Are individuals permitted to carry a firearm in their vehicle without a handgun license in Indiana?

Yes, if the firearm is unloaded and stored securely
No
Yes, but only in the trunk
Yes, if the individual is over 21 years of age

The correct answer is: No

The correct understanding regarding carrying a firearm in a vehicle in Indiana is that individuals are not permitted to do so without a handgun license. The law in Indiana clearly stipulates that a handgun must be carried "within reach" if it is loaded while being transported in a vehicle, and doing so without a proper license is considered illegal. While there are provisions regarding the storage of firearms in a vehicle, such as requirements for being unloaded or stored securely, these do not negate the necessity for a license for carrying a handgun in a vehicle. Therefore, those who wish to carry a firearm in their vehicle need to be properly licensed to do so, making the option indicating that carrying without a license is permissible inaccurate.
