Quick! Somebody post the IC before the mis-information gets out of hand!
So what if I don't have my properly issued and valid LTCH with me and I get stopped?
Fortunately, the law provides for this situation.
Note that you will probably still be arrested (although that is not a certainty), and if so, having your arrest record expunged is subject to all of the fun of a typical over-sized bureaucracy. In other words, it may take awhile. Possibly years.IC 35-47-2-24
Indictment or information; defendant's burden to prove exemption or license; arrest, effect of production of valid license, or establishment of exemption
Sec. 24. (a) In an information or indictment brought for the enforcement of any provision of this chapter, it is not necessary to negate any exemption specified under this chapter, or to allege the absence of a license required under this chapter. The burden of proof is on the defendant to prove that he is exempt under section 2 of this chapter, or that he has a license as required under this chapter.
(b) Whenever a person who has been arrested or charged with a violation of section 1 of this chapter presents a valid license to the prosecuting attorney or establishes that he is exempt under section 2 of this chapter, any prosecution for a violation of section 1 of this chapter shall be dismissed immediately, and all records of an arrest or proceedings following arrest shall be destroyed immediately.

One loses their drivers license can they still drive?
It doesn't matter. It only matters what the law says about your handgun license, which I've quoted above.
It also matters what kind of mood the prosecutor is in and / or if you know someone in the prosecutor's office.
That clears up everything........

Yes but you can get a ticket for not having it in your possession.
Actually, Scutter, there's more to this than just the IC about providing the LTCH being grounds for complete nuking of the arrest and any follow up.
The law also now states that one must be licensed under the code, but not necessarily that it must be carried.
I want to quote the code, but for some reason the in.gov website is not allowing me to look at the IC sections right now.
Off topic and sarcastic, but... Generally, from my experience, if you replace it (i.e. you have a valid license at the time you were asked for it and got cited for not having it) before your court date a judge will dismiss the charge/ticket.One loses their drivers license can they still drive?
