I have heard that I have to either have my concealed carry permit or a target permit to take a handgun to a public range.
Is this nonsense true?
Is there anyway around this?
If not what does it take to get a target permit besides the money and where can I get one?
Thanks
If you are from Fishers I believe you to be an Indiana resident. If this is true, you do have to have a LICENSE (not a permit) to take a handgun to the range.
Indiana has two types of licenses.
Personal protection (Carry in any form, not limited to concealed)
Hunting & Target Shooting. To and from activity ONLY.
Depending on where you live you need to go to your local police or sheriff office and get the paperwork. Most help you with everything you need.
I would get the Lifetime personal protection because it covers everything and you won't be in a situation where you wished you had it.
If not what does it take to get a target permit besides the money and where can I get one?
get a lifetime personal protection (unlimited) license. Once you get a license, you can't "upgrade" until it expires
The lifetime permit expires when you do.
Oh, I've already applied for my lifetime. It should be getting to the State today. I'm patiently waiting......
But I am ITCHING to hit the range with my new baby. Is the target permit any faster......like INSTANT?
Thanks

That is crazy........just crazy.
I had no idea the laws were so restrictive here.
Oh well, I guess I just wait to exercise my 2nd Amendment rights.
Thanks for the info all!
All of this is very good but you still can't take YOUR firearm to the range to shoot it without some stupid permit to do so.
This rates as one of the most ridicules things I've ever heard.
Just out of curiosity, which states have you lived in?I have lived in 4 states in the past 10 years. Of those 4, IN ranks #4 for gun rights.
Of states I've visited it probably ranks in the bottom 50%.
I guess I wait...
Thanks for the info and I'm very glad I asked before going to the range. Thank you everyone.

I would go for the lifetime while it is still available.
