    I would go to court. There no holster requirement. Put him on the stand and make him out to be an idiot. Request the video through discovery and play whole thing at trial. If trooper is smart he will not show up.

    Here, let me try to clarify the story by re-wording it:

    A friend of mine was recently pulled over for speeding by a State Tropper in Delaware County. During the stop, my friend told the Officer that he had a firearm in the car. The Trooper then asked to see the firearm, so my friend complied with the request, and removed it from his pocket and handed it to the Trooper. Said officer then proceeded to write him a ticket not only for speeding, but also for not having a gun in a proper holster. The Trooper then handed my friend is gun back, telling him that he has to pay a fine or go to court. Now, I am not familiar with any law or Indiana Code that refers to this as a violation worthy of a fine or court, so any knowlegeable input, or coherent re-write by an awesome INGO member, would be greatly appreciated.
    Now THAT is how it's done!

    Oh, is this like an INGO version of Clue?

    My guess: rhino in the library with the frozen parrot.

    Wow, and I don't really want to know what rhino was doing with the parrot.

    Not fair. It's always Rhino with some dead animal.
    Are they dead before rhino starts though?

    Oh, INGO, I was counting on you to entertain me through my work night. For whatever reason, INGO won't come up on my computer at work, but I subscribed so I would get the email. Now I'm sad.

    OP, still no pictures?

    I'm thinking somebody beat me to this, but:

    Evidently the GED is NOT WORKING for the OP. Maybe said OP should go ahead and give atleast 7-12th grade another try and possibly showup this time OR DO NOT POST on ingo while under the influence of crack.

    I'm sure it was in the pocket holster that he didn't see, it's designed to hide the print in your pocket, not that it is required by law. I have one of these and you don't see the holster when you remove it. Aside from that, I don't know any officer who would on a routine stop ask you to handle your gun. They usually don't want you to have it in your hand. Something sounds awfully weird about this whole situation, but if ya go to court, take your pocket holster only, or a picture of one to explain how they work. Otherwise they may get you for possession of an empty holster in a court room, another law I have no idea if it exists or not.

    The ol' possession of an empty holster law. This should have been repealed weeks ago.
