Good post. I just want to comment on the section quoted above. Someone may be harassed, or even arrested for openly carrying a long gun, but they will never be convicted because there is no crime to be convicted of. In Indiana there is no "Carrying a Rifle" or "Carrying a Shotgun" charge, or anything similar.
