Northeast Indiana Stores Unfriendly Towards Open Carry or Firearms

[gjclark]

I didn't see a sticky or thread for this but if there is please point me in its direction. I think it would be good to compile a list of stores that people have had bad experiences in or stores that do not allow Open or Concealed Carry. We could just make the structure: City, Street, Store: Experience (ex. Fort Wayne, Coliseum Dr., ZX Guns: They told me my open carry was outdated and that I needed to by a new one...kidding of course). I just started carrying openly (and concealed actually) so I am curious to see what we can gather for Indiana.

Haven't been in any stores in the NE part of the state, but most stores have a "no loaded guns" sign on the door. I am of the belief that is directed toward those bringing in guns to sell or trade or have work done, not necessarily towards people carrying. However, I don't OC so I have never been told to leave a LGS for carrying.

ETA: not sure why I read the title as pertaining to gun shops.

Personally I don't care to know if someone has had a bad experience in a particular business front. (Unless it has been resolved favorably)

I give every business the benefit of the doubt. I treat them all as if they appreciate my business (money). Absent of pressure from "anti groups" most businesses don't care who enters their establishment.

I OC, we'll right now I am usually wearing a heavy coat, but when I take it off my weapon is visible. I never worry about entering and I very seldom have any confrontation. If I am accosted and asked to leave I comply and let them know that I will not come back and spend money. Afterward I confirm their policy with management or corporate headquarters. Most corporations have a policy of allowing whatever state law allows. They want your money.

The last time I OC'd into the Allen County courthouse the goons made me put it in a locker. I felt violated. It was horrible.

Fort Wayne, Coliseum, Toys R Us: No firearms permitted sign. Will be emailing corporate.

How many times have I told you to quit carrying that .308 bolt gun in an ankle holster?!

Costco is anti-gun, but I haven't seen any signs (doesn't help that they have that giant door open in the middle of winter) and I don't' recall signing any contract when I joined, but then again i got my membership through work, so maybe it was in that. I CC'd in there my first time and didn't have an issue.

I emailed Glenbrook Mall once about it and received no response.

I just CC or semi-CC and don't worry about it.

Pick n Pull in Hammond told me no guns. Haven't been back since

No gun signs on the AMC theater by the mall on rt30 in Hobart/MVille. Also Scherrerville

There's an app for that.

Zx guns is friendly. As long as you don't flag me or do something stupid I like to See it

I dont think I have seen a gun store in NE that does NOT allow you to open carry.
