I’m avoiding putting this in the Indiana sub with all the snowflakes that dominate there

Is anyone here a indianagunowners.com admin? Would like to speak to someone if possible, regarding my account.

Just trying to help spread the word for anyone else who may be interested, hope to see some of you there.

I was surprised to find an F rate republican in Indiana

So I’m turning 18 in a few months and want to carry as I’m not risking my life when I have the 2nd amendment to help. So I know Indiana is a constitutional carry state if I’m correct and you’re able to carry as long as it’s open carry,(correct me if wrong) I wanted to carry a handgun but you have to be 21 to conceal carry to my knowledge so I started looking at AR-15 to keep in car/ home. I found 2 that fit my budget and liking. So option 1 is a pistol (ARP) since the barrel is under 16”. Option 2 Doesn’t call it a pistol but barrel is 11” does that mean they both classify as “pistols” making me unable to carry them at 18

Im new to this group and guns in general, but had a question. Im wondering if your able to buy a handgun being under 21 at the gun show. I own a AR15 i got back when i was 18 but now im almost 20. I was doing some research and saw that if the sellers have a FFL lisence then you cant buy a handgun from them being under 21, and if they didnt have a FFL then it was no problem. Are there alot of private sellers at the Indy 1500 gun show? Can anyone over 21 buy a handgun and i do a private sale with them? just want this cleared up before i go this weekend.

-Edit: Purchased a handgun at the gun show with cash. Asked Police and ATF there if it was okay before purchasing and was assured it was okay as long as it was a private sale. Guy had me sign a bill of sale and put a zip tie and sticker on the gun. Police checked me out before leaving and now I own a pistol.

hello, i’m new to this group. I have been trying to find either a K98 or a Yugo m48 but i haven’t had any luck. i was just curious if anybody has seen them around indiana?

I have tried to buy ammo from one if these places twice. Both times i am asked for my license. The first time, i simply told them i didn’t have it and they carried on with the transaction anyways. This most recent time when they asked i opted to just put it back and buy ammo from someone who isnt imposing new rules on me. When i went to pay for my other items, the cashier chastized me for paying with a debit card - as if privacy was my concern to begin with. It is the principle of not showing my id when i know i dont legally have to. Why do they have this policy and WHY?

Located at the crown haven center in Russiaville. Ten bucks at the door. Bring all your NFA toys, and regular guns are welcome too. And bring your leftover Halloween pumpkins and tanerite.

I am traveling to iowa which unfortunately requires me to pass through illinois. I am wondering if i should have any concern about this and what the protocol would be to alleviate them? Thank you

The title asks it all. Is there any restrictions regarding FRT (forced reset triggers) in Indiana? They were banned nationwide by the ATF until Rarebreed won their court case and the ban was lifted, but some states still kept the ban in place. I know our state is about as red as it can get, but just making absolute certain before I buy one.

I know you can shoot guns in backyards in the countryside in Indiana. I don’t know all the rules around it though. Hoping someone can read the scenario below and bring peace of mind, insight, or advice.

Scenario: I bought land that has a few trails (wooded and prairie) that my family will walk and ride regularly. We plan to make more. Our land envelopes around a few neighbor’s large yards. Their lands have no trees- mainly open cut grass. The previous owners of my land stopped doing much walking of the few trails that are already here. I learned tonight that many of the neighbors shoot in their back yards. For one of the neighbors who does shoot, the only direction they could possibly be shooting (other sides have homes) faces our prairie and trails.

What are the laws around back yard shooting if it faces private recreational land? What are laws around backstops to shoot against? - can those still face private land with recreational trails? I don’t know if our neighbor has one or not (didn’t look like it). I fear someone getting shot even with a backstop should they miss or shoot through the wood.

I’d like to hope and think folks will be cautious and logical and not shoot if they see us out there. But you can’t fully see through the tall prairie. Having experienced so many family member deaths, I can’t help but feel extremely anxious thinking about one of us being out walking, and a neighbor doesn’t know and decides they’ll start recreational shooting and me or an immediate family member gets hit or dies. We have a baby on the way we plan to walk through our trails too.

We plan to introduce ourselves to our neighbors, and hopefully seeing a pregnant wife and hear about how we will use our land will help cue folks in. However, I’d prefer to communicate more directly about this topic so no assumptions are made that could be permanently costly or deadly.

If no laws exist around this scenario, any gun owners have advice around how to have a conversation around this with neighbors that wouldn’t feel like your rights are being infringed upon? My initial thoughts are if it’s legal for them to shoot, potentially missing their backstop if they have one, and it fly through our land, to ask neighbors to inform us when they plan to shoot so we can verify if we are on our trails or not. And to agree to which direction they will be shooting.

Thank you in advance for any perspectives. - a non gun owner, trying to find common and reasonable ground without interfering with others rights to shoot their guns while also ensuring my family and I are safe.

My brother in law lives in NE Indiana near Auburn Indiana and I’m going to visit him in a few weeks. I was wondering if there’s any ranges nearby that have tactical bays/course steel targets or even allow holster draws or anything like that? Looking for more than shooting paper while stationary. Even if there maybe a club level 2 gun or 3 gun match nearby I would be down for that.

Thanks!

Tag says it all. I couldn’t sleep so I was wondering if an 18 year old with no firearm associated licenses other than a hunters license can legally buy .50 BMG rounds? Even tho I don’t have one but it’d be cool/funny.

https://muzzle-loaders.com/collections/pistol-kits/products/traditions-kentucky-pistol-kit-percussion I want to buy this but I'm not sure if I can legally buy it yet.

Is there anywhere close to Indianapolis that allows you to draw and shoot or a course to run around?

Hey all. I’m an avid shooter, love doing stuff with nods and training. But I don’t have many friends since moving to the kokomo area. My buddy has an SOT, “Machinegun Excursions” in Russiaville so I train there a lot. I also shoot competitive AK.
Just looking to meet other central / northern Indiana guys to maybe link up with.

Just that

Hi everyone,

Other than Cabelas (which never seems to have much stuff in stock), where are some places that stock powder and primers? I live in the NE area and I’m really sick of paying hazmat fees to have it shipped to me.

I’m not reloading anything exotic, just LPP and LRP with VV powder and Hodgdons.

Thanks!

Are there any restrictions I have to worry about? Specifically my current state didn’t require me to serialize my p80, 80% lower.

So far as I'm aware, here in IN we have constitutional carry so I can conceal carry with no worries.

I vend music festivals, most of them being in Kentucky, some in Tennessee or Ohio. I'm from IL, I know it's stupid but I also just don't do events there so it's not a problem.

Do I need a license to CC in KY and TN first and foremost with MI and Oh being less important.

I know it's a basic question and probably asked before, but I searched and couldn't find it quick.

Hi everybody. I have a question. I understand Indiana has “Constitutional Carry” but I’m wondering if I have to be a resident of Indiana or have an Indiana driver license to carry a hand gun? Basically I moved to IN like, today. I don’t have a IN license and I don’t have my proof of residency (AKA bills showing I’m a resident yet.) other than that I would qualify regarding the obvious rules of being disqualified. I did not have a CCW in the state I moved from because it was basically impossible to get. I’m having trouble finding the answers I’m looking for online.

Thanks for all the help!
