In anticipation in getting my ccw license i have a few questions.
Can i carry a gun that was signed by a guardian and given to me? I have read that it is legal to have the gun gifted to me as such. Reason I ask because i know you can get a permit at 18, however you buy handguns from a dealer at 21. A cop from my school, told me in a smug and really $hity manner i might add that you can't unless you bought and signed the firearm yourself.
Or.... can i also carry a handgun i bought or traded from a private individual? I received a Beretta 92F from a member on this forum who is a police officer, and have read on the NRA's website these kinds of transactions are legal in Indiana so long as the person is at least 18 years of age. At the 1500 I had one of the dealers also in a really crappy tone i might add, tell me that these kinds of transactions are ILLEGAL AND I WILL GO TO PRISON! :wtf:
When i tried to tell him it wasn't and if it was I highly doubt the cop i traded with would have allowed it. He just replied that it was and the cop was wrong for doing it. He also gave me a lot of dirty looks.
Also...... someone else who is training to be a cop tried to tell me it's "illegal" to carry a firearm with one chambered, as he himself carries with just a full mag. I said thats b/s because I know a few people who carry topped off. He got sarcastic and said "whatever dude i am in the academy I think i know more then you" "they told us it's illegal"
Can anyone please help me clear up these matters?
