I live in Gary, and have also spent time in Hammond and East Chicago. Northern Lake County is probably the least gun friendly part of Indiana, and I would never attempt to OC in any of those places (that's just me, however).
As for you OCing, how do you dress? I'm asking because I'm wondering if the reason you've never been harassed is because people think you're a police detective.
Furthermore, not attempting to play the race card, but what is your race? I'd be willing to bet the rent that you're white. Again, not trying to do any race baiting, but if someone who looks and dresses like me (typical hip hop look, large, oversized t shirts, baggy jeans, but not showing my underwear)and is black is seen walking around with a gun in Gary, Hammond, or East Chicago, no matter how peaceably, he is likely to end up on the ground with aknee on his neck and a gun to his head. The police in all three of these cities have a reputation for treating young Black men (believe me, I have had a couple of run ins with them) roughly for seemingly trivial matters such as walking in alleys or high fiving each other (believing that drugs are being passed). So, even though I don't have an actual documented case oflaw abiding citizensbeing mistreated, these are the reasons you hardly ever see it being done there. Just a fact.
