do you need a permit to open carry

Indiana has a License To Carry Handgun. Also called a LTCH, little pink permission slip, Larry, and a few others.
But, it does not differentiate between Open or Concealed.
You can do either.
Indiana Code makes no mention of either.
Look at the Indiana State Police website FAQs and they will also say either is legal.

do you need a permit to open carry

Yes you have to have a LTCH to carry handgun open in public. You don't need a LTCH to open carry on your property or someone's property with their permission. Welcome to INGO from NWI. Hope that helps.

do you need a permit to open carry

Not in my state (Wisconsin).

Most states do not prohibit unlicensed open carry of handguns.

Indiana has long been one of the more restrictive minority of states in that regard.

Why eliminate the element of surprise when the time comes to use it? granted it would be nice not to worry about concealing it, but you have to think why you're carrying it in the first place...

I suppose your points would be enlightening if I had criminal intent or just desired to shoot people, but I'm not trying to sneak up on anyone or hide my intentions.

Someone obviously has not read through the thread, let alone the very FIRST post.

But shouldn't we exercise some common sense in carrying firearms? Here are some simple measures to improve gun safety.

1. Don't carry with a bullet in the chamber. That prevents accidents from happening. In fact, I don't even load up my magazine clip all the way.

2. Use only guns with safety. I think it's very irresponsible of gun manufacturers like Glock to make assault pistols without a safety.

3. Don't open carry. Open carrying is perhaps the biggest sign of gun UNsafety. 100% of all gun accidents and shootings happen while someone is open carrying somewhere.

I could be wrong, but I think the purple was implied.

No way. Bingley never uses sarcasm.

Another one comes along to save us from ourselves. Where was he a couple thousand posts ago. This has all been so unnecessary.
