open carry

[rhino]

to rhino, coach and all the other th readers and carriers nice to know there are others exercising our right to carry open in th. i still carry the letter around with me from chief plasse that was referenced earlier but am glad that i have not had to use it yet. i get some wierd looks at various parts of town but no mwg calls, knock on wood. I would definitely be game for a carry event around terre haute if people would be interested since it seems all the events on here happen so far away, just a thought.

You should scan your letter and post it somewhere so we can make copies!

I open carried in Columbus today on the way home from a match and no one batted an eye. It could be that I am so darm skinny that no one noticed me.

i open carried in B-Dubs in greenwood today and i noticed everyone i walked by got real quiet and stared, the hostess was really nice to me though (i honestly dont see why people act like that, im just another person, but another person that can protect him self and his family and not give them a chance to get in harms way). but the people in gander didnt seem to mind at all

 

[Marc]

Yep, we had one yesterday, and I am planning one for next month already. The more people the merrier, and the more central location I can get.

time, date, location, please and start a new thread for this in "general"

It is a sad day in America when we brag about open carry, it just goes through my head over and over " SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" !!

buffalo wild wings in the back of gander mountains parking lot in greenwood right there at emerson and county line road.

oh and i also got confronted by a 10yr old kid today in walmart. he came up and stared at me for about 2 minutes and then asked me if i had a license to carry. i got and answered yes in a irretated tone and he said "cool" and ran away. the only reason why i said it in an irretated tone was im tired of people thinking either they got to treat me special or fearing me just cause i have a gun. im thinking of getting a shirt made that sais "Yes I have a permit to carry a gun, does that answer your question?" it may sound bitter but hey im a gun owner

I realy like the idea of a shirt that says that Id buy some !!!

true... that was the flip side of my thought but i didnt put that down, it could very easily breed trouble.

They're friendly at the B-Dub in South Bend, too. At least nobody said anything unfriendly to me when I was OCing there a couple weeks ago.

Carrying a pistol around openly and wearing a smartass T-shirt in public is probably not the best way to portray gun owners in a positive light. Most people, including gun owners, do not open carry. It's uncommon, so you are going to get stares. Especially from kids. Especially in an urban or suburban area where people aren't exposed to guns as much as out in the country.

But Id just be exercising my constitutional rights nothing wrong with that !

 

[Marc]

yes you are but remember

I am going to the CCB here in Indy tomorrow and get my Lifetime Indiana License. My Kentucky License expires soon. Plus I am now a resident of this Great State.

I know I should have done this months ago. I hope I get the License before they even consider not issueing PPPermits here anymore.

Didn't want to open a new thread for this question. And I feel like it's a dumb one, but I've gotten conflicting answers from a few people.

The LTCH covers all carrying, and without one you cannot open carry. Am I correct in this assumption?

I have been told that I need the LTCH for both, and only for CCW. The one who told me the former was the guy who sold me my pistol, the other is an IUPD cop. They're both rather reliable resources, so I'd like to hear from another one.

Also, I am correct in assuming that carrying on the IU campus is illegal, yes?

You need a LTCH to carry a handgun off your property, open or concealed. However, with it, you may carry that handgun however you feel like.

Thanks. Like I said, that's what I thought... I think the officer was told differently for himself (due to being an officer) and confused the rules for him with the rules for me. Ah well, no biggy.
