    I apologize for quoting wrong Indiana firearms code. This is the code I meant to mention:
    I C 35-47-11.1-2. I believe this statute forbids countys and municipalities from setting their own firearms laws including firearm registries. I apologize for typing in wrong statute and I may be entirely wrong since I don't read state laws and codes regularly. To my mind however, I believe that's what it means. That is what I was referring to in my earlier post.

    Running the serial number of a gun to check to see if it is stolen is not a registry. There is no conspiracy to put your name on a list of gun owners supposedly kept by the police.

    Lies! The serial numbers that people provide in attempt to find their stolens guns are gathered in one HUGE registry for the eventual confiscation!

    "...when you go to pick it up." Huh?

    You mean that the Fishers PD will confiscate a legally-owned gun from a citizen during a routing traffic stop and KEEP IT, making the owner go to the PD to retrieve it in pieces?

    Yes, it has happened. Why they took it I don't remember.

    They don't. I had an interaction with a Sherriff in a public place on Friday night, and he never asked to inspect my firearm. Simply checked my license, called in to verify my license to carry, and let the management of the establishment carry on from there. Although I did politely correct the officer on a few incorrect laws he rattled off, I was never asked to disarm...

    Just curious, what caused this interaction? Were you OC and got called on?

    The only times I have taken someone's gun to the property room is after an arrest where the gun was kept as evidence or for safekeeping because it had nothing to do with the arrest, or for safekeeping because the owner went to the hospital. I have never heard of a gun being taken "just because" and held at a PD and given back in pieces. I don't have any reason to believe it didn't happen, it just seems assinine to me.

    Here's one from a couple of years back where the Fishers PD stole this guys guns and made him come get them back. I'm sure it's happened to others who aren't members here.

    I'd appreciate that Frank. She's too much for me to handle! :):

    How much over should I drive? 10? 15? I want to be sure to get attention!:D
