There are none. You can pack your vehicle full of rifles, loaded or unloaded. You can have them cased, uncased, etc. There are no restrictions.

Note that the usual location restrictions still apply (federal property, schools, etc.)

don't drive around at night shining a light at critters...
DNR could bust you for hunting violations.

Just shining a light? From a vehicle?

 

[singlestacksig]

yeah, if you are in a vehicle and shine a light off the road, and DNR / state trooper sees you, they could stop you for suspition of spotlighting animals, and if they find a loaded rifle.....

No laws on Indiana books for transporting nor carrying except what has been said before in the other threads. Sometimes life is great in Indiana.

legal as long as you are not spotlighting deer or something

There is also a DNR rule against having a loaded uncased long gun while riding on an ATV. It's in the hunting guide under general regulations.
