Which of the following is a requirement for storing firearms in a home with children in Indiana?

  1. Using a trigger lock

  2. Storing ammunition separately

  3. Keeping the firearm in a locked container

  4. Indiana law does not specify requirements

The correct answer is: Indiana law does not specify requirements

In Indiana, there are no specific state laws that mandate the use of trigger locks, storing ammunition separately, or keeping firearms in locked containers specifically for homes with children. While it is highly encouraged and considered best practice for safe firearm storage to use these safety measures, they are not legally required under Indiana law. This distinguishes the correct answer, as it reflects the lack of legally binding requirements in the state specifically addressing the storage of firearms in homes where children are present. While it is wise to take personal responsibility for ensuring firearms are stored safely to prevent access by children, and many gun safety organizations advocate for the use of trigger locks and locked containers, these practices remain recommended rather than mandated by law. Therefore, it is essential for firearm owners to understand their responsibility to ensure safety, but Indiana law allows individual discretion in how firearms are stored.
