Where did you OC today?

[ArcadiaGP]

Was at The Garage for a few hours, OC'd in all my glory. We had about 15 co-workers there, none of them noticed until about halfway through. One said "Is that a ... why do you have a GUN?!"

Couple small conversations about Indiana gun laws, etc... so now the people I work with, and my boss, know I carry a gun :P

The Speedway at Miami and Ireland in The Bend after the UT permit class at Kodiak.

None of us could get the fingerprint ink off our fingers after the class. That would have been an interesting interaction with a LEO. The CZ PO-1 on my hip and fingerprint ink on my digits.

Went to the Hacienda on Miami and then Martins in Erskine Plaza after the wife and I also completed the UT permit class at Kodiak.

Plymouth: Subway and Game Stop. No issues.

and you have got to be kidding right??? or is it not related to the night out and the "gun". If so that is really some sad crap.

No clue. Certainly not performance related, as I out-perform everyone there consistently. I'm curious if it was due to me carrying "off-the-clock" with co-workers nearby, and if so, what my options are

Seriously? Start a new thread and fill us in.

Then give Guy a buzz to check on your options. "At Will" employment cuts both ways, but there are a few protections (or, if you are a pure-bred Libertarian, a few egregious violations of someone's rights).

Took all 5 of my kids to get haircuts (before school) to 'great clips' on Ireland where scottsdale mall used to be.. non one seemed to care then took the family to Hacienda on Miami in 'the bend'... (twas dinner for my berfday)... then came back home.

 

[theweakerbrother]

Sadly, your options are probably "none" as Indiana is at-will. Kirk Freeman can chime in.

That is nuts man. Have you found out for sure why yet?

 

[tbhausen]

****! **** isn't even a ****ing swear word!

What the hell?! I hope whoever replaces you is a terrible, lazy, no-good SOB. I'm sure many here would be happy to avoid doing business with said company if it's in retail.

The hell...

When I read that you were OC-ing in front of your co-workers and had let the cat out of the bag that you are one of those 'gun nuts' that actually think their life is worth defending, I immediately thought, "I hope that it doesn't come around and bite him in the *** at his job..."

I sincerely hope it works out for you...

I OCed at Pizza Hut today. There were three Montgomery County Sheriff Dept. officers eating there (within tasing distance).

Up at the buffet line, one young officer sparked up a conversation.

"What generation Glock is that?"

I pistol whipped him and left him on the floor near the salad bar.

No, not really. As much as I wanted to tell him it was an 8th Gen and comment that the 4th Gen in his holster was still rather quaint... I let him know it was a Springfield XDm.

A little more small talk while loading up then told him to have a nice day. He might not be a gun guy, but I appreciated the non-issue and smiles as I walked past their table a few more times.

+1 MCSD and +1 Pizza Hut. I've never had an issue with either.

Yeah, that's harsh. Fishy timing to say the least.

Any more details?

 

[Titanium_Frost]

Target, two restaurants, CVS, Shoe Carnival, Jo-Ann's, and several other places.

No issues.

Sorry to hear about the job man, that sucks.

OC'ed at Potawatami park in South Bend. Had a nice picnic with Clay, Scott, Lance and a bunch of kids running around. The park was packed with people. Me, Lance, Clay and Jen (Clay's wife) were all OC. At one point while we were grilling, a lady came up to us and asked if we felt it was really unsafe there. I commented that there is a lot of crime on that side of town. She kind of shrugged and made a little small talk. We wished her a good day, and that was it. No problems whatsoever.

She may have called the cops and/or pooped her pants at your freedom levels.

Her question seems to be the one that I find most irritating. No stupid, if I felt it was that "unsafe" I wouldn't be here.

Idiots! Like we have to qualify carrying by relating it to current crime levels in a specific area.

For the last two days I haven't been able to OC, or at least not until we left Holiday World. I re-armed in their parking lot this afternoon as we were loading up to drive home.

We stopped at a gas station outside of Marengo for some go juice, then drove down the road to Corydon to a Frisch's for dinner. Got some looks walking back and forth to the salad bar. Might not have helped that I was also wearing my Shooters 'n Scooters shirt and we were discussing the fact that I was designing this year's shirts.
