Can a person legally carry a handgun in their vehicle in Indiana without a license?

  1. Yes, if the handgun is unloaded and secured

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only when going to or from a shooting range

  4. Yes, but the handgun must be visible

The correct answer is: No

In Indiana, the law stipulates that a person must have a handgun license to legally carry a handgun in their vehicle, whether it is loaded or unloaded. This requirement is in place to ensure that individuals carrying firearms are properly vetted and have undergone the necessary training to handle them safely. While there may be specific exceptions or conditions under which firearms can be stored in a vehicle, such as being unloaded and secured, these do not negate the overall requirement for a license to carry a handgun in the first place. The law emphasizes accountability and responsible ownership, and the prohibition against carrying a handgun in a vehicle without a license reflects this focus on safety and regulation within the state.
