I have to disagree with many of the above comments. WE (collective citizens of the United States) have the RIGHT to bear arms. This RIGHT does not have restrictions on Race, Religion or manner of dress. The only age requirement in the state of Indiana is that the person is over 21.
Now I do not advocate, nor would I sell to anyone that is, or appears to be intoxicated, mentally unstable etc. But to restrict sales to people that don't "appear" to be the kind of citizen you like smacks of "Gun Control" in my estimation! To try and "judge" what kind of person you should sell your firearm to, is something I would not do!
How many here would be up in arms and boycott a shop if it became known a shop refused to sell a firearm to a person due to his appearance? According to the ATF laws, as long as the person is of legal age (for private sale in Indiana 18 YO), a resident of the state, and you have no "REASONABLE CAUSE" to know or suspect the person is illegal to possess a firearm you can sell the firearm to him without any issue.
