[vietboy1st]

The gun laws here are very pro 2nd Amendment. You can carry pretty much any kind of handgun you want, have as many bullets as you want, spar mags as you want. You can open carry or conceal carry. I don't know about Mass. but we have a lifetime option for our handgun licenses. Very good state for gun owners.

Just a suggestion, OP, but if I were you, I'd move North to New Hampshire and commute to Boston Live Free or Die and all that, their Handgun laws are even less restrictive than Indiana's.

Here is a good site if you are interested in how the States stack up against each other. Though not always 100% correct, they do try to keep it updated

Better than most. Not as good as it ought to be.

Indiana Weapons Laws are far to restrictive. I mean Short Barreled Shotguns, Chinese Throwing Stars, and Automatic Opening Knives are not allowed here.

As far as a CCW Law we have none, nor do we want one either. I personally feel that we should do away with the entire LTCH process...

Hey hopefully the automatic opening knives part will be a thing of the past soon with the bill already passing one chamber.

I think you should move.

I wish Indiana would get serious about Constitutional Carry.

Not only are the gun laws very pro 2nd, but the cost of living is amazing (LOW!) compared to New England... I'm from NH... I have been a resident of IN since 02.... I love it here. The only problem I've ever had here is being razzed for wearing my Brady Jersey....

I'm fairly certain that the Chinese are still allowed in Indiana.




Though I agree, Indiana has some ridiculous laws and still requires a License to carry (Larry) for handguns.

We aren't the worst state based on our current infringements, but we're certainly not leading the pack on 2A liberty, either.

Looking at the statist regime it has become, it is sometimes difficult to imagine that New England was once the hotbed of individual liberty.

If you want to see how Indiana's gun laws compare to Mass's, take a look here:

In our case RED IS GOOD.

Hey! Since we no longer allow local entities to add restrictions on firearms ownership, shouldn't we get to give back 2 of our points? Someone ought to write and let them know...

 

[MrSmitty]

I love that Arizona gets 0 points!!!!!!!!

Okay I really need to get better with the whole computer thingy BUT, wearing a Brady jersey and the Brady campaign... come on... no wonder you get razzed. ROTFLMAO!

Historically speaking, Indiana was once the wild west and when we first became a state had a lot of pioneers here to whom guns was second nature. Consequently, a strong 2nd Amendment clause was written into the State Constitution. Hoosiers have made sure it stays there ever since.
Even many of the Democrats here are strong Second Amendment supporters, although we do have our share of liberal idiots and hotbeds of anti-gun sentiment.

 

[jbombelli]

We can walk around town carrying loaded AK-47s, as long as we don't point them at anybody without a good reason. And with a license we can carry any handgun we want, open or concealed, and the places off limits are less than many other states. Plus, we honor licenses/permits from anywhere.

That's not too bad if you ask me.

But there is some definite room for improvement.

Hey, did not know about that. Would be sweet to be able to legally buy a switch blade.

Correct me if I'm wrong....

Indiana will honor a Massachusetts CCW or LTCH or whatever, but Massachusetts will not honor an indiana LTCH. In other words, as a carrier, you're welcomed here, but we are not welcomed in your state. I think that tells you something.

Edit: sorry jbomb--didn't mean to step all over your post.
