Anyone here Open Carry in Indiana?

[ATM]

Open carry is legal in NM w/out a permit. However, you will rarely see anyone in larger cities such as ABQ, or Santa Fe open carrying. The cops would be on you like white on rice....whether that's legal or not, it's just the sad fact.

Sad facts are remedied by swift lawsuits.
Make it costly to hassle the legal rice.

I find your comment "white on rice" to be highly offensive and racist. I demand an apology.

Doesn't the term "like white on rice" lose some relevance with the preference by some for brown rice?
"I" prefer seasoned brown rice myself.

Talk about costly solutions.
I think that I mentioned that one would need a pricey attorney to fight the Law Enforcement community. Additionally one would need to possess the financial freedom to take whatever number of days off work for incarceration, as well as subsequent court days.

I have OC'ed in Clay Terrace MANY times without a single notice. Know one seems to be looking for it and if they do they don't say anything. If they call the cops I will show them my permit and go on about my day, if they detain me or take my weapon I will enjoy the nice lawsuit money as lots of others have lately...

.... OK; so ONE man in NEW MEXICO is lots of people.

And that is why I find his statement so offensive. It puts the other types of rice on a lower level to "white rice". We need equal treatment of all rice. I'm starting a group for the equal treatment and advancement of non white rice.

At what cost should we allow sad facts such as this to continue, or worse, spread?

I'd rather pay up front in time and cash than later in eroded liberty.

quoted, just in case.

that's right because converted rice can't be left out because of it's alternative lifestyle choice.

This sounds like showing your hand at cards to me. I prefer accessable but hidden.

Not exactly.

In real life, I'd rather show that I have a strong hand and cause them to fold early.

Playing cards, I might prefer to feign weakness and sucker them into making a bet.

Huge difference when that bet is my life.

I don't really have any quarrels with posting a message in a thread that has died not once, but twice.

I just found this forum through a Google search, and this thread was particularly appealing to me.

I've been living in South Korea for the past year, where it is illegal to even own a firearm. I can't wait to get back to good ol' Indiana in January.

I wanted to share this story from 2005:

I was living in Terre Haute at the time, on 13th Street, a block south of Wabash. Not a very good neighborhood. At the time, I would always CC. When my girlfriend was around to visit, she liked me to carry and walk her out to the car, just in case. On one particular day, I was in a rush. I grabbed my paddle holster with my Glock 37, threw my t-shirt over it, and walked her down to the car. While I was standing at the car talking to her, the wind blew my shirt up and about 30 seconds later, a THPD officer pulls up. He had been sitting across the street doing paperwork, and had happened to look up just as the wind revealed the gun. So, he has me assume the position, seizes the weapon, pats me down, and waits for backup to arrive. After the backup comes, they escort me into my apartment, check my license, and then instead of giving the gun back and letting me go, they stay for another 10 minutes while they're waiting on a check to see if the weapon is stolen. In all, it wasted about 30 minutes of my day, but afterward we got to talking about their service pistols and the pros and cons of .40 S&W.

That's the only time I'm ever had any hassle from an LEO. One time I was on a bike ride with my nephew, again in Terre Haute, and I was OCing (far more comfortable than CC when you're on a bicycle). Some ghetto punk made a comment "aww he be ridin' dirty" as we went by.

Open carry. Kimchi.

Cool.
where are you stationed? I spent a few weeks at Warrior Base in '04. It's not far from Boniface and Greaves.

Wow. What a great first post! He be ridin' dirty!

I likes me some OC and spicy stinky cabbage!

 

[emsdial911]

In the summer I OC and CC during the winter only because of wearing a jacket. I have never had any negative or rude comments and only had 2 or 3 comments at all about OC

I don't understand why people have to slam open carrying, it's an individual's choice. Sometimes I OC and sometimes I CC, sometimes it depends on where I'm going, what I'm doing that day, or what I happen to be wearing. If I have on a long shirt or a t-shirt and a hoodie, I usually will OC just so I don't have to fight with getting my hand up under my hoodie and pull the gun further into my hoodie before I can get the gun up to my target. If I actually have a problem where I need to draw, clothing issues are not something I want to worry about, especially if there are only a few seconds that make the difference. If I'm just wearing a t-shirt though, I will usually CC. Also, I work in retail and they tell us, if you see someone stealing, approach them and ask if you can help them find anything. Just the fact that they now know you are there and watching them, is usually enough to detour them. That's kind of the way I look at open carrying, if someone can see it, it may be enough to detour them from anything bad they may have been planning. If not, at least I can get to it without worrying about hanging up on my clothes. But I've never had any problems or weird reactions from people or LEO about it. I just had one cop in Pendleton ask me if I had a license to carry my gun and I showed it to him and we parted ways. I think if you like to OC then do it. If you don't like to OC, then don't do it.

is open carry even legal?
