long gun carry

[FCS-04]

Hi all,
I am thinking about making the move to Indiana and have been reading up on the laws. I think I have a pretty good grasp on the DNR and ACOE regulations but what I'm confused about is what are the rules for carrying long guns while hiking camping. Most of the regs specificaly state "handgun".

Thanks for any info.

I know you're new.... but seriously? There is a thread about this on page one of this subforum. No more than a few lines down from the top!

As long as your are obeying the DNR regs you are gtg as there is no legal prohibition in Indiana to carrying long arms.

It's cool, seriously. We've been known to seriously beat some dead horses around here!

Thanks for the welcome and I think just about every forum has seen more than their fair share of those threads, even people on non firearm related sites are asking "where's the ammo"
