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

  1. U.S. citizens only

  2. Indiana residents or persons with a regular place of business in Indiana

  3. Only military personnel

  4. Non-residents with no exceptions

The correct answer is: Indiana residents or persons with a regular place of business in Indiana

Eligibility to apply for a handgun license in Indiana is primarily extended to individuals who are either residents of Indiana or have a regular place of business in the state. This includes a wide range of individuals, such as those who may work in Indiana but live elsewhere, allowing them access to the necessary licensing for firearm ownership and carry. This provision is in place to accommodate people who may not be full-time residents but are engaged in ongoing activities within Indiana, thus establishing a connection to the state. It ensures that those who frequently conduct business in Indiana are not excluded from obtaining a handgun license, promoting responsible firearm ownership among individuals who spend significant time there, even if they don't reside in the state. The other choices do not reflect the full scope of eligibility under Indiana law, as they exclude various eligible applicants who meet specific criteria for application.
