Just joined this sight. wealth of knowleadge! Did my 1st real open carry in ft Wayne on sat. Went to a Hallmark, gas station, and Burger King. No problems at all. Few women saw it but make no fuss.

Last year I was going to work, EMS, and stopped at McD's. didn't want to put my gun in my pocket so I put it in the radio holster of my duty belt. A out of state couple was next to me and heard her whisper to him. He then said, "I thought you were EMS?" I am. That was it. :)

I carry a Bersa Thunder .380. 15 round clips.

Hey there-

Hi hogeater-

Good to hear someone is OCing in Ft. Wayne.

I've read on the INGO site that Ft. Wayne can be a problem now and then.

I'm live in the Indianapolis area and have yet to have a negative OC experience. Lots of guys do around here so it's common. (although I never see anyone else!)

Be safe!
