Where did you OC today?

[Boost Lee]

A first for me tonight: while at my Monday evening bible study at the Warsaw Martin's/Starbucks, I was approached by an officer who asked if I had a permit (sic) for my OC.

Anyway, so that's my story from the evening experience ...and everyone survived to live another day, eat another donut, and drink way too much coffee.

...oh, wait a minute, that's not the end...

It was a Glock ...the gun on my side, it was a Glock 27. End of story!

Great post. Repped.

Also... to stand up for LEO's... practically the first day of going into the academy, they put an emphasis on concealing when not on duty and that exposing your
firearm without your gear (radio, specifically) puts you at a disadvantage if a BG tries to attack you, knowingly, that you can't just radio for back up.

So... to NOT stand up for that LEO, at least he was civil in the approach and kept it professional; Just sounds like he was stating his "learning" and preference.
Luckily for you, as long as you aren't wearing one of those stupid "POLICE" shirts or a "POLICE" hat while OC'ing as a law-abiding citizen,
I don't think you'll fall under that targeting of attracting BG cop killers.

Walmart in Elkhart.
Not 100% sure it was about me but after I paid for my items I heard cashier get on the intercom and scream for security as I was leaving.
She kinda got bug eyed when I went to pay for my stuff. So I'm guessing it was probably about me carrying.

Bremen Chiropractics. The Doc asked about my wife's revolver and why I was carrying it off side. Chatted me up about handguns for a bit.
Weaver's Ag & Lawn (used to be Raider's, Bremen). One joking comment from the employee helping me about not over charging me since I was carrying. Other than that just a normal day.

The wife and I carried for a couple years in there with no problem.

I went early in the morning around 6 am right after work. I think I was the only customer at the time. Didn't see anybody else there except employees.
Been there before in the afternoon a few times and no problems. I must have looked scary or something.

Bremen Fireman's Festival to watch the parade with the fam. Had a good time...except for the heat.

My wife and I spent a lot of time hanging out and running around with my family this weekend/week. We were in and out of convenience stores, shops, etc... all week. Went with the extended family down to the Gasthof Amish restaurant in Montgomery, IN for lunch on Tuesday. The "girls" enjoyed browsing the shops while the "guys" sat and BS-ed. My wife managed to NOT buy anything, so it was a good day.

Also stopped and saw the third largest railroad trestle outside of Tulip, IN on the way home.

La Hacienda on Miami Rd. Tuesday night. Nothing remarkable.

OC'ed at Cheddars in Avon. No issues.

 

[Classic Liberal]

Panera Bread at Metropolis Mall, then on to Petsmart for some new cat bowls.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Starbucks, Circle K, McDonalds, and Walgreens.

The cashier at Walgreens looked over and said "Is that a 9mm?"
"Nope, 40"
"Ah, a 40mm. How many does it hold in the chamber?"
"Well, one in the chamber, and 16 in the magazine."
"Ah, but a 9mm would hold a little more, right?"
"Depends on the gun!"

An odd conversation, sure, but a conversation none-the-less.

There was a sheriff car at starbucks, but they must have been plainclothes, because i didn't notice him/her inside.

Yesterday at Raccoon Lake State Park, then at Walgreens in WL, and Menards. Bought a gun cabinet. Was OCing a S&W 66 combat magnum.

Ouch. That's an ACoE property.

Yeah, but they wouldn't control the WHOLE property would they?

Everything inside the project boundary. At this lake, it includes Raccoon State Park.

Here is the ACoE map:

Compare to the DNR flyer/map (which says this is an ACoE property as well):

Next time you are there, look for the orange boundary markers. You'll be surprised how far from the water they are.

What exactly is the penalty for carrying on an ACoE property? Confiscation of the firearm? Fine? Jail time? Just curious.

Thanks! I was never good at researching those properties anyway (never been to one either)
