What is required to legally sell a firearm as a dealer in Indiana?

State permit only
Federal Firearms License (FFL) only
Both a state permit and Federal Firearms License (FFL)
No licenses or permits are required

The correct answer is: Federal Firearms License (FFL) only

To legally sell firearms as a dealer in Indiana, it is necessary to hold a Federal Firearms License (FFL). This federal licensing is issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and is required for any individual or business engaging in the commercial sale of firearms. The FFL ensures that the dealer adheres to federal laws governing the sale of firearms, including background checks and record-keeping. While some states may have their own requirements, Indiana does not have a specific state permit for firearms dealers—those requirements primarily stem from federal regulations. Therefore, possessing only an FFL meets the legal obligations necessary for conducting business as a firearms dealer in the state. In addition, there are other local regulations that might apply, but the primary and essential requirement is the FFL. Those engaged in the sale of firearms without this federal license would be operating outside the law, potentially facing significant legal consequences.
