I was recently told that it was illegal to carry a handgun on mississinewa reservoir (among other reservior properties)for personal protection here in Indiana. Everything I can find says that this is indeed true and I am assuming it has been for a long time. I spend a lot of time on the property usually a good ways from my truck and regularly(in the past) carry my pistol. Anyway 5 years ago or so I had been scouting for turkeys before season, was all camo'ed up had my pistol. Later in the morning(around 8) I was standing in the edge of the lake crappie fishing and was checked by a Game warden. He ask me what kind of pistol I was carrying and I of course told him, he ask if I had a carry permit,I said yes I don't even think he asked to see it, he did check my fishing license though.
My question is since I was obviously breaking the law, even if he was not going to arrest me for it (thank god),why in the world would he have not at least informed me of the law. What really bothers me is I have been carrying my pistol every since then till this spring when I found out.
