Is this allowed?

[kazaam]

So I dont have an LTCH yet, and I was wondering if this would be legal:

Say I buy a gun, and want to take it to my friends house to show him/her (unloaded, obviously). Would this be allowed?

 

[Integraholic]

I don't believe so. I think it's just home, work, gunsmith, or a range.

Thats what i thought. IF i had my LTCH, would it be allowed?

 

[Classic Liberal]

Not unless he has a range at his house or is a gunsmith.

Of course, that's the point.

Get your friend to come to YOUR house if you really wanna show him/her the gun once you took it home from the store.
Or even better get your LTCH and you wont have to worry about all the legalities.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Not unless he has a range at his house or is a gunsmith.

Or you are moving to his house

Son of a *****, theres a good reason to get a license to carry...showing off. Heres a couple other scenarios:

1)I drive to friends house to meet up with friend, put my handgun in his trunk, and we go to the range together. Is THIS allowed if i dont have a LTCH?

2)Go to my friends house, who HAS a license to carry, couldnt he just claim it was his gun if the police did happen to find out (obviously not advocating this lol)?

Seems like i should just get my LTCH ASAP before i even get a gun, sheesh.

 

[Integraholic]

He could come pick you up at your house and transport the firearm to his that way, sure.

 

[T4rdV4rk]

Just get your permit man. It takes 10 days tops if you go through L1.

Wait, WHAT??

NO LTCH = transport UNloaded, Cased, Inaccessible.

LTCH = transport loaded.

 

[Bruenor]

Just carry it in your waistband without a holster, then reply "LOL, WUT" if anyone asks about it.

Most of the first responses are how it USED to be. You are legal to do those things now as long as it is unloaded, cased, and not accessible. It's in the FAQs. Having said that, get the LTCH!!

What the heck IS an LTCH?
LTCH is a License to Carry Handgun. All the cool kids call it a "Larry" (License to cARRY). This is the type of license/permit that Indiana offers to its residents. It is ONLY legal to carry a handgun if you have a valid LTCH, with a very few exceptions to that rule in either direction. Also note that it's a license to carry a handgun. It's not an authorization for any other type of weapon (such as a switchblade, which is illegal to possess or carry in Indiana).

Two things to note:
1) If you do not have an LTCH, you can still buy a handgun and transport it in your or someone else’s vehicle that you are lawfully present in (no carjacking, now…). The gun must be unloaded, not readily accessible, and in a secure wrapper (such as, but not necessarily, a locked, hard-shelled case).
2) You can now transport your handgun to your favorite range without an LTCH, if the gun is in a secure wrapper, unloaded, and not readily accessible.
These things have changed as of July 1, 2011. You will probably see old references all over INGO to having to have the LTCH to transport a handgun. If the post was made before that date, those references were probably correct at the time they were made, but are now outdated.

Oh yeah, just quoted the FAQ!! I'll be a mod before you know it!
