    Default Pa to Indiana

    My wife went to Indianapolis to visit a friend. She ended up in the hospital. I am leaving early tomorrow morning. For Indianapolis, my understanding is my LTCF will be recognized in West Virginia, Ohio, And Indiana. My understanding is in Ohio if Law enforcement stops me I must declare at once my LTCF and handgun immediately. Are their any other restrictions I should be aware of thanks

    I just got back from Indiana, and I carried the entire way. You're right, only stipulation is you have to inform if you get stopped in Ohio. I don't know if any other restrictions in the other states. I did print out the Handgun.US forms for WV, OH, and IN and carry them with me.

    If you're concerned about masking, no one that I encountered in any of those states cares if you're wearing one or not. If you've never made the drive before try to stay out of the downhill/uphill run around Somerset at night. There's a lot of construction going on and the lanes are narrow. Watch your speed, I'd say no more than 9 above any posted limit on the highways and you should be good. I made it across Ohio in almost exactly 3 hours coming home.

    There is construction on I70 in Ohio, but I think they're only working at night. On the way back be wary of the construction signs through Columbus, It's very easy to miss a lane change and end up on I71 heading north.

    It's a long flat straight road through OH and IN. Between exit 75 on the TP through WV, it's full of hills and curves.

    You will be fine in Indiana, lived in Indy for a stint, nobody cares. *No gun* signs have no force of law (trespass), and you can enter an establishment serving alcohol. Watch the hospital rules, they can be sticklers.

    Prayers for your wife. I recommend as others said to review each state on www.handgunlaw.us but the basics have been covered already.

    I was out in Sullivan, OH and passed by a little country store with a group of guys out front. At least one was carry, probably others, but the one I noticed was doing it Magnum PI style

    I'm leaving for Mt. Hope Ohio tomorrow morning at 11. If you see a white 15 passenger ford transit tearing down the highway loaded up with Amish, get out of my way. If you see us at Sheetz, stop and say Hi.

    Good old Indy, even after 5 yrs. selling in Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio the only place that I was shot at. 10:30 at night about 6 blocks from the convention Center. As I went over the tracks someone tried to shoot out my right rear tire and creased the fender just above the tire. If they had hit the tire at that time we would have pulled over right into the lot that the shot came from. Being a chicken about live fire exercised we ran like hell for the motel.
