How do I register a firearm?

[Eric05]

I recently bought a handgun from a friend. I want to start carrying it but it is not registered in my name. What do I need to do?

 

[eldirector]

Nothing.

There is no firearm registration in Indiana.

I assume you have your License to Carry a Handgun (LTCH)? If not, look here:

At least you are trying to be responsible but one of the perks is you dont have to register it!

Well, first you have to move to California or someplace like that. Then you can register your guns with their local enforcers. Here in Indiana all you need to do is nothing. We don't have gun registration here.

Thanks! I was just making sure. I'm getting my carry license very soon!

Since you asked this question, I'll assume you don't have your LTCH so don't start "carrying it" yet! Read up on the IN laws first. This forum can be a good source of information.

If you want it in your name...just get a receipt from the guy you got it from.

I have my gun in my name. I'm Clint Glock19 Cloys. It wasn't too hard to do.

Seriously to the OP, everyone above me is right in their statments.

P.S. I'm thinking about changing to Clint Cloys G19, you know, to sound more prestigious, like adding ESQ to the end. Whadda ya think?

"In his name" with who? Or were you just talking about some sort of proof of ownership?

NOT in INDIANA

Move to Washington D.C., New York or California.

Just be ready for G23 owners to look down on your inferior class.

We don't have registration, we don't like registration we don't want registration. I understand you're looking to do the right thing and that's commendable, so I'd recommend taking a look at the following resources and doing your own research on the laws so you know what you can and cannot do and what you need to do and what you don't have to do. Also check out the training forum on here and enhance your knowledge further in that realm as well.

Indiana Code TITLE 35, Article 47 Table of Contents

There are also many books on the topic of carry, both in general terms and in Indiana specific.

Or you could always move to Chicago!

There is no registry in Indiana. You can go to a FFL dealer with the person who sold it to you and do a dealer transfer. Most of the time the dealer will charge for it.

Put it in a Holster!

Why would he do that? FFL is only required for out of state transfers.

Move to Washington D.C., New York or California.

Or, sadly, Michigan.

Choose the electronic fingerprint path when you do. It will speed up delivery of your LTCH by at least several weeks.
