Where did you OC today?

Western Days

Up in Russiaville? How was it? I tried to talk my wife into driving up, but no dice.

It was alright. It is a small town festival. Small Car show, there were some vary nice looking rides there I thought. Some kids rides and games, and festival food.

Just Shell gas station today, had the clerk ask if I was a cop (Which I'm not but I've been getting a lot of that lately). He apparently didn't know that Indiana was an open carry state and was surprised by the fact that I've never been stopped or harassed by Carmel PD.

went to Roush Lake today, OC at Wal-mart before, Meijer and Steak and Shake after.

Why isn't this a sticky?

Why does it need to be if we're always bumping it cause we're always OCing?

Today I hit up Shakamak SP again, lots of eyes fixated, a few concerned looks, no problems. That many more people out there seeing that OC and the 2A is nothing to fret over seeing in action. Oh and the weather was spectacular compared to last weeks hot and muggy so I hope other INGOers got to get outdoors as well.

I normally dont open carry unless im in my house or truck. Maybe if I stop to get gas and pay at the pump i will have it open. I try to make sure it is always covered by a shirt. I dont really care if it prints but i do my best to keep it hidden. A couple days ago I stopped at a pizza place on my way home in Shelbyville to get a $5 pizza. Went in open carrying. I had just got off work so I was in a shirt and tie. G19 in an UBG holster.... I dont think anyone even noticed. I was shocked..... I will have to do this more often. It was nice not to have to worry about keeping it concealed.

I've open carried around Columbus and it has yet to be a big issue anywhere.

OC'd all over Leavenworth, IN this weekend. Wife was reading a book on diabetes since I was diagnosed last week. Turns out that if my sugar level gets to low I could become "Beligerent" according to the book. She told me she would have to start carrying around a 5 year old girl to disarm me if that happens.

 

[CPT Nervous]

Seriously guys. Why isn't this a sticky? I feel like it should be sticky.

CAN SOMEONE MAKE IT STICKY????

That didn't come out right...

Various places around Warsaw this evening. If the weather is nice (and, sometimes, even when it's not), I'll be on the motorcycle. Picked up a Gatorade and a snack for a Bible study at a local park. Nice conversation with a woman walking her black lab. She noticed that I was OC and started talking about hunting with her family back home growing up ...how ever pickup truck had a gun rack in the back window, and that the first weekend of deer season was pretty much a national holiday ...and how much times have changed. Still, a good conversation, and a nice evening as well.

Over to PNC for my fiancee to close one of her accounts, and then to Chase to open up our joint account for the whole home purchase thing. No issues at either; as it should be. Although PNC did have one of those "no hats, hoods, or sunglasses" signs on the door. Wasn't an issue obviously, but I just dislike shopping/patronizing places that attempt to regulate me for their own purposes. Luckily, we're closing out her final accounts there in a month or two.

Belleville Softball Complex in South Bend to watch a fellow INGOer play. Thing is, this is a South Bend Parks and Recreation property, and they have listed "No Firearms" in their rules. South Bend is all butt hurt anyway about the new law forcing them to allow firearms. I wasn't expecting trouble, but was watchful anyway. Only thing that was said was when an umpire walked up behind the bleachers and said "I better watch out for this guy. Looks like he's packing."

Walmart in South Bend down the street from Kodiak Range. Grabbed school binders for the wife and an onion for dinner. Also OC'd into Kodiak. Man behind the counter refrained from yelling MWAG and calling in the SWAT team and Officer Maxsey.

I'm sorry, but every time I see a quote like that it makes my blood boil just a bit. Why do people say things like this, even in jest? Have we as a society lost our capacity to think before our mouths open?

RYAN!

I wish you would have given me a heads up. I want to go, too. Next time, dude!

I always consider dumb comments like this a compliment. If someone is willing to say something stupid to/about me while I am openly carrying a firearm, I obviously look like a very responsible and respectable individual who is not prone to shooting rampages.

As has been discussed before; if its so terrifying, why do people go out of their way to confront/insult/harass OC'ers if people who OC are so terrifying?

Answer: they're not terrifying at all! People who do that sort of crap already know that someone who is legally OCing is the LEAST likely person to hurt them, and so they feel fine about making some dumbass comment.

Thanks for coming out and watch my team put on a hit parade. The kids had a great time playing with your young'uns. I was expecting to hear some helicopters swarm in and drop SWAT on the complex, but oddly nothing of the such happened.

I never heard back from the SB city attorney (she has been pretty busy with all the SBPD issues I'm sure), but she must have smacked the SB park dept over the head and had them remove the no firearms verbiage from the park rules.

Oh, and to keep on topic of the thread, I just OC to Portage wine and liquor over on Miami to pick up a case of 3 Floyds Gumballhead (mmmmmmm...my favorite beer), speedway on corner of Miami/Ireland...Then to BW3's to pick up some wings for lunch. No screams of MWAG or Officer Maxsey sightings. All in all, great lunch! Now back to the grind.

OC'd to the park with a couple of friends and my fiancee for a picnic lunch. Enjoyable time was had by all. Some odd stares from under one of the pavilions, but whatever.

OC'd to Indy Trading Post today to the range , Then Subway in Greenwood for some grub.

Starbucks, Walmart, Brozzini's, and Pet Supplies
