Subject: CPL Reciprocation
To Whom It May Concern:
IC 35-47-2-21 states: "[...]
(b) Licenses to carry handguns, issued by other states or foreign countries, will be recognized according to the terms thereof but only while the holders are not residents of Indiana. [...]"
Can you clarify what is meant by the phrase "according to the terms thereof"?
Specifically, I am a Michigan CPL holder inquiring as to the rights I am provided when carrying in Indiana.
* Can I open carry with a Michigan CPL?
* Am I restricted by Indiana AND Michigan pistol free zones, or just Indiana?
Please elaborate on these topics.
Best regards,

This spells it out pretty clearly to me. You are basically restricted to the laws of BOTH states while in Indiana, with the added rule that a CPL only allows you to carry concealed in Indiana, not OC. Thoughts?You are held to the restrictions of your license in your home state. Example: if you are issued a concealed carry permit in your home state, then the weapon must be concealed in Indiana. If you cannot carry on your person in the vehicle in your home state, then you cannot do so in Indiana.
Indiana does not regulate in establishments selling alcohol. If the law in your state is related to the terms under which you were issued your license, then you cannot do so in Indiana either. If you want to know that, then you need to contact your licensing authorities, not us.
