Indiana enacted constitutional carry in 2022, allowing law-abiding residents who are legally permitted to possess a firearm to carry it openly or concealed without a state-issued permit. Residents who travel out of state or want reciprocity recognition in other jurisdictions can obtain an optional Indiana License to Carry Handgun through their local law enforcement agency. Indiana imposes no state-level waiting period beyond the federal background check process and has no state-level magazine capacity restrictions. Buyers must meet all applicable federal eligibility requirements, including a minimum age of 21 for handgun purchases from a licensed dealer.
Indiana carriers should be familiar with all prohibited carry locations under state and federal law, including schools, courts, and other restricted venues regardless of permit status. Safe and responsible storage of handguns when not in use is an important component of responsible firearm ownership in any household.
