Can you carry a handgun in your vehicle without a license in Indiana?

  1. Yes, if the gun is unloaded and stored separately from ammunition

  2. No, a license is always required

  3. Yes, but only if the gun is visible

  4. Yes, but only with police authorization

The correct answer is: Yes, if the gun is unloaded and stored separately from ammunition

In Indiana, individuals may carry a handgun in their vehicle without a license under specific conditions. One of those conditions is that the handgun must be unloaded and stored separately from the ammunition. This means that as long as the firearm is not loaded and is kept in a place not easily accessible alongside the ammunition, it is permissible to have it in the vehicle without the need for a handgun license. This regulation is designed to allow for some level of firearm transport while also ensuring safety by requiring that the firearm not be readily accessible for immediate use. Other options provided either state conditions that are not compliant with Indiana law or imply restrictions in contexts that do not align with the freedom Indiana law grants regarding the transportation of unloaded firearms.
