Remember the deputy in Morgan county, I think it was, who had his son on a ride along when he was shot and killed? We carry guns daily when there is very little likelihood we will need it. The poster upthread who commented about the officer getting called to a school is still the only comment...
That's not how it works. As far as the officer can tell, a crime is being committed because carrying a handgun in Indiana is a crime without a license. The gun is his RAS.
Correct. However, carrying a firearm in Indiana is a crime. Your license makes you an excepted person. If they spot a handgun, they have the authority to ask for your permission slip, according to Indiana law. It's been stated several times in this thread.
My understanding was that since it is a ruling against a specific agency, it affects the entire agency, regardless of what geographical region they are operating in.

If the committee accepts the amendment, I believe the bill is amended. It's still a lesser charge than it currently is, even if it would still cause you to lose your "right."
