I was on Illinois State Police website and came across a PDF on CCLs. Here is a quote from it:
"Out of state residents are granted a limited exception to lawfully carry a concealed
firearm within a vehicle if they are eligible to carry a firearm in public under the laws of their state or...
lol, I talk about police and gun stuff so much there that I bet over half of the front end (cashiers and baggers) knows it's legal to open carry, hence why someone pointed mark1911 out.
Cool! Will do!
Any Northwest Indiana people, was just curious who was at the Strack and Van Til today in Munster (09/07) in the early evening. Only got a glance look but this person was open carrying a silver in color gun with 2 extra magazines and wearing an INGO shirt. Looked to be a middle aged guy. I work...
Recently came upon this video.
link to article: Man pulls gun in self defense during attack in Walmart | News | Pine Bluff News
link to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68x167ISQvg
The article doesn't state much, but from the video, it seems that the man is punching him repeatedly. He...
I double him saying that he implied he had a gun would hold much water. Unless your friend is a LEO, he is only covered under the self defense/forcible felony/castle doctrine laws AFAIK. LEOs, when acting under their official duties, have a different set of laws (example is the pointing...
I brought up a similar topic before, in the sense that someone felt that their life was endangered, and you pulled your firearm and they immediately gave up, what would you say/do? Holster your firearm? Tell them not to move? citizen arrest?
Based on a case law I have seen in the past, just...
I just started riding this last season, but here is my :twocents:.
You need to be much more aware of your surroundings. You are almost, if not more, vulnerable as if you were walking, since all of your body is exposed to the environment (and others). And you can't necessarily escape as...
Didn't read all the pages but there actually is a law about aiding a police officer.
IC 35-44.1-3-3
Refusal to aid an officer
Sec. 3. A person who, when ordered by a law enforcement officer to assist the officer in the execution of the officer's duties, knowingly or intentionally, and...
Believe me, I wouldn't either. I will give them the story of what happened and that is it.
The whole point of the IC is to prepare yourself beforehand and use it in your judgement call if you ever have to implement deadly force. It may also come in handy if you actually do get charged with...
Right, I cannot be 100% sure if Indiana has the case law that pointing a loaded firearm at someone is deadly or reasonable force, though it was stated somewhere that it was.
Right, but the question is, the initial reason. if I pull a gun on someone with a knife and have ample room between him...
I don't want to state where I work, but lets just say I work with the public. I'm in that area, and I may have seen you before lol. What do you carry and what type/color holster? I OC and CC (CC as in shirt/coat over a OWB holster), just depends on what I feel like. I rarely see OC up here.
Yes, I know this has been discussed before, I have read through multiple threads and I seem to have a good understanding of it. But was curious on some things and wondering how people (and lawyers) on here interpret them, specifically the IC.
So the two specific conditions. Drawing your...
You know, you can try to ease into it. Go to a store where you frequent, where they know your face well. If you don't frequent anywhere, open carry where it is "common", such as Bass Pro or Cabelas or any gun/outdoors store. At first, you can bring a friend with you as well, to make it more...
Nothing is wrong with you, I was nervous when I first tried it. It is weird at first. I change it up, sometimes I CC, sometimes I OC, just depends. I always have an OWB holster though, so CC is just covered with a jacket or shirt.
So far, I OC'd at Pizza Hut, Jewel, Arby's, maybe one other...
Very well written. Almost any persuasive/argument/informative paper I have written in High school or college has been about anti-gun control. Always got positive feedback from the class and a great grade on the paper!
Good for her!
