Does anyone know the laws for storing a handgun in the car? Or for WHEN I can actually draw on somebody who I think is a threat? (i looked at the Indiana State Police site, but it is in political gibberish - im lookin for the laws in layman's terms)?

You're asking intelligent questions about when you can "draw." I'd suggest doing a search on Mass Ayoob and get some of what he has written on this topic. A bit of it may be dated, but most still applies and provides sage guidance to those new to ccw.
 
Indiana Handgun Law

by Bryan Lee Ciyou, Esq. I have met and talked to this individual.

Ayoob is an old friend and his books are excellent, but more general. This book addresses Indiana law, and is very well done.:)

Sec. 1. This chapter applies only to possession of a firearm or ammunition by an individual who may
possess the firearm or ammunition legally. This chapter does not apply to the possession of a firearm,
ammunition, or other device for which an individual must possess a valid federal firearms license issued
under 18 U.S.C. 923 to possess the firearm, ammunition, or other device.
Sec. 2. (a) Notwithstanding any other law and except as provided in subsection (b), a person may not
adopt or enforce an ordinance, a resolution, a policy, or a rule that:
(1) prohibits; or
(2) has the effect of prohibiting;
an employee of the person, including a contract employee, from possessing a firearm or ammunition that is
locked in the trunk of the employee's vehicle, kept in the glove compartment of the employee's locked
vehicle, or stored out of plain sight in the employee's locked vehicle.
(b) Subsection (a) does not prohibit the adoption or enforcement of an ordinance, a resolution, a policy, or
a rule that prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting an employee of the person, including a contract
employee, from possessing a firearm or ammunition:
