Bluffton, Indiana

[Oldman]

The public needs to be educated regarding the law. From the News Banner yesterday. Education is needed whether we agree with open carry or not. perhaps some letters to the editors?

It was a mwag report of a gentleman at Wal-Mart OCing his firearm with a newly acquired "open carry permit." The caller reported that the man appeared to be reaching for his weapon.

Letter to the editor for what?

 

[Eddie]

So if he wasn't reaching for the gun then someone phoned in a false report. That is the person who needs to be identified and "educated".

 

[Coach]

How is an open carry permit obtained.

How is an open carry permit obtained.

The License to Carry a Handgun does not specify open or concealed carry. It just tells everyone you paid your tax to carry and passed a state background check. Indiana requires that you have that license before you can take your firearm for a ride.

pretty sure coach was being sarcastic

I believe Coach was being facetious.

Need a link to the article please.

OK, I searched the News Banner's LTE section and am unable to find the letter you're referring to.

RMABREY & TRIPP11, I think you’re both wrong! Pretty sure the coach is Presbyterian!!! LOL

Looks more like a police blotter report.

It is a police report and the education needed is for the general public so people don't have a sclit fit every time they see a gun.

I am pretty sure you need a subscription to view the paper in its entirety. I copied and pasted the information...if my word isn't good enough so be it.

Your word is fine for me.

Although the info is not entirely accurate, this report actually does convey the fact that open carry is legal with a "permit" (we know it's a license and allows concealed carry as well.)

Hopefully, the readers will surmise that he didn't actually commit any infraction of the law, in which case his arrest would have likely been reported in the same item.

Just my open carrying .

My wife is from Bluffton, so I know all too well what hits the News Banner. Smallest fender benders, speeding, switching lanes too close to a intersect, public intox, ect.... Your word was good enough for me as soon as I saw Bluffton / New Banner...

Its a police report for a typical MWAG. No big deal.

 

[dagibson1507]

Anywhere we can see the acticle in its entirety without a substricption? It looks like it was posted then removed for copyright reasons.

Well, if my gun malfunctioned as much as his Para, I would find religion too!

Sarcasm is just one of my my talents. And yes that is what I was doing.

Working on the religion, and the Para is in TN getting fixed.

I messed up by copying the blurb from the newspaper. I do apologize for violating the rule. I post on golf and political forums almost daily and never have run across that rule. I did not know but ignorance is no excuse.
