Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in Indiana?

No
Yes, for all buyers
Yes, but only for first-time buyers
Yes, but only for private sales

The correct answer is: No

In Indiana, a permit is not required to purchase a handgun. This means that individuals can buy handguns without needing to obtain a specific permit beforehand. However, to carry a handgun in public, a person must have a handgun license, which is a separate requirement. The other choices suggest varying requirements for permits based on the buyer's status or the type of sale, but Indiana law clearly states no permit is necessary for the purchase itself. Instead, what is required for certain transactions is compliance with federal regulations, including background checks, particularly when purchasing from a federally licensed dealer.
