As a general rule no, but if you're going to defend someone, what then? The family's story is that an off duty cop ran his sister off the road and at some point they stopped and he pointed his pistol at her.
No good comes of having an Indiana LTCH while in Chicago, IL.
True News USA This is a blog put out by a retired cop who lives very close to where the incident took place There is a photo of the dead guy pointing his gun at someone out of frame. The picture shows the guy about 4 or 5 doors down west from the fire station. It is being reported that before the uniformed cop showed up there was quite a fight. One fireman, one off duty cop, and at least 2 others not with the funeral people were treated for injuries at a local hospital . I still have not read a report that totally makes sense to me about how this took place. Even though the guys words who writes the blog are quite coarse I think it will have the most accurate information on how this played out. I expect that there is a lot more to the story than what has been reported.
I clicked on that once....won't evver visit that site again
...In fact, any weapon in a functional condition in the passenger compartment (or on the street) is a UUW charge...
If you want a less "white power" site to see the picture of the gun being pointed...
Video appears to show man pointing gun before police shoot him | Chicago Sun-Times
I lol'd when one of the witnesses said he wasn't pointing a gun. That pose sure looks like he was pointing a gun.
I was under the impression that an IN resident with a LTCH could exit their vehicle as long as they were in the direct area of their vehicle. In other words. If I stop to pump gas I am in the direct area of my vehicle.
I will be going through early in the morning headed to Lancaster, WI. I will be carrying, but don't plan on stopping in Chicago unless it's an emergency.
Edit:
I just went to the IL State Police website. It says that if a nonresident leaves their vehicle unattended they must lock firearm in the car or in a lock box. I think the definition leaves some gray area whether or not you must remain in your car.
If I'm pumping gas my vehicle is being attended to. I go inside to pee then it's unattended.

I don't believe any facts will ever be objectively reviewed; we will likely never know what really happened...each side has a stake in the political spin and the spinsters love, love, love this. I'm almost surprised the riots haven't started yet, but I guess the paid rioters take a minute to mobilize.
One more reason to not go to Chicago, let the dead burry the dead.
FIFY. I see no good reason to go to that craphole.

Ok, have to ask. Is this something you heard in a gun shop or something?
FIFY. I see no good reason to go to that craphole.
Bah! There's fun things to do there. You just have to know where to go and not go and not act like a slack-jawed yokel....and being proud of my yokel nature, that means something.
I believe, and maybe I incorrect, you can also exit the vehicle to place it in the trunk.
