I asked the same question while recently incarcerated in the Knox County, Indiana jail, and all thirty-one inmates in my block agreed that it is lawful to do so. ALL other types of firearms, however, are off limits. Another great alternative is high-powered air rifles. They're not just kid's toys anymore!
