Who is eligible to apply for a handgun license in Indiana?

  1. Anyone over the age of 21

  2. Residents of Indiana only

  3. Anyone over the age of 18 with no felony record

  4. US citizens living in Indiana with no felony convictions

The correct answer is: Anyone over the age of 18 with no felony record

The eligibility to apply for a handgun license in Indiana is primarily determined by age and criminal history. The correct answer indicates that anyone over the age of 18 and without a felony record can apply for a handgun license. This includes a broader range of individuals than just those who are over 21, as the law permits those who have reached adulthood (18 years old) to apply, provided they meet the other requirements. Additionally, Indiana law specifically ensures that individuals with felony records are disqualified from obtaining a handgun license. Therefore, the emphasis on having no felony conviction is crucial in determining eligibility. Other options limit eligibility by age, residency status, or citizenship, which do not accurately reflect the broader eligibility criteria established by Indiana law. The correct answer aligns with the laws that govern who can legally apply for a handgun license within the state, emphasizing the importance of age and criminal history over residency or citizenship status.
