I am currently stationed in Louisiana and I OC all the time. A permit is not required in LA to OC, so I don't have my CCW yet. However, when i do get it, and I come home on leave for the holidays or whenever, will Indiana accept a LA CCW permit if I'm OCing? Or would I have to get an Indiana carry permit to OC? I know that Indiana recognizes other states permits, however what if those states don't specify OC on the permit?

Yes, Indiana honors your permit. Indiana does not issue a "concealed" license they issue a permit to "carry a handgun". Openly or concealed. Any restrictions to your permit would be imposed by the host states laws so you should be good to go. INAL.

Ok, I just wasn't sure because there is no designation on the LA permit for OC, becuase you don't need a permit to OC. that's nice to know. Thank you.

Will you be able to get a Louisiana CHP since you're in the Navy and just stationed in Louisiana?

Do you have a Louisiana DL?

The DL is what I'm waiting on. I've been a resident for over 6 months, so I can get one, I just need to get an LA license, then I'm good to go.
