Quote HistoryQuoted: Lol not southern Indiana at all. That’s a Indianapolis suburb very central. Lots of nice places to live and raise a family. The Fishers area is pretty nice.

Quote HistoryQuoted: No idea. It was the first thing I saw when googling TX reciprocity. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I don’t know anything about Indiana except that Gary is a shit hole, but here you go. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/341181/50AA71B0-6479-4556-927D-FAA1C950BACC_jpe-1803612.JPG How old is that image? Kansas is a constitutional carry state. If you are legal to carry, you are good to go here. You don't even need a CCW from your home state. No idea. It was the first thing I saw when googling TX reciprocity. OK. Here is newer info: Clicky here KANSAS Current Constitutional Carry Status: Unrestricted What the future holds: Constitutional Carry for Open Carry was signed into law in 2015. However, permits for Concealed Carry are on a shall-issue basis. Kansas also keeps the avenue of firearms permits available to the public for those wishing to travel out of state where Constitutional Carry is not recognized. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Will be living and working in Knightstown. Thanks for the info on the license. Sounds easy.  biggest issue with license is that there are not a lot of places to do the fingerprints.........and there is good chance of a LONG wait to get printed.All the info is online. |

Several folks on my team (IT) live in Indiana but commute (now tele-commute) to Cincinnati for work purposes. They love Indiana and would not have it any other way.
Better start reading about Bobby Knight and watch that movie about riding bikes though.

I was hoping that since I've already been fingerprinted for my Texas license that I could avoid it for the Indiana license but it looks like I'll have to go through the entire process again. I guess there's no way to "transfer" a license from one state to another. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Shithole!  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Took a trip to Indiana to visit some relatives and got offered a job and a set of living circumstances that are too good to turn down. It's an amazing opportunity and just fell into my lap. So I'll be moving with the wife and kids up there in April. I've lived in Texas my entire life so this will be a huge change. So what are the gun laws like? Things to watch out for? Taxes? I know next to nothing about Indiana. I have a lot of research to do. For example, I have a Texas LTC(License to Carry) and I'm not sure what I need to do to make it valid in Indiana. On a related note I'd like to thank @scuba_steve and @whiskerzthecat for shaming me in one of "teh poors" threads. In a small way this helped inspire me to take this advantage of this opportunity. I've been sick of being poor for a long time and this move will get me on the path to becoming ARFCOM rich. Anyway, and insider info would be greatly appreciated.  Shithole! Lol shithole?

IN carry requires permit, but open or concealed is the same so it seems like people just carry with bad concealment a lot.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've never even seen Hoosiers. Like I said, I have a lot of research to do. Thanks for all the responses guys.Once you get your LTCH, we call them "Larry", and start moving around a bit, be aware, since you are not far from the communist state of Ohio, and may travel there, they are a must declare state. Basically if you have ANY interaction with the man in Ohio, the first thing you MUST do is declare that you are carrying. Not sure, think it's a felony for not doing that and getting busted. But then there is this, "concealed means concealed". Check for yourself preservation. We have a couple hometown groups forming up, check on the hometown page for more info, you can find the appropriate contacts there. There are some of the opinion that anything south of US 30 is "southern Indiana". Me, I'm down by the big muddy creek, in a van. |

I like it except for the winters. Between the snow and salt, expect the undercarriage of your new car to look like an ancient sunken shipwreck in just a few years.
Wind chill is 28 degrees right now, we're expecting snow tonight, and there's a winter storm warning that says we're getting sleet for the next hour. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Small town and rural Indiana is the epitome of America. I was born here and live here, but I've traveled a fair amount. It's where we decided to raise our family. I'm in the North East corner Winter can get dreary. Summer can get muggy. Gun laws are good. Lifetime CCW. Low cost of living. A lot of conservative people and values. People of Wal-Mart are a real thing. Gary is considered part of Chicago, for all practical purposes. I told the padre the truth, man: I like it here. You get to do what you want. Nobody f***s with you. The only worry you got is dyin', and if that happens you won't know about it anyway.  |

Don't let anyone tell you different, Southern / Southeastern Indiana has plenty to do if you like to get off your couch.
While I'm across the river in northern Kentucky we spend plenty of time over there in Lawrenceburg, at Perfect North Slopes tubing and snowboarding, at Brookeville Lake canoeing, kayaking and camping, at Little Farm on the River and Clifty Falls camping with the kids, there are wineries if that is your thing, and casino's as well. A few hours away you have Wright Pat Air Force museum and several Zoo's are within a days drive. Across the river in Louisville KY there are tons of things to do as well. Plenty of gun shops are nearby and lots of property to shoot on if you are able to simply make friends with your neighbors. Wife got her Scuba cert over there in a gravel pit lake, and I've caught countless panfish, bass and catfish from farm ponds in southern Indiana and the National Muzzleloading Association used to be based in southern Indiana as well. And corn, lots and lots of fresh corn.

Central Indiana won’t see too much snow compared to living near the lake. Indiana isn’t bad , though it is rather flat until you get to the southern parts.
Good gun laws Cheap cost of living Fairly conservative Welcome. Make sure to get on the HTF get together list. |
