Hi everyone. After about4 hours of reading interesting discussion on this site today i decided to join. I couldn't join without making a post right? Just wanted to add somethingabout the ignorance (not meant in an insulting manner)of some people. I was at Gander Mountain which is a sporting good store. It was at a location here in the Indianapolis area. I was in the firearms department and looking at firearms ready to buy my new Springfield Armory XD compact 9mm. I had my Glock 23 (.40 for all you non-glock people out there) in my holster on my waist. The man that came up to the counter asked me if I had any former shooting or carrying experience. I Pointed out the fact that I had my glock 23 that I was carrying concealed but obviously put into plain view when he asked. Never removed the weapon from the holster...didn't even touch the weapon or holster in any way. After asking me if i was properly licensed to carry, he said that I had better keep that gun concealed at all times, unless planning on using it, if I wanted to keep my ass put of jail. I told him that there was no law against OC in Indiana and he told me that I was wrong. I politely told him that he may want to check into it and that he had just blew a sale because if I was going to buy a firearm I wanted to buy it from someone who knew something about them and maybe at least a little something about the laws surrounding them. I left went to a local gun store and spent $40 more for the gun just because of the pure principle of the situation.
