And I provided you the Indiana code. In fact I spoke with the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor's Office today. And guess what I am right. In fact they are pretty stumped how they are supposed to prosecute gun crimes thanks to the Indiana law makers not realizing what a mess this would cause.

Worst part is he appears to be right.
Yeah I know, but I had no idea there was no Indiana Law prohibiting someone from owning a firearm. Man my foot sure does taste bad, thank God for that federal law or we would really look stupidHe went way past that though. He claimed that a felon can carry "without any kind of permit on their person". Then claimed that local lawmakers told him personally they can't prosecute gun crimes now because of the Tomes Bills, but then yet again, acknowledged the changed were made in 2002 before the Tomes bills..
Does the zoo have cameras?
I wish I could go.
Guy,
As I said in my PM, REP INBOUND..... after I spread some around..... Your first in line to get REP...... SOMEONE PLEASE REP TFT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!!
He isn't taking on this for just his client, he is doing this for every INGOs (not just members of this site) and should be recognized for his efforts........ Again thank you Guy for what your doing for all of us.
The point that I think a lot of us are trying to make is that the open carry thing in Indiana is so new that most people aren't aware of it. It isn't new in the sense that we just got the right but in the sense that so few people do it yet that there isn't a lot of exposure. I've never seen an OCerier here. What happens when people aren't exposed to it gradually but all of a sudden come upon a group of OC people basically strutting their stuff. We have the right but if you stick it in people's noses the way that some are suggesting we WILL lose it. Things are slowly going our way with our new gun-friendly laws. Let's keep building slowly and bring the public along.What disturbs me most of all with a bunch of the anti gunners and some of the people who claim to be gunners is that they say yeah you have the right but do not do it. So I have the right but I should not use it. How would that go over with any other right. IE I know you are muslim and want to wear the garb but do not do it cause that right might be taken away. Yes you can carry a gun but if you do then it may be taken away. Does anyone see the irony here. It is disturbing. People were supposedly disturbed at the gun so he does not have the right anymore. I am disturbed by liberal speech now can I complain to the police and will they come tell them to shut up and when they do not will they throw them out and charge them with disorderly conduct if enough people are "disturbed"

Like I said I fully support and agree with what TF did, He lived his daily life and in thatvwas wronged. The Open Carry day at the zoo is taking a great thing one step too far. What good can come from this? We have already won in the state house now you want to in mass flaunt something known to alarm people. I would hope that we try and work into this gracefully and educate people in thenatural course and not try and ram it down thier throats.
