Things to remember:
An Indiana handgun license is not recognized by most other
states and may not allow you to legally carry a handgun
outside the State of Indiana. You should always check with
local authorities before transporting a handgun across state
lines.
If you are ever stopped or approached by the police and you
are carrying a handgun, advise the officer and show him/her
your license to carry the handgun.
