    Would not be here in Indiana but we have a very strict law regarding the transport of handguns. A resident must have a LTCH (license to carry a handgun) to take the gun from home to the range.

    As others have said, check your state's laws if you are concerned.

    Can a person get a CCW or equivalent easily in your state?

    Laws vary from state to state...but whatever the specifics of the law happen to be, if the individual carrying that gun in his briefcase is doing so without a permit to carry a concealed weapon and he has an interaction with a police officer, odds are he'd at least get arrested for it.

    Maybe he would win in court based on a technical definition. Maybe. He's still going to take the ride, though. Trying to be clever is rarely a recipe for success when criminal charges are a possibility.

    As others have said, it would depend on local/state laws.

    In my state, SC, it would not be legal, especially if he was on private property.

    There are previsions for carrying firearms with out a license, but only while hunting, fishing, or going to the range.

    Lots of wisdom in this statement.

    Sort of like the guys that think they are clever and disassemble a handgun to ship/mail it. You know ... cause then it's parts and not a firearm.

    What about shipping the parts separately in multiple packages?
