Yes. Indiana for the most part respects the freedom, liberty, and right to carry a handgun, the requirement of getting a license to do so notwithstanding. That someone else does not does not mean we should change our rules to punish them. Instead, we should focus our efforts on correcting their laws, showing their legislators that we have very few incidents, perhaps even fewer per capita than do they, (though I've not checked whether that's fact or not.) If their legislators figure out that their state is losing tourism dollars, that might be another reason why they might change the laws. Regardless, our laws are mostly good, but also have room for improvement. Let's us concentrate on changing things for the better, not adding restrictions to anyone.
Have patience with me, I am kind of new to this. I am an Illinois resident with a Florida non-resident permit. Indiana does not honor the permit and it is illegal for me to carry in Indiana because I am not a Florida resident?
Constitutional Carry would be wonderful, but I'd really like to see a removal of the prohibition on carry on school property by LTCH holders... it's not like we're a threat there or anywhere else. I would also be tickled to see the removal of the prohibition on carry at the State Capitol. In short, I want to see the end of the "gun free zone"
Will there be an age restriction? In other words, should kids under 18 be allowed to carry guns? I'm of two minds:
1. Teenage kids may have trouble controlling impulse or making judgment calls. Do we want to arm kids and let them have grade disputes with teachers?
2. The kids at the high school I went to used to get mugged regularly on campus by gun-wielding motherglockers. They'd come in during lunch time, or during class time and just work through the class rooms. They usually outarmed the security, and so campus security usually was too afraid to do anything. If we had guns, we would have been able to protect ourselves.

It'd likely be treated much like alcohol, tobacco, ...
Sounds like the ATF.
Same as with the age of consent, too, which Indiana is also lenient with (moreso than other states)

Are there any circumstances under which an Indiana resident can carry in Illinois?
