Hi I hunt deer with my handguns here in Michigan and out west, can I hunt in Indiana with a handgun? if so could I use lead bullets (nonexpanding) on deer? does my gun have to have a 4, 6, 8 inch barrel? thanks in advance.
No.Is it legal to hunt deer in Indiana with a .380 Beretta??
To add a little to this, a rifle barrel can be cut down to under 16 inches, however one must file for, and be approved for the proper liscensing for that altered gun. There are also steap fees involved, but the fees are cheaper than the fines and jail time for violating handgun laws. I'm not exactly shure of the fees and paperwork, but it's worth a look if your thinking about a DIY gun.BTW, the handgun must be a handgun, not a "short barrelled rifle" in legal handgun form.
According to correspondence I had with the state, they (the state) will not recognize such items, even though they exist as such in Federal form.
FWIW you do the paperwork and get the Fed approval and tax stamp ($200 for the tax stamp) BEFORE you mod the gun, and then it has to be identified on the gun that it is now the registered short barrelled rifle.To add a little to this, a rifle barrel can be cut down to under 16 inches, however one must file for, and be approved for the proper liscensing for that altered gun.

Thanks. This is the information that I heard, but didn't want to post on that alone. And yes, DO NOT modify the gun until you're permitted.FWIW you do the paperwork and get the Fed approval and tax stamp ($200 for the tax stamp) BEFORE you mod the gun, and then it has to be identified on the gun that it is now the registered short barrelled rifle.
