I just found this forum through a Google search, and this thread was particularly appealing to me.

I've been living in South Korea for the past year, where it is illegal to even own a firearm. I can't wait to get back to good ol' Indiana in January.

I wanted to share this story from 2005:

I was living in Terre Haute at the time, on 13th Street, a block south of Wabash. Not a very good neighborhood. At the time, I would always CC. When my girlfriend was around to visit, she liked me to carry and walk her out to the car, just in case. On one particular day, I was in a rush. I grabbed my paddle holster with my Glock 37, threw my t-shirt over it, and walked her down to the car. While I was standing at the car talking to her, the wind blew my shirt up and about 30 seconds later, a THPD officer pulls up. He had been sitting across the street doing paperwork, and had happened to look up just as the wind revealed the gun. So, he has me assume the position, seizes the weapon, pats me down, and waits for backup to arrive. After the backup comes, they escort me into my apartment, check my license, and then instead of giving the gun back and letting me go, they stay for another 10 minutes while they're waiting on a check to see if the weapon is stolen. In all, it wasted about 30 minutes of my day, but afterward we got to talking about their service pistols and the pros and cons of .40 S&W.

That's the only time I'm ever had any hassle from an LEO. One time I was on a bike ride with my nephew, again in Terre Haute, and I was OCing (far more comfortable than CC when you're on a bicycle). Some ghetto punk made a comment "aww he be ridin' dirty" as we went by.

Wow. What a great first post! He be ridin' dirty!
