This will cause problems, since it looks like a firearm. Indiana has a concealed carry law for firearms. The state statute does not specifically address such weapons. However, most municipalities have their own ordinances concerning such issues and the best option would be to contact the local police department for accurate information. That might cause problems but according to Federal law airsoft guns are catagorized as toys with the only thing being that they carry a quarter-inch orange blaze at the end of the barrel so law enforcement can tell the difference. The only legal exception to this rule is if the airsoft gun is to be used in the production of a film then you can take off the blaze. As a result, many airsoft teams will produce short promotional or exhibition films toshow good reason for removing the blaze. This can often lead to run ins with local authorities, especially when poor judgment and an unsuspecting public are involved. An example of such an incident happened recently on Hilton Head Island, SC. Two teens who were preparing to film a project for school using several airsoft guns when one realized that he had forgotten something at home. Without thinking, the teen set out for his home which was on the opposite side of a Golf course fairway with a black-tipped airsoft M16 strapped to his back. This alarmed several people who called the gated community's security service. The security officers took the airsoft guns. This action was however, illegal on the part of the security services as they seized property that was entirely legal and issued a firearms citation for items that are officially classified as toys. So, returning the original question, airsoft guns are legal in the State of Indiana, so you can carry it around as long as you follow the guidlines.
