[emmo]

I have a "License To Carry Handgun State of Indiana". Does my handgun have to be registered inorder to concel or open carry? I have always been of the understnading that they did, but a friend told me tonight that wasn't the case. Emmo

No. But I'm guessing you will have more questions about carrying. I suggest you check out...

No. There is no gun registration in Indiana.

I'm curious why you thought handguns needed to be registered. There are actually very few states that infringe upon their residents with such a registry requirement but the media does tend to propagate such misinformation on a regular basis.

Those right there^. No registration in Indiana.

Thanks everyone for the response. ATM, I'm not sure were I came up with that line of thinking, but I have thought that for many years now. I'm gald to find out I was wrong, thanks again.

Maybe I don't understand the word register. But I bought a handgun not long ago, of course it was purchased new from a dealer serial numbers were recorded the call was made. I don't know how long this information is kept or where but it is out there someplace.

It stays in the gun shop until they go out of business.

Do I have to register my handgun in Indiana?
No. Indiana law does not require registration. Federal forms must be completed when purchasing a handgun from a dealer, but not private transfers or sales; however this is not a state registration...

Some people continue to believe they must register a handgun because many years ago, Indiana did require a person to register handguns with local police departments. I could not find the date when that requirement was withdrawn, but people's memories go on a long time.

If you have a Glock, contact the AKC. They are in charge of registering dogs.

If I remember correctly, it was mid 90's. I remember the Osceola cop bringing the paperwork for a handgun (Colt All American 2000) my dad had purchased and sold already. I was in high school at the time.

I hope it wasn't the 90's, means I broke some laws and so did a lot of other people in the 80's

I think that new gun buyers, a little intimidated with the LGS purchase process, don't realize that the form they fill out, and the resulting phone call, are only a background check. I would venture to say, that if ask just outside the LGS, a large number would be under the impression that the phone call was to some government agency to "regester" the gun to the buyer, and the paperwork would be sent to the same agency to be filed away under their name.

Thank you lovemywoods, you just supported my suspicion. I inherited my first handgun when my father passed away in 1981. I wanted to carry it while deer scouting and camping so I got a permit to carry when hunting or target shooting. I had thought that the sheriff’s department told me that I could carry a handgun as long as it was registered. I now feel more certain that's where I got that understanding. Sure good to know that I was incorrect. Thanks again to all.

 

[Slawburger]

When I first got my LTCH you had to take the handgun to the local Sheriff (maybe City Police if you lived in town). That was a long time ago and is no longer required in the great state of Indiana.

That's just mean.

I am going to create a gun registry and advertise my site as the place where everybody has to register all their guns.

I will charge 5 bucks per gun and if I do it with PayPal, I can collect the money while I am on the beach in the Carribean.

I'll bet there are lots of people who feel compelled to register their guns with Indiana Gun Registry LLC.

I am about half serious.....
