Staff study on interactions between police and legally armed citizens

he ran back to the gun like he caught Dillinger or something

Good for you Frank!

I've a fair number of interactions that came about through moving violations. Most were good, including getting me out of the tickets.

I had one firearm confiscation (Btown) that wasted my time and that of the officers. I was treated respectfully and dodged the ticket though. This one prompted me to examine BUG possibilities.

Not just IMPD, but only concerned with Indiana incidents.

Had an incident in Vincennes, but it concerned a long gun so it's understandable if that's not what you're looking for. Also had a positive encounter in Vincennes that I could share.

I guess I should have clarified, I can use any encounter between the police and a lawfully armed citizen. Long gun or handgun, doesn't matter.

Great choice for a study. Glad to see you delve into an area that needs some attention. I posted my incident less than 3 weeks ago. Involved a speeding stop in Hammond and the officer took my gun although I had an LTCH. https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/general-firearms-discussion/330485-pulled-over.html

Let me know if you have questions. I'd be happy to help.

You may include me in your study. My handgun was taken from my car by the police when I went to a Hospital Emergency Room. My wife drove me to the hospital, and parked outside the Emergency Room entrance. An "attendant" parked the car, saw my gun, and notified the police that were on duty at the hospital.

Mostly, I had no problem with the situation, except I had a concussion, and the police officer demanded to see my LTCH while I was being treated. He was really "pushy" until he saw my License.

I got 'pulled over' while riding bike; wasn't disarmed, but it was sorta annoying ... in Hamilton Co. by a Sheriff Dept. LT. ... PM for detail if you want them; glad to help.

I will keep your story under consideration, but for the most part I am looking for people who had the guns on their person. Thank you for the input.

Clear your PMs so I can send you contact info.

Well, here are 2 guys from Elkhart. But I don't know how to contact them.
Unless someone knows who they are.

I'm not looking for stories of people doing something to purposely elicit contact by the police.

I wish I could help you Frank, but the only time I've ever had an interaction with a LEO was in Shelbyville at the Bears of Blue River Festival. She asked that I cover, I said I didn't feel the urge, and she suggested that there was the potential for further interaction if someone made a MWAG call. I thanked her and walked away.

She didn't disarm me, and I didn't tell her to go perform an anatomically impossible act.

Sounds like a win for both sides.

As a Shelbyville resident, I approve this message.

You're welcome. I did not have my pistol on my person. It was in my vehicle when it was pointed out to the Officer. Please feel free to contact me if I may be of any help with your study.

Best Wishes,
