Is open carry of a firearm legal in Indiana?

Yes, with a valid license
No, it is strictly prohibited
Yes, but only for residents
Yes, but only in rural areas

The correct answer is: Yes, with a valid license

The correct response is affirmatively supported by Indiana law, which permits the open carry of a firearm as long as the individual possesses a valid handgun license. Indiana recognizes the right to carry firearms openly in public spaces, provided the necessary legal documentation is obtained. This licensing process includes background checks and other requirements meant to ensure responsible firearm ownership. Variations in responses regarding the legality of open carry often stem from misunderstandings about residency requirements or firearm restrictions in certain areas. However, Indiana law does not limit open carry to residents alone or restrict it exclusively to rural locales; both residents and non-residents with valid permits can openly carry firearms across the state.
