Firearm Purchase Question

[gvsugod]

I just moved here, have not yet received my Indiana DL, still waiting on other documentation to arrive from Michigan Secretary of State. My question is if I was so inclined to purchase a private collection gun at a gun show would I be able to without an Indiana DL? I can provide other forms of documentation that I am a resident, lease, check stubs, job offer etc. Thanks for the input.

Many people won't even ask to see your ID. It'll depend on the seller.

Welcome to Indiana.

Dealers are a no go, but private sellers mostly dont give a hoot. Personally the goverment shouldnt be able to tell me what I can and cannot have in the first place. So do what you you think is best but I wouldnt worry about it. Just check to make sure its not stolen.

Ya I know dealers are out, but at the Greenfield gun show I may pick something up if I see something I like. Just wanted to see if it was Kosher first.

Why not get an Indiana State ID card?

I am going to get it all, just waiting on some paperwork to properly establish residence, get the whole lot of Indiana goodies, plates, drivers license, etc.

This is probably the easiest way, if a dealer or private seller would want to see an ID

I don't think you are allowed to have both a Driver's License and a State ID anymore. They have changed some of the rules the past couple of years. It used to be okay to have both.

Uh oh, looks like I'm going to go on the lam for a while.

I'll live with rhino. No BMV copper will look for me there.

Your mistake was in being born too far north. Next time, get born in Indiana and save yourself all the hassle!

I have a few copies myself I think. I was supposed to shred/destroy the old when the new came in but I always seem to misplace them.

Guess maybe they should start taking your old and giving you your new at the BMV again? Oh wait... DHS won't let them do that.

I was born in the best part of northern Michigan, where the gun owners group is every person north of Cadillac.
