What is Indiana's stance on 'Open Carry' of firearms?

  1. Prohibited

  2. Allowed with a Handgun License

  3. Allowed without any license

  4. Allowed only in rural areas

The correct answer is: Allowed with a Handgun License

In Indiana, open carry of firearms is allowed, but it requires a handgun license. This means that individuals who wish to openly carry a firearm in a visible manner must obtain the appropriate licensure before doing so. The law is structured to ensure that those who carry handguns openly have undergone background checks and meet specific eligibility requirements, thereby promoting responsible firearm ownership and public safety. While open carry is permissible, it is essential for gun owners to be aware of local laws and regulations, as some municipalities may have additional restrictions or regulations concerning firearm carry and visibility. Given the options, the indication that open carry is allowed only with a handgun license accurately reflects Indiana's legal framework surrounding the open carry of firearms.
