    I needed to stop by Lowe's home improvement as I was leaving bloomington today.

    I had on my "I club Hippies" T-shirt, G 23 in leather don Hume holster.

    Parking up front by the "Contractors" door because of the guns that was in my truck. I didnt make it 15' out of my truck when I got called out.



    In a stearn voice I hear.













    You must be an INGO member.:D:D:D

    Yep, I got called out by another member.
    :rofl:

    I DID IT, I'M THE ONE!

    Here I am walking into Lowes Contractor doors, minding my own business (concealed carrying I might ad) wearing my "Give me liberty, or, I will get up and get it myself" t-shirt,
    and right there in plain sight, out in the open,
    a big ol' Glock is hangin' right out in the wide open spaces, on some guy who is BRAZENLY open carrying IN BLOOMINGTON!

    I mean there could have been children nearby, so I said in a stern voice, "Gotta be an INGO member"!

    To which this armed man turned and smiled pleasantly and said, "How did you know" I answered, it's Bloomington and you are "open carrying"!

    We introduced ourselves, had a brief conversation about the SKS shoot I couldn't make, and we went on about our business.

    And as far as I know, IndyMonkey and I, openly and covertly kept that store safe for at least 15-20 minutes!

    It was cool seeing and meeting you!

    It is always fun to put faces with screen names.

    Innocent, this time, if it wasn't Saturday, it wasn't me!
    Must be another very patriotic "handsome" old guy running around Bloomington? :D

    Did the shirt look like this?
