The Open Carry Argument

[cmr13]

Left handed and carries a 1911..... Bold....

First time seeing a picture taken in a mirror?

Oh! fail.... Big time fail.... Im not up on the art of selfies...

Don't feel bad, I'm 22 and I thought "oh he's left handed" when I first saw the picture as well. But I'm not into selfies either.

Sir, you too are among the youth! My socks are older than you are.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

So these to yutes thought he was left handed. I'm old as dinosaur **** and I recognized the mirror effect.

Sheesh.

I deserve a prize.

 

[danielson]

Older means more experienced... I am but a rookie, but Im gaining on you guys...

I think selfies are stupid. Is that a good excuse?

Ding ding ding!!! We have a winner!!!

If someone wants a picture of me that bad, they can take it themselves and risk shattering their own camera instead of mine

I'm old.
I thought a selfie was to masturbate.



Kids...

Well, now that we've established that I am right handed, haha, anyone think I'll get any trouble from the locals around Merrillville/Hobart/Valpo for open carrying? Not that I'll be doing much of that till next year due to the weather, but I just moved from Illinois and this is certainly a whole different world across the state line.

I'm in Merrillville. I haven't run into anything yet.
Keep an eye on the events section. We may have a "Meet & Greet" some time in the winter. You can carry among friends, kinda helps.

Actually there's a couple threads on hobart and a carry rally coming up soon. I'm on my phone, so you'll have to search for it or wait for someone else to post the link.

Literally this weekend, Saturday, my kid's 1st birthday.

I'll have to ask my wife when it starts. Maybe I can get there early. Definitely won't have my permit by then since it's still pending ISP approval, but I'll show up if I can.

Don't need to carry.
You do need to be calm and remember, cameras may be videoing you.

Welcome to America! Don't forget to exercise your rights while you still have them!

Wow! That has to be a big culture shock.

Welcome to the freer State of Indiana. Enjoy!

I'm not camera shy. I was interviewed by a news network in Atlanta last year regarding some GM recalls and I coordinate big events for car clubs regularly.

Wow! That has to be a big culture shock.

It was a shock in more ways than you know, but all were positive.

i can't speak for Hobart and Merrillville, but i've never had any trouble open carrying in Valpo. the most common thing that happens is i get asked if i'm a police officer and one time in Five Guys, the cashier said "sweet strap"

Why is this even debated ? Obviously it'a personal choice. All of us should just support the 2nd amendment and leave choice to the individual. Just saying .
