- IndianaPermitted
Indiana sets no state limit on magazine capacity — there is no cap on how many rounds a magazine can hold. Indiana's prohibited-weapons chapter (IC 35-47-5) restricts machine guns and armor-piercing handgun ammunition but sets no magazine-capacity limit, and IC 35-47-11.1 bars local governments from regulating firearms, ammunition or firearm accessories — so no local limit applies either.
