I am 19 and a Kentucky resident. I willl be going to Indiana for a gun shoot in the country on private property. Can I legally open carry while at the shoot or do I need a license? I will be carrying for a legitimate reason not being self-defense, rather...I will be shooting with a bunch of other people.

Thanks
