Went walking with the wife and baby boy yesterday through Wesselman's Woods in Evansville. I was OCing my Kimber and my wife was OCing her Kel Tec.
We were about halfway through the park when a cop stopped beside me, coming from in front of me, and says,
"I'm sure you have a permit, but I just want to make sure so that if someone calls I can say I already checked it out and avoid an officer coming out here, may I see your permit?"
"Yes you may." (pulled out my wallet, held up my license-it never left my hand and he never got out of the vehicle)
"Very good, you guys have fun."
And that was it. Guys we are making progress! I know for a fact that I have been involved in educating civilians and officers about OC and carrying in general. As it stands, I have no problem with an officer politely asking to see my LTCH. I would wish in the future that we don't need a license to exercise our rights but for now this is a step in the right direction.
