Indiana allows permitless concealed carry by adults at least 18 who are not prohibited persons, and continues to issue optional handgun licenses for reciprocity and convenience.
Effective July 1, 2022, House Enrolled Act 1296 amended IC 35-47-2 to allow most adults 18 and older to carry a handgun in Indiana without a state-issued license, provided they are not a prohibited person under state or federal law. Indiana still issues a License to Carry a Handgun, available without fee, which is useful for reciprocity in other states and for purchases. Carrying in prohibited locations such as schools, courthouses, and certain federal property remains illegal regardless of license status.
Unlawful carrying by a prohibited person is a Level 5 or Level 6 felony; carrying in prohibited places carries criminal penalties under state law.
