Anyone here Open Carry in Indiana?

AKsteve · 01-18-2008

Just curious if anyone around here open carries (vs concealed carry) If so where and what kind of reactions do you get?

I did a couple times back when I was a new carrier. I dont anymore. No point in drawing attention to myself.

i don't like the attention. but alot of people say i look like a cop so i never got hassled much. i have done both i guess it depends on what gun i am carry'n.

Fenway · 01-19-2008

So what gun do you carry open and what do you carry concealed?

I can't imagine Open Carrying going down very well in Bloomington

Even though legal, I wouldn't carry openly because I wouldn't want the hassle of dealing with the "man with a gun" complaints that may be called in. Besides, it's nobody else's business if I'm armed or not. I want it to be a surprise.

None, save the possibility of a potential aggressor being deterred by seeing the firearm.

Not a single advantage in your opinion? How about a faster draw
