So you are of the opinion that a person without a license may transport a handgun to a hotel in Indiana? Please show me the IC that provides for transport of a firearm without a license, considering there is no purchase here. If I understand you correctly you are saying FOPA covers the transport part, and IC covers the hotel?
I cannot show you IC because according to IC the law is being violated. That is the reason that the FOPA was written and why it supersedes the IC. However as for this discussion, the FOPA covers the transport portion (presuming gun is unloaded, secured outside of passenger compartment, ditto ammo) by trumping IC and the IC covers possession inside the hotel room.
