      LEO disarm during traffic stop

      So here's my question. Can a LEO rightfully take possesion of your firearm during a traffic stop? Yes you have your LTCH and lets say your gun is not in sight. He asks if there are any weapons in the car right off the bat when he walks up. You don't know why your being pulled over. (Not...

      Castle Doctrine question

      Sorry if this has come up before... Scenario 1: You are not home, no one is home. You pull up to your house, park your car and walk to your door and notice someone at the side of your house breaking in through a window. Indiana says you can use force to stop a forceful/unlawful entry into...

      I didn't know where to post this, sorry if not in the right forum. What would be the legal ramifications if you were carrying and someone like the shooter in AZ opened up here in Indiana? Say I'm carrying and at an event of a local congressperson and an idiot opens up right in front of me...

      When to shoot

      Have been thinking about this since I got my license. Can/ should I, if in a situation, draw my weapon as a deterrent only firing if the threat continues? If I do shoot do I shoot to kill or incapacitate? Also I have read somewhere that if one is involved in a self defensive shooting that you...

      I was asked this question. What would you do?

      I was asked by a hardcore lib anti-gun co-worker when a gun subject came up what would I do in this situation: You get in a traffic accident and you have a gun in your car and an unarmed man much bigger than you is raging mad and running towards you would you shoot? "No" I answered, He's not...

      Would you be justified in using deadly force?

      Lets say this victim had pulled a gun and shot and killed one of these punks, maybe a 15 year old. I think in a liberal ****hole like Cleaveland he would be screwed since none of the attackers appeare to have any weapons. YouTube - Mob Of Teens Attack 73 Year Old Man - Raw Video
