I have been minus firearms for going on 3 weeks... sniff, sniff...
But I have been drinking a LOT of GREAT beer here in Germany!!! 2 more days and back to the suck I go...
I CC'd at Church Sunday and then went to a local Taco Johns for lunch afterward. While there several people from Church came in and see my Ruger. I had it OC then. Anyway, there were a couple comments I didn't agree with and some less than agreeable looks sent my way.
Three of the people I have had one on one conversations with and now they were looking at me like I just boned a quadriplegic right in front of them.
I didn't say anything, because the Pastor at the Church gave me his OK to carry at Church, so they can do and or say what they want.
City Councilman Nat Bates said he will try to restore a long-abandoned local ordinance allowing police to randomly search vehicles for weapons and contraband. Had it still been in place, he said, the men might have thought twice about carrying a gun.
I open carried to Best Buy in Terre Haute yesterday afternoon. I walked in and kinda stood in the mobile phones section waiting on a rep to be available. When one finally was, he came around, saw my sidearm and said, wide-eyed, "Uh... you're carrying a gun. I don't think I can talk to you." Now, I'll admit that I had intentionally stuffed my umbrella into my back pocket right behind the gun so that if anybody asked, "Why do you have that?" I could just answer, "In case it rains." But I was unprepared for what he'd said. So I just proceeded to start saying, "Well, I'm here to—" "You want to preorder, I know. You're wearing an Apple t-shirt; I got it." " Yep! Thanks!"
After I got my preorder done, I wandered around the whole store for a while. Terre Haute just got its Best Buy a few months ago, so I wanted to see what all was there. Not a bad store, IMHO. Although a coworker says it's a bit light in the appliances department. Plenty of HDTVs though!
Roadie and I met for lunch at the Main Street Diner in Beech Grove today. We both OC'ed. It went well.
And yes, of course I had bacon on that double cheeseburger. So yummy!
These two threads have been started but need updated.Is there a list of gun-friendly (and gun-unfriendly) businesses on INGO? I got fed up with my bank when they posted their silly policy on their doors, and I'm considering moving my account somewhere else, but it'd be nice to have a list of IN businesses.

I will say one thing---the tellers at 5/3 in Merrillville certainly work faster when I OC
who cares what their dumb sign says. its not legaly enforcible in Indiana. If they ask you to leave then leave and find another bank. Most members on here have posted possitive encounters while OC'ing in their banks.
Very true. I'm just trying to figure out whether it's worth it to change banks on principle. The bad thing about that is that banks are bought and sold so often (which is what happened here). You try to support a local business, and then they're bought out by a big, politically correct mega-bank.
I thought I had heard someone say that 5th 3rd was installing metal detectors at the doors. Is that true?
