Can I bring my Mosin along?

[Sasquatchhunter]

I'm gearing up to go camping for a few days. Most likely will get permission from a landowner who has a lot of acres, and is gun friendly. Question is, can I bring my Mosin along? I'd like to maybe shoot it some during the day, but I know you can't hunt with a high powered rifle in Indiana, is it illegal to go camping with one? What about if it was state forestry? Thanks in advance!

Not a lawyer, nor do I play one with my wife(Ex), so having said that. You can shoot it, you can carry it. Private property or in the forestry. Unless you shoot a deer, etc. you are not hunting. You can carry it for self protection, for whatever.

You can carry down the streets of Indy if you want.

Heck, if yours has a bayonet you can put that on too. Have fun camping.

I believe target shooting on state forrest land is not legal. Private propoerty a ok.

At Clark State Forest, they have a free shooting range on the property, and then they have designated hunting areas, and "firearms free" zones as well.

I like packing the mosin around for some reason. Might have to just be practical thought and bring a .22. We will camp very shortly I promise you that. 84Vette cant come though....he gets a little handsy come nightfall...

Now that is disappointing, and im not sure exactly what "handsy" means so I will just do my own camping with my own whiskey.

+1 they have a nice area to shoot. Nice hiking too.

If they had more lanes...it'd be a good spot for an INGO shoot.

Sorry I should have clarified. If they have a designated shooting range it is okay but to just shoot wherever in the woods is not. I use Yellowood a lot and it would be nice if they had a place to target shoot but they do not only discharge a firearm there while hunting or in self defense obviously.
