, Bars, Churches, Political Events, and Public Buildings... there are no restrictions on these places... outside of any authorized Local Ordinancespassed under IC 35-47-11-2 pertaining to the Lands and Buildings of the Unit. Local ordinances may not apply to public highways. If on Private Property theOwners rules will apply, and... refusal to leave when asked... is trespassing IC 35-43-2-2.
Indiana allows for a possible restoration of Firearms Rights to otherwise ineligible Persons per IC 35-47-4-7. Ineligible Persons are Persons with any Felony coviction, or any Domestic Violence conviction, etc..
Just remember that in Indiana, ifone goes armed with a Pistol in Public, expect a Police interaction. Procure a License to Carry a Pistol in advance. Take this matter to The Indiana Legislature and get them to pass an open carry Law for Handguns similiar to Kentucky's, Michigan's, or Ohio's. Indianians should never be told they need to procure a License to openly carry aHandgun in Public, not only are they expensive but also a governmental sanction against the Second Amendment.
