Can Indiana residents carry a concealed handgun without a license?

Yes, but there are specific location restrictions

The correct answer is: No, a license is always required

In Indiana, residents are required to obtain a license to carry a handgun, whether it is openly or concealed. This requirement is in place to ensure that individuals wishing to carry firearms have met certain safety and legal knowledge standards, which include undergoing background checks and training. The intention behind needing a license is to promote responsible gun ownership and enhance public safety. While some states have moved toward permitless carry laws allowing individuals to carry guns without a license, Indiana maintains its licensing requirement to regulate who is legally permitted to carry a concealed firearm. This is reflective of a broader responsibility vested in the state to ensure that citizens follow specific legal structures when handling firearms. Therefore, without a valid handgun license, a resident cannot carry a concealed handgun in Indiana.
