OC Crown Point

[Fubanator]

Anyone have any experiences they can share about OC in Crown Point and the areas around it.

 

[youngda9]

Just do it and report back

(Oh, and do as I say and not as I do)

 

[Rookie]

Sounds like good advice to me!

I live in Munster, and I regularly OC in Munster, Highland, Dyer, and Schererville. I have not had an issue yet, not so much as a comment from an LEO, and one LEO was standing about 5 feet from me when he observed that I was carrying. Of course, its really a matter of individuals, and one LEO may react differently than another. But if I haven't had any issues in Munster, Highland, Dyer, or Schererville then I wouldn't think your experience in CP should be much different. In fact, since CP is more on the rural side than my part of Lake County, you're probably less likely to have a negative experience than I am. I have a buddy who lives south of the fairgrounds, and I have OC'd when visiting him, but not in the area around the town square. I should say "not yet". If I have an occasion to go to the CP town square, I will OC. You will be fine.

Have OCd there... and east to the county border with no issue.

Crown Point is usually pretty good while OCing. I work there and the only place I don't OC is of course the fairgrounds. Everywhere else I have been recieved pretty well. They still have a pretty good Small Town mentality.

Why not the fair grounds? They hold gun shows there on a monthy basis.

 

[walt o]

The fair grounds HAD a sign posted "no firearms "but was changed to comply with the new law.

Did that sign come down? It was there last time I was at a show in February, I think it was. It doesn't mean anything, but I thought it was still there.

I live in CP and OC all over the place. I've had very few negative experiences. A Gander Mountain gun counter clerk tried to tell me that Indiana was a CC only state.

The better one was at the Walgreens on Main and Summit. I was getting a movie from the Redbox and a Lake County Sheriff's officer came up and asked for my "permit" and told me that I wasn't allowed to carry with a round in the chamber. I wished I would've asked him about revolvers. He also told me I couldn't OC, but the whole encounter lasted about 1 minute and he walked away when I told him he was wrong on both accounts.

Those are the only two things that've ever happened in my 5 years of OC'ing around NWI.

Sounds like that Sheriff's Deputy could qualify to work @ Gander Mountain.

I haven't been to the fairgrounds to a gun show or fair in over a year. Therefore, the last time I was there, i was complying with the law but keeping the firearm in my car.

I OC all over Crown Point, Cedar Lake, Lowell and everywhere else in NWI.... No issues to report, talked guns a few times with random strangers... No negative experiences.
