I was checking out the rules at a local range and ran across this faq. (I added the bolding to the relevant section) It is from the Indiana criminal code.
IC 35-47-5-11 “Armor-piercing handgun ammunition”; related offenses Sec. 11. (a) As used in this section, “armor-piercing handgun ammunition” means a cartridge that: (1) can be fired in a handgun; and (2) will, upon firing, expel a projectile that has a metal core and an outer coating of plastic. (b) A person who knowingly or intentionally: (1) manufactures; (2) possesses; (3) transfers possession of; or (4) offers to transfer possession of; armor-piercing handgun ammunition commits a Level 5 felony. (c) This section does not apply to nylon coated ammunition, plastic shot capsules, or ammunition designed to be used in rifles or shotguns. (d) This section does not apply to a law enforcement officer who is acting in the course of the officer’s official duties or to a person who manufactures or imports for sale or sells armor-piercing handgun ammunition to a law enforcement agency. As added by P.L.332-1983, SEC.1. Amended by P.L.327-1987, SEC.2; P.L.158-2013, SEC.596.
There is a house bill HB1095 to repeal this law, but as of the writing of this FAQ, it had not been passed.
What rubbish! I will comment no further because I don't want to get political.
