    Because John Wayne did.

    Good enough reason for me!

    Seriously you guys I am only curious. I have no bias/opinion either way at this point. I just wanted to start a conversation. Some of these replies seem a bit defensive. I don't mind the sarcasm so much...I like sarcasm as much as I like bacon...

    When I choose to OC it's because it's legal to do so in Indiana. Simple as that.

    The ugly girls in our high school always did. That's why they had dates.

    Guys will date girls that carry bacon around? This is a tactic I MUST try immediately :) And even if I don't attract any guys I'd at least have an army of like 50 dogs following me around. Who would mess with me then?!

    .....
    I referred to the books, and have found that it IS IN FACT LEGAL to OC bacon as long as you are in the act of eating said bacon. If you are NOT eating bacon, it should be transported in an appropriate container. Failure to comply with these bylaws can result in the loss of bacon privilige.

    I guess I'm not normal by most standards but my IWB is just as comfortable as my best belt holster and more comfortable than most belt holsters I have so if I am "open carrying" it will still be with my IWB and my shirt tucked in which is VERY seldom. Having said that I guess you could say that I never open carry?

    Usually OC when I am hunting or out and about doing chores. I am about 50/50 in my carry style.


    I'm here on my carrying ^.

    And Welcome to INGO, just remember.....when you post something...anything....expect post hijackers to start posting stupid stuff, ignore it or join it.

    But then it seems you are doing a good job at holding your own :)

    So i'll +1 you for being a good sport :yesway:
