Indiana requiring proof of ownership??

[Taurahe]

Pleas move if this belongs in another thread....
I was curious if anyone here has heard anything about required proof of ownership in indiana. Supposedly, a friend of my best friend was pulled over and had his gun confiscated by the LEO, because he was unable to provide proof that he owned the firearm roadside. According to this person, the leo gave him a big stack of paperwork and said he has to go to court to petition to get his gun back. I called BS, obviously, but I was wondering if anyone has heard anything of the sorts. Supposedly, the LEO told him that it was a new law , yet I have heard neither hide nor hair of any such law anywhere, let alone in indiana. I called the ISP headquarters and they too called BS, and said if a law were to go into effect it would not be until july 1st.
Can anyone shine some light on this for me ?

No, but I have an ex brother in law, and he was pulled over, several years ago, 3-4 Officers, one a State Trooper.

IIRC, The IPD, officer told him he had to produce a receipt or he was going to jail .....

The reason, he was pulled over, he had a shotgun barrel sticking out the back window, of his suv .....

Anyway, the Trooper, wanted to haul him off, and the IPD, officer, told him to back off, it was his bust .....

He produced a receipt, for one handgun, and went happily on his way .....

NEVER heard of this B4, that incident .....

Is this friend of your friends named Stiffy?

 

[jbombelli]

I had a cop in Terre Haute tell me that about 20 years ago. He said he didn't care if someone had a license, if he didn't have a receipt for the firearm he would confiscate it as a stolen firearm.

I told him I had a license, and a firearm, and no receipt... go ahead and confiscate it and good luck with the immediate lawsuit.

He didn't confiscate it.

I also heard something about the lifetime LTCH going away soon.

 

[medcoxo]

Last winter, all I had to do was show my LTCH, and that was it. After answering a couple questions, and verifying I was not the one they were looking for, my firearm and knives were returned to me with no issue. I was free to go. I call 'shenanigans'.
