What type of firearm license does Indiana issue to individuals?

  1. Concealed Firearm Permit

  2. Handgun License

  3. Shooting Permit

  4. General Firearm License

The correct answer is: Handgun License

Indiana issues a Handgun License, which allows individuals to legally carry a handgun in public. This license is specifically designed for the concealed carry of handguns, aligning with the state's regulations on firearm possession. Applicants must meet certain eligibility criteria, such as being a resident of Indiana, passing a background check, and demonstrating good character. While the term "Concealed Firearm Permit" might suggest a similar purpose, Indiana officially refers to it as a Handgun License. The options referring to "Shooting Permit" and "General Firearm License" do not exist in Indiana law, as there are specific licenses for handguns rather than a broad license for all firearms. Understanding this distinction is important for anyone looking to navigate Indiana's gun laws effectively.
