Indiana Gun Permit - Do you have to holster?

[jamie12]

A friend was pulled over for speeding and told by a State Police Officer in Delaware that he had a pistol in the car. The officer asked to see it and my friend pulled in out of his pocket. The officer then wrote him a ticket for not having the gun in a holster. The officer gave him his gun back but he has to pay a fine or go to court. I am not familiar with this so any input would be appreciated.

I don't believe so. That is interesting. Was the ticket for the original reason he was pulled over or for not having the gun in a holster? I can see a police officer saying "you're getting that speeding ticket because you have a gun in your pocket without a holster"

 

[eldirector]

Uh, what was on the ticket? Did the officer cite an Indiana Code?

There is no State law about holsters.

 

[jamie12]

Im asking about the Code now. He also received a ticket for speeding.

I looked this up. If your friend did not have a recognized license, then the handgun should be unloaded, in a case and stowed in the trunk or rear storage area. I find nothing that says specifically that a handgun needs to be in a holster.

 

[jamie12]

He has an Indiana lifetime carry license. I thought this was bogus but still waiting on the code response. Thanks

I may misunderstand. Indiana LTCH stopped in Delaware? He needs to comply with Delaware law.

 

[eldirector]

Whoa. I missed the whole "Delaware" thing, too.

No idea what their law is. Lemme go look.....

Edit: they don't even recognize Indiana's LTCH.

Delaware Co. in Indiana

Your buddy is in Delaware? The state of? Not on Delaware in downtown Indianapolis, right?

Why are you asking us when you should be addressing noted Delaware gun expert Joe Biden?

deleted because I gave advise for Delaware county, not Delaware state

 

[adws943]

Sorry.

I am a little confused, bear with me.

So this is the situation?

Your friend gets pulled over for speeding in IN, has a LTCH, gets a ticket for speeding and the officer tells him the gun needs to be in a holster.

Is that correct? You are not saying the officer wrote him a ticket for not having the gun in a holster, correct?

I will wait for the mainstream media to uncover the truth of these early conflicting reports.

The truth is out there.

As a semi-invalid validity officer in the city-state of Delaware county, I'd like to informally answer this question:

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Is there an IC citation on the UTT?
