I might be purchasing an out of state handgun. What FFL dealer would you recommend for the Carmel area? Cooperative, responsive, and timely...

Also looking for an indoor pistol range (preferably a range that doesn't require a costly subscription because I'm not sure how much longer I'll be here in the short term.

I'm from another part of the state and just spent six years abroad (private and NGO sectors).

You should probably first figure out the legality of your ownership of a handgun considering the details of your years spent abroad. Visit a local Carmel police office and ask them. Don't forget to outline your years spent abroad.

Start with Zach at ZRTS in noblesville. He doesn't have a range but he can help you with your other needs. https://zrtacticalsolutions.com/

Varietal Arms is in Carmel.  He's great.
