Talked to one of the CO's here in Indiana and its confirmed you are now allowed to carry a handgun while hunting with archery equipment for personal protection. He made it very clear though do not use your sidearm to dispatch a wounded deer. You can have your handgun concealed or exposed. It does not change the fact that you still have to have a Personal Protection Permit. To obtain one you will need to go to your local Law Enforcement office and fill out a application and supply them with the funds they need. Takes 4-8 weeks depending on how backlogged they are.

GLOCK 20 will be with me hunting this year.
