Who OC's and is under 25 years old?

[recon]

You guys that open carry of often, how do you carry, on your hip, drop leg, etc?

I carry on my hip. Haven't you heard? We think we are cowboys.

 

[ATM]

I OCed back when I was young and dumb.





Of course, I still prefer OC now that I am old and wise.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw!

I carry on my right hip. Lol, I'm not sure I could pull off a drop leg holster. I have a friend that "OC" carries with a small of the back holster. But it's covered up 99% of the time.

I'm 23 and I open carry a full size xd.40 but they ended today because I bought a lc9 to carry inside my waistband. I hated the attention and the weird looks and questions I got about open carrying

Perhaps you should look at it the other way. Maybe you should feel greatful for the chance to educate the uneducated, the occasional looks of respect, and the fact that everyone who notices it knows without a doubt that you're not an easy target.

That is true I guess lol I'm just not a fan of every looking at me. The only thing that people have asked me when I have openly carryied is why I carry period, and one guy said it was because of the video games lol but I have got a few old guys congratulate me for carrying. Also I'm located in southern Indiana around Jeffersonville

I'm 28 now... I use to CC, but I OC 99% of the time now. Where I use to live... the community and LEO's freaked out more if i was CC'ing and they spot the bulge or the grip when going for my pockets... I guess they figure I'm trying to hide something I'm not suppose to have...?!?!?! So, now I OC and have no issue at all. I get young people 20yrs and younger ask why i carry a gun and etc... and i give them a nice education in our rights as American's... They walk away educated and with a new look on folks that carry firearms...

For the longest time, I CC'd and tried to keep it discrete, but as I've learned and get older,
The general populous (at least around central Indiana) understands that a man carrying an openly exposed firearm on his hip.......

.....has nothing to hide; Therefore, no threat. Not to confuse that with our liberal friends that disagree, but again - I have nothing to hide.

 

[tr1gg3r]

I am 25 and OC whenever possible. I have only ever received positive remarks about it.

 

[jwhites4]

I'm 24 and CC when at work and school, but when not at either of those places I OC. I make sure to wear a polo or button down shirt just to not look like a slob. I try to be very polite to everyone I encounter and if I see a LEO or armed security I make sure to make eye contact and give them a nod. I have yet to have a bad encounter with the LEOs where i recently moved. The way I see it, I spent $1000 on a gun, it would be a shame to not let anyone but me see it. haha

 

[Scout103]

I'm new to INGO and the forums, but I'm glad ya'll are an active bunch on here. I'm 20 now and it looks like I'll be OC'ing when I can now. Ya'll are great for info, it's great to hear personal stories from other Hoosiers.

 

[Glock22-27]

22 and have only OC'd so far. Prolly gonna stay like that for a while until summer and I get my white hat IWB holster in the mail.

 

[IndyGunner]

22 since 19!

 

[Caleb]

I'm 25 now, 26 in less than two weeks...I started to open carried my ruger p345 when was 22 or 23, never had any problems.

 

[superjoe76]

I realize I am posting this 10 years too late but, I am glad to see all you "youngsters" exercising your rights! I have always liked firearms just never thought much about carrying, now I do it all the time.

Keep up the good work, dang kids!

Im 21 and I just got my LTCH less than a week ago. I own two handguns, a walther PPK for CC and a Taurus PT1911 for OC. I thought i would have liked to CC but after carrying my 1911 OC i think that's what i will stick with. I also feel that i can aim better with a full frame handgun as it fits my meet hooks better than the small PPK. so far Ive OC'd a few places here in columbus- kroger, gas stations, liqueur store, Movie store (family vid.). no one has said anything or made a scene but the beer store lady was eyeing my quite suspiciously :]

 

[armedindy]

anyone under 25 already gets harrassed enough by police and older folks..oc'ing would just accentuate it

I never had any problems at all in Columbus

That is great to hear, Caleb. My father has had his LTCH longer than ive been alive and to my knowledge he has never had any problems carrying.
