My response from Lt. Jerry Berkey in the Records Division of the ISP:
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.
What I was hoping for was clarification from your office. Is the above correct? Specifically:
* With a Michigan CPL, I am absolutely required to carry concealed?
* I am subject to the restrictions of Concealed Carry in Michigan while I am in the State of Indiana?
The confusion derives from MCL 28.425o and MCL 750.234d which outline pistol free zones. MCL 750.234d states, in part:
"(2) This section does not apply to any of the following: [...] (2) (c) A person licensed by this state or another state to carry a concealed weapon."
Thus, it is implied that a CPL holder in Michigan is granted the right to carry openly without the restriction of "Pistol Free Zones", and that a MI CPL, indirectly, gives the right to OC.
So again, I must ask for clarification: Can a Michigan CPL holder carry openly in Indiana?
