Don't cop out. He replied in a manner you were asking to see, regardless of if he was or was not a cop. Give him some credit.
Oh, alright! Credit given.

Have we asked where this fair was? Was it on the property of the town hall or school perhaps? I doubt it but I haven't seen anyone ask so I will.
...the fair is held at Falls Park a public park in Pendleton.
Hum... this is the 2nd thread of LEOs pushing their agenda on OC.
Perhaps we can come up with a 1 page flyer that states the actual indiana law that allows OC/CC and phone numbers to the IN state police that we can carry and give to the LEO when they attempt to push their weight around.
If the LEO wont take it at least have a place on the flyer where you (the reader) can take down personal info about the event
- LEO name or badge number
- department
- date
so that you can then file a formal complaint about this and have some type of proof and notes on your incident
The law is silent. Be careful about thinking you can show them where it is "allowed" in any law. Again, ask them to cite the code where open or concealed is even mentioned. Ask them to find it on your license. Leave the burden on them. They only think they know something. They can't support it.

I've run into some real characters in stores. I was buying a couple of the few remaining boxes of Blazer Brass .40 the other night ($12.97 a box....F the price gougers, yeah! ) at the local Wally World, and was approached by the security guard. He asked me if I would like to buy an XD 45 for $450. I told him that I wasn't interested. (People actually carry those things?) I got to talking with him, and he said that he used to carry the XD in the Marines. He proceeded to inform me that the Marines had switched to the XD 45, unlike the Army, which is still using the Glock 9mm. He also asked me about how to legally sell his pistol, since it is registered to him.
Carrying is illegal only in parks (or any other city owned property) that the city has adopted an ordinance against. Each city can be different.I was going to point out I asked on page 6 but I was beat to it .
Is carring Illegal in all IN public parks or just Indpls city parks ?
Wow, that's helpful.
Of all the OC chest-thumpers on this board, I've yet to see anyone post a story about how a cop told them to cover up, and they refused to do so. I see a lot of anonymous ranting on a message board. Lots of good that will do. When someone tells the cop "no thanks" when told to cover their pistol, and walks off, then I'll be impressed with your committment to your rights. Otherwise, it's all just pissing in the wind.
I can't imagine any LEO, upon approaching an armed citizen, is going to allow them to reach into their pocket and pull something out without being given specific instructions. You think you're going to get your phone or pocket recorder out during that confrontation?
If I'm not being detained or arrested, what's it matter what I do?
"Sorry officer, the law does not prohibit me from open carrying my weapons. Thank you for your opinion and have a nice day."
