this past labor day I wen't to the parade in Lowell,IN. I was OCing as always, my wife was in the parade and I was there with my mother and brother in-law and his wife.there were people all around us and kids running into the street to get candy,I even went into the street to get some myself.I was talking to some of the people around us and no one noticed or cared that i was carrying as no one mentioned it.about a week later my brother in-law showed me the post tribune paper and in there quickly colume there was an artical about "the grown man with a gun at the parade" it wen't on to say that I was intiminating the children at the parade and that I should just leave my gun at home.from where I was sitting I didn't notice anyone that looked antiminated and no one said anything to me.I think that the only person intiminated was the person that wrote the artical.I replyed back to the quickly colume that if people were better informed about guns they would know that guns alone don't hurt people,and that it is leagle and my right to carry a gun, surprize surprize my artical has not been posted as of yet and most likely never will.:banghead:
also last weekend my wife and I wen't to a car/craft show on the streets of Wheetfeild,IN I noticed the county LEO,s walking around and thought nothing of it,about an hour later I was approched by a LEO he stated that he had some reports of AMWAG he asked to see my LTCH and I showed it to him he was very polite and professional about it and just said to hav a nice day , so I offered to untuck my shirt and conceal it he said that I didn't need to but thathe would appreciate that so he would stop getting the MWAG calls, I did and we walked around for a while longer and left.nice to know that the jasper co.police know the laws.:lol:
