It seems that even though I did break the law he was still selective as to who enforce it on.
agreed and this is the problem with these gun laws. They only make it harder on the law abiding citizen and they don't really deter crime.

Did the father have an ltch? If so he probably assumed the father owned all of the guns. Your story is different, your friend wasnt allowing you to shoot his guns, you had your own there. However were you on private property? If you were on private property i dont think the law has anything about having a handgun on private property.
He did state that he saw me firing the gun in question. That makes sense that a child can shoot while being supervised since it is then considered learning. I would guess were it gets dicey is if your over 18.

Great, if I take my daughter to the range (being a child in the eyes of Indiana) and she misses a target, then it no longer meets the criteria of the IC above either. I'd still like to know how this turns out completely. If there was a cre committed, then I don't quite understand how OP can still be considered a proper person. And at the same time I don't see which IC has been utilized for the citation and confiscation of a firearm.
Going to bed, it's 2AM, I'll be up about 6 and check this out later.
No, she's there for the purpose of target shooting, even if she misses.
As to a crime being committed, I don't see it defined as either misdemeanor or felony. I'm thinking it's an infraction, and thus, would not have bearing on his being a proper person. LEOs or attorneys, please do correct me if I'm mistaken on that.
Blessings,

Yep, the 4th & 5th amendment are there for a reason. Watch the often linked "Don't talk to the cops" on Youtube. If you are in any possible doubt that you may be in violation, in most cases it is a good idea to STFU.My biggest my mistake was being honest. I should have told him It was my buddies. I try to be honest with leo whenever I can though.

So you went to the range without your LTCH and was carrying a firearm in a holster.
Seems you knew your were in violation of the law and went ahead and did it anyways and then got caught.
Not a good choice. Many of us here do not agree with the laws, but we follow them.
Isn't there an exemption that if you renew within some amount of time and your LTCH expires, that your application for renewal then acts as a temporary LTCH?
Like has been posted, it was on the bench, not his hip.
