You guys have been going back and forth as to whether or not it's required.
Here's an idea... if it's required Somebody cite the respective body of the Indiana Code requiring such.
Easy, right?
If I may, I suggest with
IC 35-47-2-24
HandgunLaw.US strongly implies that there is no duty to inform, and there does not appear to be any penalty associated for refusing to produce one on the side of the road.

Bottom of page 5 on here says:
From IN State Police FAQ’s
Q. Does Indiana statute require me to carry the handgun on my person concealed or
exposed?
A. Indiana law is silent on this issue; however, carrying an exposed weapon in public may alarm some
people. Also, the right to carry a firearm may be restricted on private property and businesses by the
owners. Be attentive for signs warning of restricted areas when carrying firearms into public places.
If approached by law enforcement for official business such as traffic stops or complaint related
inquiries, it is recommended that you tell the officer in a non-threatening manner that you are
carrying a weapon or have a weapon in the vehicle and that you have a valid permit.
A law
enforcement officer does have the right to inspect the permit.
Note: I can find no reference in Indiana Law stating you must carry your Permit. The FAQ from the IN St.
Police states they do have the right to inspect your permit. "
I agree with the note, I still can't find the statute, but ive seen it a few places. Not sure if guys are just going by the FAQ from the state police? This actually has me interested now...
