(NETWORK INDIANA) Police departments have three months to get ready for the end of Indiana’s gun permit requirement.

Governor Holcomb signed the permitless carry bill last month, over objections from State Police Superintendent Doug Carter.

Holcomb says Carter has been reaching out to the 20 states which have already repealed their permit requirements — and to Vermont, which never had one. He says state police will advise local departments on what those states did to adjust.

The law spells out 10 categories of people, including convicted felons and the mentally ill, who are still barred from carrying a handgun.

Police have warned without the permit requirement, they won’t be able to readily access that information when they pull someone over. There are legal barriers to checking someone’s criminal history without probable cause, and many of the other categories don’t have a database at all.

Indiana will be the 23rd state to eliminate its permit requirement, doing so three weeks after Ohio. Alabama will become the 24th next year.
