Funny thing about today. I carried my gun concealed today in Jeffersonville. The weirdest thing happened after I put it in my holster...it stayed there all day. It didn't magically grow wings and fly out and shoot anyone! I had a great day with my wife and kids and ruined nobody else's. Simply...

Just a clarification. I have no intention on open carrying a long gun. But I do plan to CC a handgun. However, if someone wants to open carry a long gun in support of gun rights, I say more power to them.
I emailed led the Clarksville police chief. This was his response...

Thanks

my reply simply stated this...
i dont need need a permit to open carry.
Now Clarksville is trying their hand in a gun ban. Geez.
