Handgun Permits

Handgun Permits

 
On July 1, 2022, the State of Indiana will no longer require a handgun permit to legally carry, conceal or transport a handgun within the state. This law does not allow everyone to carry a handgun as Indiana law contains certain criteria which must be met for a person to legally carry within the state. 
 
 A person must not be a prohibited person as defined by IC 35-47-2-1.5.
 
 * A person who has been convicted of a State or Federal offense punishable by a term of imprisonment exceeding one year.
