Greetings. I will be visiting Fort Wayne for Labor Day weekend to attend a wedding. I plan on carrying my weapon for the duration of my visit. Can any residents give some tips on do’s and don’ts? Anything I need to know or prepare for?
Good morning Ryan, and welcome to INGO. Indiana honors all other state permits/licenses.

What are the venues for the wedding and reception?
I conceal carry nearly everywhere in Fort Wayne. Signs do not have the force of law so read the laws for truly illegal places (schools, courthouse, etc.). Otherwise just stay concealed and enjoy the weekend. Generally a safe town and the bad neighborhoods are reasonably isolated and you probably won't be near them.
His head will probably ‘splode with the amount of common freedom he’s about to experience.Flying in to Indiana from California?
Welcome to freedom.
I don't think there's a venue. I think it's a home wedding. Bride is my wife's cousin. I intend on taking my two-year-old to the zoo and similar activities. I was just wondering if there are any restrictions regarding places for kids.
So...California.....
Are you a permanent resident of CA and/or do you have a license/permit to carry a gun from anywhere. I only ask because Indiana will honor out of state carry licenses but Indiana won't let you carry without a license like some states do with open carry. (I think some states still do this)
And I ask because nobody else did.
If you don't then please ignore most of what was just said above.
BTW- Is there even a "FORT" in Fort Wayne? If not, why would you name a city after a Fort if there never was one?
Yes, I am a permanent resident of California. I have a permit from CA, AZ, FL and NH. Based on the CCW app, I'm covered in 36 states.
Cool. Now how the hell did you get a CA permit?
I know the courts have been going back and forth but I lived there for a long time and the only people that got permits were "friends" of the judge or they had their life threatened in a court in front of a judge. Or something this extreme.

Unless you're from a handful of counties in CA, most sheriffs are shall-issue. San Francisco, Santa Clara (Silicon Valley), Los Angeles, San Diego, etc are full of libtards. San Diego's sheriff, Bill Gore from the Ruby Ridge incident, was very anti-2A. He recently changed his stance and is now issuing permits. I think he issued about 1500 so far. He was also the defendant in Peruta v. San Diego regarding CCW that went to the 9th Circuit. We, initially, won the case but an en banc panel reheard the case and upheld the lower court's ruling.
Thank You!
That's great that they are "Kindof" issuing there. That state is still dead to me.
Oh... and Bill Gore is a dick.
Sure is. I can see part of the fort from my office. Named after General Mad Anthony Wayne who served in the Revolutionary War and then some Indiana conflicts thereafter.
So ryanprivate, any cute bridesmaids at this wedding?
If you happen to see one of the rare "no guns" sign at a business (like the mall or movie theaters), just chuckle and keep on walking in.
