Where was the handgun carried?

Prison purse.

Is that level misdemeanor punishable by a year in prison? (IIRC that's the threshold for the question on the 4473.)

It is in a misdemeanor, which is not a disqualifier on a 4473. However, IIRC having had a conviction for carrying a handgun without a license makes you not a proper person under Indiana law for a term of years and so you generally cannot be issued a LTCH during that time.

Did he whip out his DD214 and was it bigger than yours?

We do have discretion, but it has limits. As you indicated in the second part, the circumstances and actions of the person matter. If you're causing a disturbance of some sort, our discretion is much more limited. If someone called you in vs we just found you (ie, this guy vs a traffic stop), it's more limited.

Granny with a .38 in her purse and a license that expired last week discovered on a traffic stop for an out headlight vs a guy making a scene and refusing to stop making a scene in a public place? Different levels of what we can do.

Ok cool thanks to you, VUPD, and Frank for clearing it up.
For sure this guy deserved what he got. I believe people should be allowed to do ALMOST anything they want even if it could kill them, UNTIL they harm or mess with other people who don't want to be messed with.
I'm even for open carry and even carry of a rifle but I don't think it's a good idea because you are asking for interaction with other people and probably police. I believe even if everything on and about you is legal that police interaction when called on you is not a good thing. Obviously this guy was breaking the law by not having an LTCH (which I believe is unconstitutional) but it's the current law and he wanted to combine that with being an asshat. No sympathy for asshats

So this guy has an AR pistol slung over his left shoulder, no magazine inserted, but sticking out of his jeans pocket.

Marion county so the judge will probably let him go the next day and appologize to him for any inconvenience and let him know he's getting out in a day because no one was shot. If you shoot people you have to spend a week in jail in Mario county then you can be let go to reoffend and may be kill police the next time.
The judge will probably also encourage him to file a lawsuit so he can collect a couple hundred thousand dollars for his time.

That's as bad as St. Joseph County! There is no bond for OWI. They just release you when your BAC reaches a safe level. I arrested a woman in South Bend on felony possession of narcotics, felony possession of cocaine, felony intent to distribute, felony resisting LE, misdemeanor resisting LE, and misdemeanor shoplifting. SJC charged her with the possession of cocaine, dropped all the other charges, held her for 48 hours, released her without bond. Also, I saw that she was released from SJC jail the day before I arrested her.

Thank God I work in Elkhart County. I can see why so many SJC officers turn a blind eye to a lot of things.

Have you ever seen vitaminK in his banana hammock on his bed of guns? It gets confusing around here sometimes

I killed a man, just to watch him die.
But when I showed my 214, I was free and clear.
