Or the officer makes it home safe.It'll all be justified if it gets just one more BG off the street.

And if you do not have a weapon in the car they will simply ask, "Well then can I search it."
Yes and no. INBMV does share info other states and vise versa. That way I can run out of state drivers licenses to see if they are valid. However, I cannot get returns from every state and when I do get a return, they are very brief versions of the response you would have gotten in the home state.Do state police agencies share data? How long until they do?
For instance: I'm driving through Canton, Ohio and get pulled over
for a burned out license plate light and it says I have a LTCH.....
(Although, I wouldn't have a gun on me.)
Do I need to worry about roid rage?
I went on a ride along with a friend that works for IMPD's northwest district. He actually brought up the fact that the LTCH notification pops up when running a plate. I am fairly certain he said plate and not drivers license but I could be mistaking one for the other.

Now folk's here's a interesting question.
If he knows you have a LTCH through the database, then any and all actions after this by him concerning your firearm are a mute point because he knows you are legally licensed, correct?.
I don't like forfeiting ANY of my information. Anecdotal info here though, every time I've been pulled over and told the officer I was armed, I got away scott free. Any time I've kept that info to myself, I've wound up with a speeding ticket.
My standard reply would be, "Sure, as soon as you get a search warrant, I'll be more than happy to let you."

Dammit, Janet, I was going to post this!
I think that's correct. IMHO, when the officer gets the info about the LTCH, he/she loses any probable cause regarding carrying without a license. It almost renders meaningless the whole, "Do you have anything in the car I should know about?"
I'm not even sure the officer can ask if you have gun in the car. MAYBE so he can secure it, but I think that's a close call in a simple infraction situation. Better course would be something like, "Sir (or Ma'am, as the case may be), I understand you have a LTCH, as long as you don't go for your's, I won't go for mine."
Just MHO, though.
I have known about that for about a year and a half now. A county cop friend of mine told me about it.
You are wrong, you can NOT to carry in IN with a out of state license when you are a resident here!
