Are automatic weapons allowed in Indiana?

Yes, without restriction
No, under any circumstances
Yes, with a permit
Yes, but only for law enforcement and military

The correct answer is: Yes, with a permit

The correct answer is that automatic weapons are allowed in Indiana, but this is contingent upon obtaining the appropriate permits. In order to legally possess an automatic weapon, an individual must comply with federal regulations, including registering the firearm with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and paying the necessary tax. Indiana state laws also align with these federal regulations, meaning that while there may be additional state-specific requirements, possession is not outright banned for individuals meeting the legal criteria. This context clarifies why simply asserting that automatic weapons are allowed without restrictions would be inaccurate, as the legal possession of such firearms indeed involves specific regulations and paperwork. The option indicating an absolute prohibition under any circumstances does not reflect the legal framework, and while law enforcement and military personnel may have different access to such weapons, that does not encompass the full scope of legal civilian ownership when proper measures are undertaken.
