is this true for indiana???

[pate]

i read that u do not need a permit to carry a long gun. and says that u can walk down the street with a AK47 strapped to your back and they cant do anything about it as long as your not walking with it in your hands pointing it at people obviusly or in any other threating manner. is this true?

 

[indykid]

That's true, you can carry any long gun without prior approval of the constabulary.

this is pretty much the case with any state in the US but your gonna grab some unwanted attention

This is correct.

Not that you won't still risk having the cops called to check it out, but it is definitely legal in Indiana.

It's true. You need the License To Carry Handgun (LTCH, or Larry) only to carry handguns.
Having that license will except one from the Federal law prohibiting firearms within 1000' of school property, but that's the only connection between the license and long arms that I can think of.

There have already been a few. Not INGO specific, but planned and discussed here.

Dont think this applies to colleges though but im sure it wouldn't be pretty....

Correct, school property does not include colleges.

Pretty all depends on the rifle and possibly the person carrying it.

Not really crazy if you think about it. Legal is the default nature of things.

Everything that hasn't specifically been made illegal is still legal.

What's crazy is how many things have been made illegal.

Legal and it should be! 2nd Amendment!

Shall not be infringed!!!

Where you from? Tombstone, Arizona in the 1880s?! LOL

Heck, when I was a kid... 36-37 years ago, my buddies and I would walk down our street carrying our shotguns and with our rifles slung over our shoulder, ammo vests bulging. We'd walk back to some railroad tracks that run under I-465 on the south side (of Indy) and shoot under that overpass. Nobody thought anything about it back then. Of course shooting within Marion County is no longer permitted, and there would probably be a SWAT team involved if we tried that now. Pity that. Some of the best rabbit hunting I ever had was where the license branch now sits on South Meridian St. near Round Hill Cemetery. Good times, good times...

 

[RichardR]

Yea when I was a kid we would always walk around with our rifles in our hands & we had to pass through a couple of residential neighborhoods & then across a public park before we got back into the woods where we used to go hunting, no-one ever said anything or called the police on us or nothing like that.

Times sure have changed that's for sure.

 

[shavedforbattle]

I sure wish things were different nowadays. Until I joined a private rifle range (Red Brush in Newburgh, IN), finding a spot to shoot was near impossible without driving 45 miles down the road.

I will assume I missed your citation giving me credit for this.
