This is true. The problem is when they act like they do. Nothing wrong with saying "Hey, let me check that and get back with you."
Hey, how's that new Jeep doing?

Updated version...
Here is the latest edited version of the Indiana Gun Laws. I believe this to be correct to the best of knowledge. Gun laws are constantly in flux so always check with the State Police to be certain.
INDIANA LAW CONCERNING HANDGUNS
• This is an edited version of my earlier post on these laws.
• This post does not include Hunting Laws.
• Indiana requires a License to Carry a Handgun if you want to carry a handgun off of your property or business location.
• There is no required firearms registration law in Indiana.
• There is no assault weapons law in Indiana.
• There is no magazine capacity restriction in Indiana.
• You can legally carry your handgun with a License to Carry a Handgun in the open or concealed. Indiana does not restrict the way you carry your handgun.
• This is not an all-inclusive list – You can carry your handgun legally in a hospital, in church, in a bar and you can drink alcohol (although I do not recommend that drink and carry).
• Indiana is a Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground state.
• Indiana does not require you to inform a law enforcement officer that you are carrying a handgun if you are stopped by the police. However, I do recommend that you do it.
• If you do not have a License to Carry a Handgun, you can still transport your handgun in your car as long as the handgun is unloaded, not readily accessible, and secured in a case in a vehicle, on your own property, from the place of purchase and to a firearm range for the purpose of practice.
• You must be 18 years of age to apply for a License to Carry a Handgun and you must be at least 21 years of age to buy a handgun (by Federal Law) from a gun store (FFL Dealer) in the State of Indiana. You can buy a handgun from an individual if you do not go through an FFL which is not required in the State of Indiana. It is legal for a citizen to sell a handgun to an in state resident without FFL paperwork. (I highly recommend that if you do not know the person you are selling a handgun to, ask for a permit to carry. This way, you will know they can possess a handgun.)
• Generally speaking, possession of long guns are legal whether the gun is either on one's person or in one's motor vehicle, loaded or not, concealed or not.
• It is illegal to carry a concealed weapon, even sporting arms, on school property (K-12 and day care) or on a school bus, Lawful gun owners may have guns in their vehicles on school property provided the gun is stored out of plain sight in the person's locked motor vehicle or that the driver is only transporting someone to, or from, a school event. This also includes on property that is being used by a school for a school function, private schools, Head Start, and preschools.
• Indiana restricts your legal carry on a commercial airplane or in the controlled section of an airport, shipping port, on a riverboat casino, during the Indiana State Fair, courthouses and the Indiana Statehouse and Government Center.
• Private businesses may restrict or forbid firearms on their properties. It is not illegal to carry your handgun concealed into a store that has a sign up that states – NO FIREARMS ALLOWED – because this sign does not carry the force of law, it is a rule of that business. However, a 2010 law prohibits employers from discharging employees for in-vehicle firearms possession on business property. Furthermore, an employer may not ask any employee about the possession of firearms and/or ammunition.
• Firearms dealers or private individuals may not sell any firearm to someone less than 18 years old, or less than 23 years old if the buyer was "adjudicated a delinquent child for an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult", or to a person who is mentally incompetent or is a drug or alcohol abuser.
• All NFA-regulated weapons and devices are legal in Indiana. NFA stands for National Firearms Act. The NFA, for the most part, applies to machine guns, submachine guns, suppressors, and short barrel rifles and shotguns.
• Also be wary of City Ordinances which will be posted. For example in Evansville, Indiana you cannot legally carry in the Civic Center Complex or the Ford Center. By Federal Law you cannot carry in a Post Office and this will stir up the hornets’ nest because you can find all kinds of research that supports both sides of the coin. If the lawyers are arguing about whether it is legal or not, WHY TAKE THE CHANCE??? Just don’t do it and you know you will be fine. I happen to firmly believe it is illegal to carry inside a Post Office. (I have to admit, I have broken this law many times before I realized it was illegal)
Here is an interesting tidbit of information - In January 2013, the Indiana State Police Firearms Section began publishing quarterly reports that show the number of active handgun licenses held by Indiana residents. As of the second quarter of 2014, over 570 thousand Indiana residents possess a handgun license, with about 20 percent of license holders being female.
I hope this information is helpful to you. If you ever have a question on the law concerning handguns – Contact your local Indiana State Police Post. They are a great source for this type of information. Gun laws are constantly in flux so at any time information in this post could change.
