OK, newbie alert...
Is this true? It is illegal to carry a handgun in Indiana? Maybe some links to some threads around here would be great, but I will also try to search. This has never been my understanding from what I have read previously. (I believe you, I just guess that this shocks me a bit.) I have always heard that the law is silent on this count.
If the law was silent on this, you could carry a handgun without being licensed. The license provides an exception to the crime.

See 35-47-2-24 in particular: you must prove that you meet an exception to the crime of carrying a handgun in Indiana; you are not presumed to have met an exception.
