Quoted: I was just wondering if it was legal for private hand gun sales.

Yes, Indiana is one of the last free states!
Like Dog1 said, just make sure you're both IN residents.
If you ever do a FTF sale, they're always a little awkward. Meet during daylight in a neutral place so you can take a GOOD look at the firearm. If there happens to be one, meeting at a gunshow or a shooting range works well. Also, believe it or not, if you're a trade with a LEO, the police station is good too. A couple guys fondling a firearm doesn't draw much attention in those places,.... unlike a McDonald's parking lot.
Make sure you describe your vehicle & yourself while you're setting up the meeting, or you're both liable to be passing each other up for twenty minutes.
Most important of all --
trade information when you do a FTF, it protects both of you! For all the buyer knows the gun is a sizzler or has been used in a crime. For all the seller knows, it's being purchased TO be used in a crime, or to be recklessly resold to a third person who'll do
who knows what with it.
Never let the paper trail end with you -- know who you're selling to! For anyone who does a FTF sale or trade, I'd strongly suggest clicking on the appropriate link below, print
two out (1 copy for the seller, 1 for the buyer, and USE them! As long as nothing goes wrong, nobody except the buyer and seller will ever see a copy.
