New to Indiana

[LOWLEFT1]

I am new to Indiana and to this forum. I am sorry if this question is in the wrong place. In Illinois to own firearms you need a FOID card. You also need it to buy ammo. Do I need to do anything ( report, register, etc) my guns before I bring them from Illinois? I have asked the ladies behind the counter at the State Police and County. One gave me a Conceal Carry application and one gave me a license transfer application. I am not asking the right question but I don't know who to ask.

Welcome to a free state.
No need to register guns in Indiana.
But bringing guns from another state may be different.

Welcome, you will find very much good information here about Indiana and many people who are knowledgeable of Indiana Law.

There is no gun registration in Indiana that I know of. They don't know how to answer you because there is no such thing. Lots of good info in the INGO FAQ:
https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...discussion/16185-ingunowners_faqs_sticky.html

If you are becoming an Indiana Resident, your out of state License or Permit is no good to you any more here. You would probably do well to fill out that LTCH (License to Carry a Handgun) application but you will have to get your driver's license updated first. There is no such thing as an Indiana concealed carry lisense, it is an lTCH (License to Carry a Handgun).

You also will not be able to buy a gun from a dealer without having your dirvers' license updated with your new address too.

Welcome to a free state.

Isn't it a wonderful irony that Illinois prides itself as "The Land of Lincoln"?

(Then again.... Lincoln. I think I get gun control.... )

Welcome to the group!



and to the firearm friendly state of Indiana. The only thing you need to buy a firearm in Indiana is money. If you buy from a dealer, you also need to pass that federal background check, but that is all!

Buying ammo? Just bring money!

I moved to Indiana in 1985. My guns came with me along with my wife's pots and pans and furniture. I didn't give either a second thought.

It never occurred to me to ask for permission or to get a permit.

I was truly ignorant of the "law".

Not that I was right. I just didn't think about it.

I respect your question, just not the worry behind the question.

Is the free American citizen really worried about such things? I fear maybe so.

And probably rightfully so. Things are changing fast. Too fast.

Beware! The oncoming wave of firearms freedom might make you giddy.

Welcome to Indiana.!! Just do a license to carry if you want to conceal carry. As said before, get your DL updated to Indiana, then, if you desire, apply for the LTCH. Apply for the life time verion of the license.

Welcome to Indiana!
I'm sure it will feel good to throw that FOID card away.
BTW we have a LTCH, carry open or concealed. Carry how you want, it's up to you.
Enjoy your new found freedom.

 

[LionWeight]

I thought I read somewhere when I was checking into it (having just moved here) that in order to get a LTCH you had to be a resident, but that you need to live here 6 months to be considered a resident?

When I moved to Indiana from the peoples republik to the west, I got my LTCH in about three weeks. Wouls have been sooner but I was busy unpacking.

FOID CARD? ...FOID CARD? you dont need no stinkin Foid card.welcome to INGO & a free state

 

[Fullmag]

Thinking the ladies behind the counter have no idea about gun registration. Is the transfer for your DL? Here in Indiana no one knows how many guns anybody owns or how much ammo you just bought. Welcome to INGO, Indiana and Freedom from the oppressor.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Low, you may want to read through INGO's FAQ. Very helpful for new residents.

If you are downtown, we can do lunch.
