How must firearms be transported in a vehicle under Indiana law?

Unloaded and locked in the trunk
Loaded and on the passenger seat
Unloaded and in the glove compartment
Any of the above, if the person has a valid carry license

The correct answer is: Any of the above, if the person has a valid carry license

Under Indiana law, individuals with a valid handgun license have the ability to carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle. This includes the option to have the firearm on their person or secured within the vehicle. Therefore, the response indicating that any of the listed scenarios is permissible with a valid carry license is accurate, as licensed individuals are afforded more leeway in how they transport firearms. The reason for this allowance is rooted in the recognition of individuals' rights to carry firearms for self-defense and personal protection, enabling them to transport them in a manner that is both practical and legally compliant when they possess the required licensing. Moreover, the other scenarios seem to suggest more restrictive measures that apply to individuals who do not have a carry license, which highlights the distinction between licensed and unlicensed transport of firearms. Unlicensed transport generally requires firearms to be unloaded and in certain secure compartments in the vehicle to minimize risks and ensure safety.
