    It doesn't matter if your wallet was stolen or someone was trying to take a picture of your butt. Assuming you are an Average Joe like me, you can only have your firearm in your vehicle on school grounds! I saw you printing plain as day and I wasn't really looking for it. I suppose it's on my consciousness at all times, but there you were at 4 o'clock all tucked in. I'm not the type to fly off the handle and get all SWATty, but some people are so watch your six.

    IC 35-47-9-2 Possession of firearms on school property or a school bus; defense
    to a prosecution; possession of firearms in a motor vehicle parked
    in a school parking lot

    subsection if the person may be charged with an offense described in
    subsection (c). A person who knowingly or intentionally possesses a
    firearm:​
    (1) in or on school property; or
    (2) on a school bus;​
    commits a Level 6 felony.
    (b) It is a defense to a prosecution under subsection (a) that:​
    (1) the person is permitted to legally possess the firearm; and
    (2) the firearm is:​
    (A) locked in the trunk of the person's motor vehicle;
    (B) kept in the glove compartment of the person's locked
    motor vehicle; or
    (C) stored out of plain sight in the person's locked motor
    vehicle.​
    (c) A person who is permitted to legally possess a firearm and who
    knowingly, intentionally, or recklessly leaves the firearm in plain
    view in a motor vehicle that is parked in a school parking lot commits

    Sometimes I remove my pistol from its holster but continue to wear my holster.

    I print big as all get out.

    But it's just my holster.

    Or maybe my colostomy bag. Except I don't have a colostomy bag.

    What are the 4th amendment experts recommending? Lump at 4:00 gets you a pat down?

    If the lump is decidedly, without a doubt, gun shaped? Quite possibly. A simple nondescript bulge where a gun MIGHT be? Not so much.

    How about discreetly talking it over with the villainous offender? Or getting this menace to society arrested before he shoots up the whole school? It is it more beneficial to the community to go straight to INGO?

    BTW, there's a thread for that:

    https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...efense/305798-where-did-you-see-cc-today.html

    Seriously, what's the point of this thread? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Edit: This sounds pretty ****ty when I went back and read it. Sorry about that, not what I intended. I am left wondering why one would come straight here, though, instead of handling the situation on-site if it was so bothersome. Maybe the OP is hoping the offender will read his thread?

    How about if everyone just minds their own business? If that gun were really needed, the guy who was carrying it would be lauded as a courageous hero instead of being called out. If the carrier weighed the risk and chose to carry anyhow, why does anyone care? That's his choice.

    We could use some really good test cases.
