Many times on this forum I see members state that if LEO sees someone carrying (CC or OC) they should not be allowed to stop that person just to ask for a LTCH. They say that it would be the same as a LEO stopping someone driving a vehicle and asking for a drivers license.
I have also seen it repeated that if there is no law against something then it is legal.
I don't know the particular IN codes, don't even know how to look them up. However I am pretty sure there are laws on the books preventing LEO from stopping a driver without reason. That said, I have never heard of a law preventing a LEO stopping someone who has been observed carrying a handgun, to check for a LTCH.
It seems to me this reasoning, stopping a handgun carrier to check for a LTCH is the same as stopping a driver for a license check, is a flawed line of thought. Or is there IN law saying LEO can't stop a handgun carrier to check for LTCH?
Am I missing something?
