A good reminder for all of us that carry...

[STFU]

Tom spells it out pretty clearly in this video:


While I have been provoked several times, I have not stepped over this boundary...yet.

I believe we don't have "brandishing" here in IN (named that), but taking your gun out of your holster in public for any reason other than self defense is gonna get you in legal trouble regardless.

Who among us needed to be reminded to carry? Why are you here?

We have "pointing".
Also, intimidation (with a gun)

If your gun clears leather, don't forget about criminal recklessness.

 

[Trapper Jim]

If you have to make a presentation and any of these incidental laws are still on your mind…… more than likely you are already dead.

I think anyone I would pull on wouldn't want the cops involved.

If mine clears leather, I'm already applying pressure with the booger hook.

Good time to re-visit this.......

When to draw

Despite warnings I often see on the Net I have yet to encounter an instance in which a hold up man called the police to report his intended victim threatened to shoot him. Thugs do not want to come into contact with the police. They may already be wanted or realize chances are good they have been identified in a recent robbery. Or what ever. They are not going to call the police if you draw on them.

Street Robberies and You

After a recent thread here I though it would be a good time to re-visit this. This post is from another message board and the poster is BurnedOutLEO. I wish I knew more about him to give him credit. . He seems to know the streets well enough that I think his advice is solid. While many say...

I think the thing to keep in mind is when it's appropriate to pull your gun. If you're pulling it for self defense, or to protect yourself or someone else from being the victim of a crime, that's appropriate. Threatening someone or trying to end an argument by pulling your gun, or things along those lines are not appropriate and could land you in jail and prevent you from carrying in the future.

I used to be a carpenter, and while I have no official training regarding concealed carry, I approach it like my tool bags-I'm not pulling out a tool unless I have a direct and immediate need for it.

One need not take it out of the holster to get into trouble.

Most of my replies are based either on the title in the screenshot or the 15 sec ad i have to watch to see the video. By then I am already reading the next post.

Indiana code 35-47-4-3



Defines the crime of pointing a firearm. It means that in Indiana, merely pointing a firearm at another person, even if the firearm is never discharged, can be charged as a felony (or a misdemeanor if the firearm is not loaded)

Defensive gun uses are measured in moments. Sometimes drawing is enough to stop the threat. Not always, but good to keep in mind.

I used to have this same mindset of "if I'm drawing I'm shooting", but I've seen too many videos of defensive encounters now where the decision not to shoot was the prudent choice.

If I'm pulling out a firearm, we are into the imminent danger, in essence I'm going to use it.
