Just talked to the ISP firearms team. I have been told that "terms thereof" means the terms under which the license was issued. He said that the officer would have to have knowledge of KY's carry laws in order to recognize my right to OC with a KY CDWL. He said than an officer who was uncertain would most likely arrest me and let the court sort it out. I told him that the city told me that they issue concealed weapons permits, and he told me that was false, that the state only issues a LTCH. His recommendation is that I get one to remove all doubt. This is probably what I will do in the near future.
Slightly related side note, who has the authority to "take" your LTCH? I was threatened by the officer that he could take mine, or anyone's for OC. I highly doubt that your every-day, average LEO in IN has the ability to revoke a LTCH on a whim.
The problem I have with the bold part, suppose I'm carrying on an out of state license that lets me carry into areas that Indiana law does not? What then?
BGA,
I emailed MSP for the same thing (me carrying in Michigan on an Indiana LTCH), the response I got was that I would have to abide by Michigan law as to where I could carry. IANAL, but one could extrapolate the same would hold true for out of staters carrying in Indiana, you must follow Indiana law regardless of where you are allowed to carry in your home state. For example, in Indiana, I can CC or OC in a bar where more than half of their revenue is derived from open glass alcohol sales. In Michigan, I could not CC.
Hopes this helps.
Oh, I get it. Really I do. But I've seen threads posted on the subject of carrying in Indiana on an out of state permit/license, and depending on which state official you ask, you either have to carrying according to Indiana rules, or the rules as written on the out of state permit/license.
For instance, most of us know that in Indiana you need a permit/license to OC as well as to CC, since the license is simply to carry a handgun. Since we don't need a license to OC in Michigan, our state issued license is called a "Concealed Pistol License." I've been told that some LEOs in Indiana interpret this to mean us Michiganders can't OC in Indiana with our CPL.
I've also read messages posted by others, who were told they had to abide by Michigan laws with regard to carrying in an establishment that serves alcohol.
My whole thing is, it seems to me that part of the law on reciprocity needs some clarification for the education of those state officials that are looking for ways to try to screw me out of my hard earned (and sparse) money.
