Note that About.com also says that you do not need a permit to possess a handgun in the state. While this is true as long as you're on your own private property, if you transport the firearm anywhere in the State outside of your private property, you need a permit.
We might want to ding About.com too.
Let's not criticize incorrect answers that can lead to legal trouble for someone?Let's not get too carried away and start criticizing correct answers, even if they do need more explanation.
Oddly enough, the answer references this page:
What are the Gun Laws in Indiana?
which does actually have the statement quoted in the answer, but under the section about children lawfully possessing a firearm.
The idiot that got the approved answer cited this site:

It is unlawful for an adult to provide a firearm to a child or for a child to possesses a firearm except while the child is:
...
Target shooting at a range or in an area where the discharge of a firearm is not prohibited or supervised by a qualified firearms instructor or adult while at the range.
No person shall carry a handgun in any vehicle or on or about his person without a license being in his possession.

What did I say? How can it be true AND BE the wrong answer. This is what I wrote:Ok, feel free not to be critical. But that wrong answer...
It's not incorrect. You do not need a permit to possess a handgun. You can possess it at home or business without any permit. It needs elaboration, with an explanation that moving it anywhere needs a carry license, but is not incorrect on it's face. Criticizing techically correct answers muddies the water and is not responsible, it's going off half-cocked.Let's not get too carried away and start criticizing correct answers, even if they do need more explanation.
You need to re-read the OPs question. He asked if you needed a permit to transport a firearm. He didn't ask about having one at home or work and he didn't ask about possession. It helps if you read the question.
The only correct answer is "yes" you need a permit to transport a firearm.
And that has nothing to do with your criticism of About.com, which is what I referred to. About.com IS correct. We all agree the Yahoo answer is obviously wrong.We might want to ding About.com too.
Gotcha, my bad. I was getting my hair cut and typing on my iPhone...And that has nothing to do with your criticism of About.com, which is what I referred to. About.com IS correct. We all agree the Yahoo answer is obviously wrong.
Why do people ask for legal advice on an internet site (Any, not just Yahoo Answers) and expect to get right answer? Ask a lawyer! Someone that DOES law for a living, not just someone who thinks they know the answer. I always ask a lawyer, regardless if I know someone that knows the answer by heart and may be true. Too many people wanting instant gratification in their world and these internet legal questions are just an extension of that! (Big FROWNY face for legal beagles) I know of armchair commandoes and chairbourne rangers, but now do we have to go to bionic barristers?
