<P> Local laws regulating the possession and ownership of ammunition, firearms and shooting accessories are prohibited per IC 35--47--11.1--2, subject to the exemptions listed in IC 35--47--11.1--4 . (New provisions effective 2011 Jul 01 .) </P> <P> Indiana requires a license for most methods of carrying a handgun . Indiana laws are silent concerning the manner of carry; therefore, the laws cover open carry, concealed carry, vehicle carry, and locked case carry . There are exceptions for carrying a handgun unloaded, not readily accessible, and secured in a case in a vehicle, on your own property, from place of purchase and to a firearm range for the purpose of practice . </P> <P> Indiana is a "shall issue" state for the License To Carry a Handgun . A license to carry will be issued to individuals age 18 or older who meet a number of legal requirements . Currently both limited term and unlimited lifetime licenses are available . </P> <P> Grounds for disqualification include a conviction for a felony or for misdemeanor domestic battery . A license can also be denied if the applicant has been arrested for a violent crime and "a court has found probable cause to believe that the person committed the offense charged". Documented substance abuse within a certain time frame is a disqualifier, as is documented evidence of any given person's "propensity for violent or emotionally unstable conduct ." </P>
