Carrying without LTCH

[SteviGX]

I really hope that this is a much less common than I am hoping. I was talking to guy I work with who was shot a few years ago. I was talking about how long the wait times for LTCH have been with all the people applying.

He went on to tell me that he carries a 45, has no idea what model, anything about it, just mexican carries it most everywhere he goes.

I tried to explain how irresponsible that was but he really didn't seem to give a ****. Has anyone dealt with someone that has an attitude like that? I'm trying to convince him to apply for his LTCH so that he will be legal but he really doesn't seem interested at all.

Some people are just asking to be arrested.

He probably can not get one legally.
Good example of how restrictions will only effect legal owners etc.

What exactly does "Mexican carries" mean?

 

[Hohn]

He was shot once already. I can see how he might be disinclined to embrace that idea that he has to ask permission to defend himself.

That said, breaking the law doesn't do any of us any good.

I agree with churchmouse ....

and it doesn't help us when we are trying to fight to keep our rights. Now I am not saying that I agree with the LTC thing, but that is the current law.

Some may have Constitutional objections to the licensing by the state of what is in actuality a Right reserved by the People at whom's consent that state governs.

If they passed a law requiring you apply for a license to attend church or read the newspaper of your choosing, would you comply?

so, too, were the sugar tax, stamp tax, quartering of soldiers, etc... in 1775. Just sayin'

What exactly does "Mexican carries" mean?

Carrying a gun inside the waistband without any kind of holster.

Not the safest way to carry a gun.

I hate it myself but having had issues in the past I find it best to pay their freaking tax and do the boot licking.

The penalties for carrying without a license are pretty severe, and you'll never get a LTCH after being arrested for not having one. While I do not agree that the process should be necessary, it is still the law in Indiana and our procedure is less onerous than most other states.

 

[LPMan59]

maybe getting a LTCH is his line in the sand lolz

Looks like appendix carry to me since it looks like there is a holster.

This is possibly the most honest statement I've seen posted in a while. And it saddens me.

Unless the standards have changed since 1994, this is untrue.

When I carry that way, I just tuck "Old Fred" in my sock to keep him out of the way. I don't see the problem.

I typically use an ankle holster for that though

I bet you would agree that the urinal water is really cold too
