no waiting time, you can buy it if you dont have your permit but you have to transport it to you home...... R
I don't know if this is sarcastic or not. But its perfectly legal to transport a gun you just purchased home without a permit. Just don't load it or wear it. Put the gun unloaded in the trunk and drive home. You will break no laws even if you don't have a permit
From the ICC:I don't know if this is sarcastic or not. But its perfectly legal to transport a gun you just purchased home without a permit. Just don't load it or wear it. Put the gun unloaded in the trunk and drive home. You will break no laws even if you don't have a permit
It all comes down to do you have care and control of the gun.
The other day my wife brought me my guns, her permit had expired so she put the guns in the trunk and locked the ammo in the glove box.
I have been told by the ISP that this is a legal way to transport them.
I'm not a lawyer but this is what I was told.
BTW she is going to renew her permit next week.
So, for a FTF sale does the person selling need to require the buyer to hold a CCW permit?
If you have a ccw from Indiana, can you take your gun out of state without breaking the law?
related question: was there ever a waiting period to purchase a hand gun in Indiana? for some reason back in the late 90s I thought that there was a 7 day waiting period if you didnt have a permit?
(Don't shoot the messenger!)
For what it's worth, I was told by an IN officer (which may not be the actual written law) that the issue of transportation without LTCH is having the firearm and ammo in the same quarters. I have my permit, but got into this discussion with a group of people. He indicated that the gun must not be loaded, and it must be stored/transported in a seperate part of the car from the ammo, and you can't be able to access both items from any single point in the vehicle. So, guns in trunk, ammo in front or vice versa. If you do this, he inidcated you can transport them as long as you have use for them at your destination, i.e., you can't just be "transporting" them every day and leave them in your car. He gave the example of going to a friends house to shoot, and said when you get back home they need to come out of your car.
(11) any person while carrying a handgun unloaded and in a secure wrapper from the place of purchase to his dwelling or fixed place of business, or to a place of repair or back to his dwelling or fixed place of business, or in moving from one dwelling or business to another.
Seems like there use to be a waiting period.
