I understand that an Indiana LTCH lets you open carry or conceal carry. Does that only come into play if the gun is loaded? If you do not have a LTCH, can you transport an unloaded handgun to and from the range?
I believe that I read on the forum that you DO NOT need any kind of permit to carry a loaded shotgun or rifle either open of concealed. Correct?
Also, does anyone know how this extends to other states? Can I legally transport an unloaded handgun/rifle/shotgun to a range in Illinois for example? Does it change the situation if I have ammunition in the car too?
Sorry, I know thats a lot of questions, but this is where this stuff gets muddy to me. Thanks.

sorta anyway. It is legal to transport all firearms through IL(and all other states) if they are unloaded and encased and unaccesable to the passenger compartment (if in a pickup or rv etc. where there is no enclosed space away from the passenger compartment just unloaded and cased) and you don't stop (very simplified, if you plan on doing it check into it better), but to transport into and use? Well for IL hunting its legal and I believe its legal for target shooting but I haven't seen any case law for that. Other states it can be more or less confusing.
