Can you legally modify a firearm to make it fully automatic in Indiana?

Yes, if registered
No, it's illegal
Yes, with a special permit
Yes, but only for competition use

The correct answer is: No, it's illegal

The correct answer is that it is illegal to modify a firearm to make it fully automatic in Indiana. Federal law regulates fully automatic firearms, and modifications that allow a firearm to function in this manner are heavily restricted. In Indiana, any alterations that would enable a firearm to fire automatically, without the shooter needing to pull the trigger for each shot, violates both state and federal regulations. While there are specific provisions for certain firearms under strict federal regulations, such as obtaining a tax stamp for a legally registered machine gun, those rules do not allow for just any modification of a standard firearm to turn it into a fully automatic weapon. Therefore, modifying weapons in this manner is not permitted regardless of any potential registrations or permits. The other options suggest various conditions under which such modifications might be acceptable, but they do not align with the legal framework governing firearms in Indiana and federally. Understanding and adhering to these regulations is essential for the lawful ownership and modification of firearms.
