Firearms Restrictions Sept 29, 2014 12:51:43 GMT -5

What exactly are the laws when it comes to discharging a firearm while hunting?

Are there restrictions about how close to a school? Churches, houses, roads? Amount of acreage?

I would imagine that local municipalities have their own laws, but what state laws are you aware of that some of us may not be?

The only state laws that I am aware of is that you cannot discharge a firearm from, across, or into a road or a roads right of way. You are correct that various cities have city ordinances that regulate discharging firearms or bow and some include air guns within city limits.

The information provided in the answers to these questions is not to be considered or implied to be legal advice. The information is to educate individuals on Indiana Code and the Indiana Administrative Code as they pertain to regulations with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. A person should contact an attorney for legal advice.
