I was at the wilbur wright hg/rifle range a while back and they had signs up saying that you had to have a pistol licence to shoot handguns there and then I went back last week and the signs were gone. Is this rule still in effect? Yes, I know that getting a permit will solve the problem, but do to money concerns this will have to wait until after the holidays. |

Last time I was at JP they had the same sign up as well. But sign or not it is illegal to transport a Handgun in the State of Indiana without a CHL except for the reasons in bold at the bottom. Unfortunately the range is not one of them even if it is unloaded and in the trunk. There is a lot of good information in the first part of this current thread "Indian law on handgun in car" IC 35-47-2 Chapter 2. Regulation of Handguns IC 35-47-2-1 Carrying a handgun without a license or by person convicted of domestic battery Sec. 1.

(b) Unless the person's right to possess a firearm has been restored under IC 35-47-4-7, a person who has been convicted of domestic battery under IC 35-42-2-1.3 may not possess or carry a handgun in any vehicle or on or about the person's body in the person's dwelling or on the person's property or fixed place of business.
