AR15 Stolen from Tippecanoe County sheriff's deputy's car at 2am, off duty?

I'm a little surprised to hear that it's your choice.

Yeah, nobody is forced to carry a long gun for us. Way more people want to carry rifles than they have training slots in patrol rifle programs so there's no shortage of volunteers. I think everyone still qualifies on shotguns, and you can either get an issued one or bring your own from home. When I started, there weren't enough shotguns to go around but I think there's plenty now.

How many non LE have unlocked firearms stolen out of vehicles each year?

To say the least its embarrasing and sad you have a free for all on the street for a cop killing weapon or for anyone,DANGEROUS.

Is he,the officer going to be charged for not having a secured firearm? Probably a civilian would be charged I believe?

What's the IC code for unsecured firearm? What charge is applicable?

I remember reading on ingo, about a racecar trailer that the doors, hitch and wheels were securely locked and it was stolen.
And that wasn't good enough for some here.

Mg, he is out of the car far more than in it. Makes sense.

It seems to me that if a firearm is not secured in your HOUSE and a person gets shot , the owner faces charges , its your respondsibility in your car also , I would assume?

One of those stolen guns from a non-leo vehicle killed one of my good friends just a couple of years ago.

Who . . . who is telling you this? Something you read in paper?

Under Indiana law no, but change facts to juvenile that you knew was knucklehead, maybe.

I remember that! Horrific.

Wut?

The only scenario in Indiana where this may apply is something like you leave your gun out and your toddler finds it and shoots themselves with it, resulting in a neglect of dependent charge. There is no charge for "unsecured gun" or whatever you're thinking of in this state.

May be transposing "Dangerous Possession" into a crime from another state?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

I don't think anyone believes the victim Deputy did anything wrong here, but if I catch Sheriff Bob running his cake hole like LPD does about how "highly trained" cops are with guns, it will not go well for him at a press conference.

Don't think Bob would be so foolish, that is an LPD monopoly.

He's maybe thinking of other states that might have implemented such laws, and confusing it with Indiana.

you know anything that deals with a gun nowadays , they try to pin something on you ? At least thats the way I read in papers internet etc. seems like its true.

If you have some examples, then maybe we can figure out what you're talking about. Else I'm not sure how to engage your question further.

I hear that if one more gun is stolen out of a car in Indiana, the Lifetime CCW permit is going away.

No. A criminal killed your friend with a stolen gun. Guns have no will of their own.

And if it was secured? I didnt read in the article that it was not secured, I may have missed it though.
