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.
Yea it's true law was passed last week, better carry your receipt, passport, don't forget the yellow arm band.
So much sarcasm on this site
Is this friend of your friends named Stiffy?
No, his name is Sneezy!
I actually heard this from a guy at work the other day. Only he had had his confiscated due a "dispute" between him and his wife. But he said he had to show a receipt for every gun when he went to get them back. No receipt, no gun. He then went on to tell me that it was state law that you have to register your guns with the state police. He was unable to provide any additional info, like the actual code itself.
Oh and

I have not heard of this... and I've looked.
I am currently (temporarily) in Michigan and I had to register my handguns - they don't care about long guns.
Granted, I haven't looked in the last 8 or so months, but I doubt that Indiana has initiated any type of state registry, especially for long guns.
I haven't been able to find anything either. I just thought it was amusing that this thread popped up just a few days after a guy at work told me that story.
If I was ever in a domestic situation (which is very unlikely after 33 years) and the police had actual authority to confiscate my guns. (I'm not sure what IC would cover that) I would require a detailed receipt for each one. I would also demand receipts for each of my kitchen knives, hammers, bats, chain saw, and about two or three hundred other things around the house.
Therefore I would have a receipt to redeem each item.
He told me he needed a sales receipt from when he bought them. Cuz I asked about that^^^^.
I am surprised that some are taking this seriously, or their sarcasm is so subtle I can't detect it and I have a super sensitive sarcasometer.
