Fellow Indiana Gun Owners,
This thread is a FEELER. I ask that you read and consider my idea, and then offer any input that you might have.
We all want to exercise our right to carry firearms, but we all also know that there are MANY people who have a negative view of citizens that carry firearms. I have been thinking about what can be done to change this perception and I have an idea I want to share.
How many people would be willing to participate in an INGO goodwill event? My proposal is that we gather a group of INGO members and friends and we perform some type of charitable or public service type of activity while OPENLY CARRYING a handgun. I have not chosen a charity, but a couple of ideas are something like Habitat for Humanity, Adopting a portion of highway, or a "walk" where money is donated to Riley Children's Hospital. Just to be clear, not all options would require your money, some would only require a little time.
A secondary event is also possible where we have a shooting event (like friday night steel, or some other "for fun" competition event) where proceeds are donated to a given charity.
How many would be willing to participate? Do you think this idea would help change perception? What are your ?
This is just a feeler, but I'm trying to affect POSITIVE change in the gun world and I need your help in brainstorming on how.
Thank you for taking the time reading this post.
UPDATE:
For now, I have an idea that could help the cause... please see this post within this thread:

If you have any ideas please post them! (if you think it's a stupid idea, you can post that too! My feelings won't be hurt, I'm still just throwing ideas around)
Thanks!!
