States that honor Indiana's LTCH

[Viper1973]

Indiana LTCH + Arizona CCW + Utah CCW will give you all but a small handful of states

I just went to Ohio this weekend. I called ahead to the State Patrol and told them that I was an Indiana permit holder and he told me that I could keep my firearm on me at all times while I was in Ohio, I just had to have my permit with me and present it immediately if I came into contact with an officer. I was quite shocked and asked several times to make sure I was understood. I did find an article about the law stated in a previous post in this thread. Didn't read too much of it because I had the "approval" of the State Patrol. Just thought I'd share my experience.

I hope you didn't believe him...Unless Ohio has made a major move and loosened their laws (which I think it would be all over this forum if they did), then that trooper was telling you to break the law. And I think that would be a felony conviction.
Go Here: Handgunlaw.us and click on Indiana. It will pop open another window telling you who recognizes IN LTCH, and Ohio ISN"T one of them.

I believe you can have it with you unloaded, but I'm not sure of the specifics. Loaded is definitely out.

Unfortunately I did believe him because I stated that I did not believe that it was allowable and he assured me that it was. I spoke with a Sargent about this. I did some thorough research this morning and determined that there was a bill introduced in the Ohio House (HB495) this last session that would have granted reciprocity with all states that honor the Ohio permit. I have provided a link that talks about it all. Unfortunately the reciprocity provision was removed at the last minute to get a vote. Thankfully no harm was had this weekend due to my trusting the "authorities". I will be more thorough in the future. I have started the process of getting my UT permit but that has not arrived yet.

UPDATE: Senate & House pass amended HB495; Bill sent to Governor Kasich for signature

FYI,

Virginia now honors the Indiana Permit/License to Carry.

This is an update to a previous post.

One of our members, NIFT, messaged me with a few points of interest, things I had not made note of, such as that while Maine (among others) does not recognize non-resident permits from other states, they do issue their own, and that MD and NJ do likewise, though theirs are very difficult to obtain.

OK, so our LTCH covers us to carry according to the laws of the state we happen to be in in 29 states. How can we carry in the other 21 (if at all?)

.**CA - No means in place.

***IL - No one other than LE may carry here legally.
.**NY - No means in place.


Do remember that to carry a firearm in these other jurisdictions, their local laws apply. Some forbid carry in places that, to us, seem counterintuitive and even idiotic. Their laws do not have to make sense to us, any more than our own do, we still must follow them or risk fines, imprisonment, and loss of the future ability to lawfully possess firearms.

My thanks to Bob for his bringing this information out.

Blessings,
Bill

Bill, FL and NM again honor each other. Since May 8, 2012. So the FL Non Resident is valid in NM.

I had trouble with a LEO in Georgia not knowing that his state recognized my Indiana permit. I would suggest if traveling you print out the which states recognize your states permit. I was held up for over an hour until his supervisor showed him the law in writing.

Thanks, Gary. I'll fix that above!

Oops, I guess I should have checked before my trip to SC. Regardless I have drove through Ill several times with a hand gun under the seat, unloaded but I did the speed limit the whole time and made sure that the registration was not near the gun incase I was pulled over. I carry for protection for myself and my family. There is no better time to do this than when traveling away from home. So I am willing to take the risk.

This^^
You essentially just admitted to a felony. I know, I know, better tried by 12 than carried by 6, but better to drive a metric crap-ton of miles out of the way than to spend a year or three in an Illinois PMITA prison.

Why can't it be that u get a liecense in Ur resident state and be able to carry in all states it would make life a lot easier

Why does any state require a license when the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed?

The same reason grown adults write in internet forums like ten year olds texting.

Who Honors IN

Here is a map if you guys want it. You can edit it with Microsoft paint. I would not change the size of it as when I do it loses quality. If you let me know I will update it for you if/when there is a change.

Forgot to say, It belongs to Indiana Gun Owners. Handgunlaw.us gives you all rights to it. This is not the same map on the IN Page at Handgunlaw.us It is one I created just for this site. You can remove or add anything you like. It is yours.

 

[RyanGSams]

Just to be clear, when travelling through Ohio the gun has to be unloaded and the magazine emptied?

As always, great work. Thanks for what you do.

TyanGSams is Correct in his post about magazines must be unloaded in Ohio. Beginning MARCH 27, 2013 A new Ohio Law takes effect concerning What it considers a Loaded Firearm. Here is the new Law.
