Kelly, you can do it at the local FFL Dealer. They will do the required background check and have you fill out form 4473. You need to be 21 and have Valid ID - You need to choose a gun at the store or have a vendor ship there - You need to fill out the ATF form and pass a Background check (Background check takes about 5 minutes) - You need to pay for the gun and transfer fee.

I would call the local FFL and ask him what is required as state laws are all different

Kelly, You do not need your Indiana carry permit to order a handgun. Just over 21, legal to buy firearm (self police) felon, domestic abuse charge, dishonorable military discharge, etc. Order firearm.have it sent to favorite local FFL, They will do the paperwork Federal ATF form 4473 and transfer firearm to you if all is good. Do get your carry permit for Indiana anyway.
