Firearms

The Indiana Gun Law and Civilian Self-Defense Course is intended for any citizen wanting to learn more about the laws in the State of Indiana that govern the carry and use of firearms.  It is NOT intended as a firearms maintenance class or safety course and individuals interested in those should look at one of the other, more specific options. The class had previously been two separate classes that built on each other. We now provide an approximate 3 hour combined class. 

This outreach training block is for anyone curious about the various firearms laws in the State of Indiana and the consequences of having to use force. The instruction will cover statutory definitions, explanations and practical explanations for both Indiana and some Federal Regulations. It will also cover licensing and reciprocity issues as well as answering questions about permitless carry under recent legislation. Lastly, the course will touch on self-defensive use of force considerations for civilians. The course is taught by a license attorney, with over three decades of Indiana Law Enforcement experience and service as a firearms and use of force instructor. This is a new version of the training offered in 2022, now condensed to a single three-hour block. The instructor will remain available for specific questions and answers after the training concludes.

TRAINING DATE: June 11th 6pm- approximately 9pm

LOCATION: Noblesville City Hall - 2nd floor Conference Room (A214)
