Well I got to inform a Tippecanoe County sheriff tuesday afternoon about open carry. I stopped by a gas station to get a soda. As I was exiting my vehicle I noticed him walking to the door. He heald the door open for another person and myself which I said thank you. So I go over to the fountain counter to grab a drink and he approached me.
Sheriff (whatever his name was): You need to cover that up.
Me: Say agian.
Sheriff: You need to cover that pistol up.
Me: Why?
Sheriff: Because Indiana is a Conceal Carry state.
Me: Im afraid not. Indiana is not a conceal carry state. We do not have CCW permits. We have License To Carry Handguns and I can carry open or concealled. It does not state one away or another.
I finished filling up my drink and went to pay. I could overhear him talking to another officer about it but I could not understand what they were saying. I paid and left.
Its nice to know that the ones who enforce the laws dont know them.
