Gun Permit

  • The Homecroft Police Department does not process Gun Permit Applications or do fingerprinting for the application.
  • On July 1, 2022, the State of Indiana will no longer require a handgun permit to legally carry, conceal or
    transport a handgun within the state. This law DOES NOT allow everyone to carry a handgun as Indiana
    law contains certain criteria which must be met for a person to legally carry within the state.
    • It is the recommendation of HPD that individuals still apply for a Gun Permit
    • A person MUST NOT be a PROHIBITED PERSON as defined by IC 35-47-2-1.5
      • A person who has been Convicted of a State or Federal offense Punishable By A Term Of Imprisonment Exceeding One (1) Year
      • A person who has been Convicted of a Crime of Domestic Violence (IC 35-31.5-2-78), Domestic Battery (IC 35-42-2-1.3) or Criminal Stalking (IC 35-45-10-5) (and Firearms Rights NOT Restored)
      • A person Restrained by an Order of Protection issued under IC 34-26-5 (does not include Workplace Violence Orders)
      • A Fugitive From Justice 
      • A person under Indictment (felony charges filed by a prosecutor)
      • A person who has been adjudicated dangerous under IC 35-47-14-6;
      • A person who has been adjudicated a mental defective;
      • A person who has been committed to a mental institution.
      • A person dishonorably discharged from military service or the National Guard.
      • A person who renounces the person's United States citizenship in the manner described in 8 U.S.C. 1481.
      • A person who is less than eighteen (18) years of age, unless authorized under IC 35-47-10;
      • A person who is less than twenty-three (23) years of age and has an adjudication as a delinquent child for an act described by IC 35-47-4-5, unless authorized under IC 35-47-10;
      • An Alien.
    • If you are considering carrying a handgun and are not certain as to whether you fall under one of the above-mentioned categories, the Indiana State Police recommends you apply for a state-issued handgun permit:
      • The permit process is free
      • ISP will conduct the necessary background checks to help ensure compliance with IC 35-47-2-
        1.5 & IC 35-47-1-7
      • It may be necessary to have a license to carry if you travel to another state which requires a
        handgun permit to legally carry and/or transport 
    • If you are considering carrying a handgun and are not certain as to whether you fall under one of the above-mentioned categories, and you do not wish to apply for a free handgun permit, It is recommended that you speak to an attorney to determine your personal compliance with IC 35- 47-2-1.5 prior to carrying a handgun under this new law.
