Indiana became the 24th constitutional carry state in the nation Monday as Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a law repealing the permit requirement to possess handguns.

Permits to require handguns will be required for a few months longer, but won't be necessary beginning July 1.

By the governor's signing, Indiana joined 23 other states that allow residents to carry handguns without permits, which gun rights advocates call constitutional carry, in reference to the Second Amendment. Once the law takes effect July 1, people just won't have to take the additional step of obtaining a license.Generally, people in Indiana are legally barred from possessing a handgun for reasons such as having a felony conviction or having a dangerous mental illness.
