      A Bad Experience With IMPD outside Circle Center Mall

      My brother has just recieved his LTCH and has been carrying openly pretty often. He didn't have any problems until he decided to visit Circle Centre Mall in downtown Indianapolis with his wife. He entered the mall and was immediately appropached by mall security and asked to leave, because they...

      18 and OCing

      Hello all. I was 18 when I first got my LTCH (mind you this was 14 years ago). I got a small Lorcin .380 given to me from my Grandpa and wanted to be able to carry it. I didn't have any problems with LEOs until I was coming to a buddies house one afternoon and they were standing outside talking...

      I got pulled over last night...

      When the officer approached my vehicle I kept my hands on the steering wheel and said good evening officer what seems to be the problem. He asked me if I knew why he pulled me over to which I responded No sir. He then asked me for my credentials, I provided them. The next question was where I...

      I forget other gun owners don't always see eye to eye

      Wasn't sure about best location for this one, figured it had more to do with carrying than anything else. Move it if you think it should be moved elsewhere. Transcript of today's traffic stop while carrying concealed - Ford Mustang Forums : Corral.net Mustang Forum I didn't begrudge him...

      Shocking Audio: Philadelphia Police violate rights of open carrier at gunpoint

      Critique this as you see fit. What I hear is a guy being approached for open carry, berated, proned out, bullied, and treated like a domestic terrorist. For the legal, non-violent act of OC. The cops apparently are so vehemently anti-rights it makes me puke in my mouth. Then they discover...

      police pull you over, inform, or not inform you are carrying

      I tried to search this particular question but could find a definitive answer. Just curious if one was to get pulled over for speeding....are you supposed to immediately identify you are carrying a firearm, or is it our right to not too? I seen on Alaska State Troopers ( great show) that some...

      Had the police called on me

      I was down in Lafayette with the family to do some shopping and went to HuHots for dinner. Evidently some customers said something to the manager and he called the police. I was just about ready to get up and get another bowl when I see two LPD walk in, I kinda figured what they were there for...

      Indiana and refusal to identify

      Boredom can be useful at times... Tonight I was searching about when you have to identify yourself. Indiana code 34-28-5-3.5 states that you must provide identification ONLY IF you are guilty of an infraction or ordnance violation. So, how are you supposed to know that you have...

      Open Carry in Philadelphia

      Don't know if you guys have seen this all ready. YouTube - SHOCKING AUDIO: Philadelphia Police violate rights of open carrier at gunpoint I also thought it was interesting they'd tried to tell him he's not allowed to record what the police are doing. I'm pretty sure that's legal, they just get...

      Just A Friendly Reminder: Please Shut The **** Up

      Popehat lays it out succinctly for us. When confronted by law enforcers your best bet, always, is to shut up. Yeah, it doesn't hurt to ask if you're free to leave, assert your right to remain silent (which you have to do now, due to recent court rulings) and ask for an attorney. Beyond that, be...

      Another reason not to talk...

      I've been pounding it into my kid's heads that their best protection is a closed mouth. Far too many people think that they can talk their way out of things, or they have nothing to hide. Did you know that it's illegal to lie to a federal agent? Did you know that your silence can be used...

      Only my police officer friend has the right to take your weapon.

      A good friend graduated from the police academy on Friday and is an Indiana State Police officer. We talked just a bit about his training and the weight he lost and then I went in for the real question: "If you pull someone over and see a Glock 22 on the seat, what would you do?" His answer...

      fireman asked to see license

      I went to Arby's to get breakfast this morning. I walk in and two fireman are there as well. For most of the time I conceal carry i.e. out of sight out of mind. However, I do some open carry. I was carrying my Smith 1911 and the bottom of the gun was visible below my sweat shirt. Both...

      My Fishers Incident February 2010

      I was pulled over last Feb by one Fishers cop and 4 by the time I was done. I supposedly was driving left of center, but got a warning for not stopping at a stop sign. I had been to the 1500 that afternoon. This was a Saturday night around 10:30. I had bought a XD40SC and a mag for another...

      Fishers - Not so cool...

      I know I do not have to notify in Indy, but being an Ohioan, I did instinctively. The officer calmly rephrased what I had just said "So, you have a license and a loaded weapon on you?". I agreed that I did in fact. Then he says "I want you to take it out of the holster and hand it to me butt...

      Did it happen to you

      O.K. i would like an honest report from those of you who have had their guns asked for by a police officer during a traffic stop, and what agency State, County, Local? As a LEO I am concerned that maybe we are mis-training officers on dealing with Armed Citizens. I really want honesty here...

      Surrendering your weapon

      Just a quick question. Suppose you are pulled over for a supposed traffic violation and you have on your person a concealed weapon and you are properly licensed to do so. The officer asks you if you have any weapons and you answer truthfully to the affirmative. The officer then asks for...

      Run in with Lawrence Police Officer this AM

      Good morning to all. This AM while heading to drop my child off for school and then to the office I was pulled over by a Lawrence police officer. I failed to use a turn signal and was supposedly doing 70 in a 45. I showed 63 on my dash, but that isn't my issue. For clarification, I respect...

      My experience on the side of the road with a state trooper

      Last week, I was pulled over on I-65 at the 26 exit in Lafayette, for "following too close." The state trooper comes up to the passenger side, looks inside my windows (more than just a peek), and asks for my license and registration. While getting my license out, I inform him that I have a gun...
