So, about 8 months until I'm old enough for my carry permit. Got a few questions, mostly of a less serious nature, that I figure you guys could give some advice on.
First off, I have a pistol shy parent to deal with. Mom despises hand guns. Any way to convince her of allowing me to have one? I'll be 18 obviously so I could just buy one, but I feel that's pretty disrespectful as I'd still be under their roof. Would like to get it soon so I can be acquainted with it before I actually get my license. Any good ways to argue it?
Second, suggest me a carry arm. I'm leaning to something mildly eccentric in nature but that can be had for under $400. Nothing with polymer. I'm really wanting something that can be shown off to fellow enthusiasts as an unusual carry piece. Any suggestions? Reloading for a strange caliber is no problem at all.
And for some legal questions, what is the legal status of a loaded firearm kept in a vehicle, but not on the person of, a permit holder? Would it be legal to have a pistol in the glove box or a rifle behind the seat, and for that matter are CCW and LTCH the same thing in Indiana or somehow two different licenses? I've seen both terms used but I know they give varying rights depending on the state.
Some newbishness I'll admit, but thanks for helping me out. Cops can't follow me around for protection, and I don't have the money for body guards. Guess I'll just have to do the job myself!
