Was at ihop with my friends and family after about a hour or so we got up to leave. Since I was alittle over heated I need put my jacket on and right by the door was a mishawaka police officer. He didnt notice my gun at first til I got half way out the door and he freaked out and said "sir sir show me your permit now" which I replied "by law I dont have too" but wanting to leave I showed him anyway which then he teplied "when im somewhere and someone has a gun I will see it thank you"
I find it crazy how I was stopped in indiana a open carry state for open carrying my gun.

That's odd....
I carry my sidearm in our local ihop all of the time.
I have also come across numerous leo's while I'm carrying and have never once been stopped or questioned about carrying my sidearm.
Oh...Wait...That's probably because I carry 'concealed'.
Never mind.
Indiana is not a traditional open carry State like Michigan is. In Indiana they have a permit to carry a handgun. You need the permit to carry openly or concealed.Was at ihop with my friends and family after about a hour or so we got up to leave.

Let it go. Expect it to happen repeatedly. How does the LEO know you aren't a felon or banger or other person not suited to posses a handgun unless he asks?
If you file a complaint you're wasting your time. Absolutely nothing will come of it. You, just like all of us, have enough real aggravation in life without blowing this into a big issue.
As my dad taught me, if you feel the need to bang every jackass you'll spend your life doing it. There's a never ending line of them.

Probable cause was when the Officer saw the gun. If he didn't have a permit he would have been breaking the law.There was not any probable cause (PC). If you no not stand up for your rights you will not have any. Not a bad idea to keep a copy of your laws in you glove box, have them show you where it is.
