Just received this from the Chief!
Sam,
While I do appreciate a good roast every now and then, I recently read where you forwarded questions to the Pendleton Town Council and me saying that I did not respond. I believe I responded and conceded my mistake in believing that Indiana was a “Conceal Only” State during our last email conversation. I never got anything further from you to make me believe that you did not believe me or that you misunderstood my intentions of agreeing with you on the OC topic. You forwarding me the link for review was very beneficial. As I told (Dracconix) Joshua that night, I have always been told that Indiana was a conceal State and without him being able to prove otherwise, that was my belief, and consensus of the Officers at the scene of our conversation. In fact, you have made me somewhat of an advocate in educating other LEO’s reference the “Silent Stance” the State takes on the topic.
Again thanks for the information, I learned something,
Chief Marc Farrer
I will respond to Marc's email in stating that he did not answer where the requested information could be found at in reference to his mentioned MWG (Man with a Gun) calls or where I could find details of the on going process of making Pendleton's a gun free zone areas.
Other wise I appreciate his response, acknowledgment and input. It is greatly appreciated.
Do good guys tell a man he is wearing his d*ck on his hip and otherwise insult a man for lawfully exercising his rights?I don't know the chief there but I am certain he is a good guy.

Use common sense and carry concealed. Had you been doing so there would have been no conversation between you two. Just because it is legal does not mean you should do it. It's legal to go hang out at gay bars but I'm not to interested.
...if he did as you suggest then the chief never would have been informed.

Just remember, if you're a cop and you don't know the law, you aren't punished. If you're an every day Joe and you don't know the law, you're punished for it. Sometime try "I didn't know, officer!" next time you run into the fuzz.
You my friend could not be more wrong!!
Jeez man let it go. No one is perfect. Cops are cops,not lawyers. While cops need a good working knowledge of our laws,no one knows them all inside and out. Most of our laws are common sense laws. Using common sense as a general guide is typically pretty accurate. It is not like you was thrown in jail of something.
One thing to keep in mind,stuff like this can cause changes to be made. Use common sense and carry concealed. Had you been doing so there would have been no conversation between you two. Just because it is legal does not mean you should do it. It's legal to go hang out at gay bars but I'm not to interested.

How so ? My not knowing the speed limit changed from 65 to 50 got me my very own $ 150 ticket .

Ditto on that.You had me up to this point. Note the blue reference, if he did as you suggest then the chief never would have been informed. His common sense shouldn't be judged by his choice of carry.
Why the insult? I am a security guard/officer who has tons of training. more than most police. we got our traing all through blackcreek is sc We are the first line of defense for a shooter at our stores With my training a shooter is as good as gone at up to 100 yards since we got our new 158 grn. bullets Don't mess with our place We kick people out of our place if u show a gun do it all the time. our owner is fixing to let us carry our guns when we are working and even take them home. cant wait
What security company do you work for and at which mall??
?? It wasn't the OP that "mis-understood" the law; it was the police. I doubt that the OP or any of us would have complied with the request anyway. The only time I have been asked to cover my handgun, I simply left the store where the manager and security guy asked me to cover it.I'm sure that had he asked you nicely to untuck you would have complied instead of "mis-understanding" the law things would have been different. Everyone needs to think and respect more.
