Also what drivers license do you carry? Indiana will not recognize your FLA CCW if you are a resident of Indiana. I would think you'd be a resident of FLA for tax purposes, but I figured I'd better mention that anyway.
Open carry makes you the subject of everybody's attention. Somebody will call the police, they'll have no choice but to respond, and they have better things to do than come and find out you are legit.
As for OC vs CC, just stating an opinion. As a guy who has had to respond to legitimate OCers several times over my career, I prefer nobody know I'm carrying. But thanks for straightening me out......... buddy!
Just don't be surprised if they are called and aren't ecstatic about your exercising of your rights causing them to have to waste their time on you.
Police can't wait until someone violates a law to enforce the law? I have never been pulled over in my car just to see if I had a license. They at least made up some other reason if that was the case. Maybe it was because nobody called dispatch yelling MAN WITH CAR. Don't they know cars are way more dangerous? I don't get it
Are you guys really telling me you'd rather have the police ignore a call about a guy carrying a gun and just hope he's OK?
YES!
In Arizona, Alaska, Vermont (it's protocol) if you call 9-1-1 and report a man with a gun, they WILL ask "what is he/she doing". if you tell them just walking around they WILL tell you that is legal and to not to call back unless they see someone doing something illegal with a gun, like threatening someone with it.
Dispatchers should treat a man with a holstered gun call no differently than a man with a latte call. Tell the caller coffee is legal in Indiana and to go back to ILLannoyed
