IN SB0200

Firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition manufactured in Indiana from basic materials and kept within state borders are exempt from federal law and regulation, including registration requirements under Congress's interstate commerce authority

Qualifying items must be manufactured commercially or privately in Indiana without significant parts imported from other states, and must be stamped "Made in Indiana" on a central metallic part like the receiver or frame

Exemptions do not apply to crew-served weapons, firearms with bore diameter greater than 1.5 inches using smokeless powder, automatic weapons firing multiple projectiles per trigger pull, or explosive ammunition

Generic parts like springs, screws, nuts, or pins imported from other states do not disqualify a firearm from the exemption, nor do firearm accessories attached to an otherwise qualifying Indiana-made firearm

Effective date of July 1, 2010, with the chapter applying to items manufactured after October 1, 2010
