I came across this site while researching Indiana gun laws. I am currently finishing up my undergraduate work in Utah and will probably do my graduate work in Indiana. I have my Utah CFP. I'm feeling a lot less irritated at Utah restrictions after reading Indiana law.
welcome. I grew up in UT and loved it. I think you'll like IN, especially if in the southern half where there's more rolling hills, no mountains though . I'm finishing a grad degree here too. Welcome.
Yes, you will find it much more gun friendly here in Indiana than in Utah. Plus, you can have a smoke, coffee or a beer (or all three) in addition to carrying.
