      First Confrontation with LEO while OCing

      That is you. Some people it takes longer. Even with fingerprints, sometimes a name matches someone else and the investigation takes longer.

      Stopped by Terre Haute PD for OC'ing -- On a Date!

      The conversation in that thread was about the police officer. You are saying it is acceptable to hit a police officer? If they see that gun and feel that you may be a threat for whatever reason, they have to protect themselves and everyone else and take it if they deem it necessary in the...

      First Confrontation with LEO while OCing

      You should call and ask what the adjudication process is. You would be surprised at how short the amount of time is to accept/deny the application.

      First Confrontation with LEO while OCing

      Student pilot certificate is just a piece of paper. You cant do anything without a CFI holding your hand. I have seen two people who passed their checkride, and got letters from the FAA saying they were not able to issue a pilots certificate for one reason or another. The background checks do...

      Justified in hitting the cop? At that, justified in hitting anyone? Are you hearing yourself? I see a lot of tough talk via the internet, but in the end you, like most people, would shut your mouth and do what the police officer asked you. Or run the risk of getting tazed or worse. Someone...

      First Confrontation with LEO while OCing

      Before DHS, all information was verified via the FBI. Has been since 1990. Now that it can be done electronically, it is done in hours rather than days or weeks. Every time you renew your medical, you are run. And they can do random checks anytime they want. They also run your name against the...

      First Confrontation with LEO while OCing

      What is it that you think you see? It was no personal attack against anyone, it was a general observation. Nice try though... :rolleyes:

      First Confrontation with LEO while OCing

      Same screening minus the fingerprints. When your medical application gets to OKC, they run a records check on you. You authorize it when you sign at the AME's office for the medical. Your information is run through DHS once that info for your student pilots certificate/medical is run. By the...

      Resorting to name calling and childish taunts? Some people on here have the mental maturity of toddlers.

      Well, that is not the case. Sorry you feel that way. I won't lose any sleep over it though.

      First Confrontation with LEO while OCing

      You question my patriotism over my view on open carrying a weapon? There isn't much sense in that, but its OK.

      First Confrontation with LEO while OCing

      You are talking apples and oranges. That statement does not even coincide with the conversation. My aircraft isn't going to scare them if they are not getting on it.

      First Confrontation with LEO while OCing

      At least you know law enforcement have been screened somewhat. Sure, there are bad cops, but the majority uphold their job and protect and serve. So if someone has a fear of flying and comes to me and addresses that fear I should not try and put their mind at ease? If they say they cant get...

      First Confrontation with LEO while OCing

      But your reasons are not those that protect and serve anyone else. Why make others uneasy by carrying in public like that? They only serve your own purposes and do no good for anyone. I think we all can agree we enjoy our guns. But we also have to understand that others will not share the...

      First Confrontation with LEO while OCing

      I understand that, but there are other ways to exercise civil rights that doing something that DOES make the average citizen uneasy. You cant be selfish and only think of yourself, there are others who may feel fear when they see a weapon in public. And law enforcement have every reason to be...

      First Confrontation with LEO while OCing

      Seriously? You are going to pick apart his post to that level? Then lose weight if that is an issue that precludes you from concealing your weapon. Simple solution... I just don't understand why some people are in such need of attention to open carry. Why draw un-needed attention to yourself...

      Gun on plane (but not with me)

      That is not entirely accurate. For instance, assuming Eagle Creek does not prohibit firearms in their facilities, and their rental regulations don't prohibit it, you "should" be OK. But flying in or out of a class C airport such as Terre Haute or Evansville, you would not be able to take it...

      I agree. You made the right choice to be polite and cooperate. Had you asked some wise question they could have decided to arrest you for carrying illegally. Good choice on your demeanor and attitude with the officers.
