Does Indiana recognize handgun licenses from other states?

  1. Yes, from all states

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only from states with reciprocal agreements

  4. Yes, if the person is passing through Indiana for less than 24 hours

The correct answer is: Yes, from all states

Indiana recognizes handgun licenses from other states, but not universally from all states. The correct understanding is that Indiana honors handgun licenses from states that have mutual agreements, establishing reciprocity. This means that if an individual possesses a valid handgun license from a state that Indiana recognizes due to such an agreement, they are allowed to carry in Indiana under that license. However, since Indiana does not recognize handgun licenses from every state indiscriminately, the choice indicating that it accepts licenses from all states would be inaccurate. Understanding the specific nature of reciprocal agreements is crucial for gun owners traveling across state lines to ensure they comply with local laws and recognize the legitimacy of their licensing when they travel to Indiana.
