I live in Crown Point, but I've never run into a Crown Point LEO while carrying. I DID run into a Lake County deputy at the Walgreens on Main and Summit and he insisted that I couldn't open carry and get this, couldn't carry with a round in the chamber. He never really pressed either issue after I told him he was incorrect, just looked at my LTCH and left.

I OC all the time, but that was my only negative interaction. OH, I did have a clerk at the gun counter at Gander Mountain by the mall tell me that Indiana was a concealed-carry only state, but I didn't feel like arguing at the time.

I OC all around Crown Point. I've only had one interaction, at Wallgreens, the clerk said "Nice, is that a Sig?" I said "Yeah a P226." He said "sweet, that's what I'm getting next. Have a nice day." Me"You too, take care." At which point I've left

I just started wearing OWB holster for my 1911, but most of the time I have my shirt untucked. I've OC'd at main street cafe with a couple of regular clothed coppers there. Not a word was said to me.

It is 100% legal so what are you worried about? Just do it!

I OC all over Merrillville, CP, Schereville, Hobart, etc. no issues besides 5/3 bank manager insisting it was illegal cause his bank was a federal instition. I laughed in his face and said alrighty then bud.

Do we get double points for OCing WHILE wearing one of the shirts?

Yes. Who cares what they think? It's not illegal and it is within your rights to do so.

Thanks for the feedback. Does anyone else have any experiences they could share?

.....and get this, couldn't carry with a round in the chamber......

There is a surprising number of police department, whose department attorneys have advised their officers exactly this.

I don't OC generally, but I cc pretty sloppily, I carry a 3" 1911 owb most of the time with an untucked shirt, Most ppl wouldn't have a clue what the lump under my shirt is unless they carry too, it shows pretty bad sometimes when I'm sitting but I don't care, never had anyone "call me out" tho

I open carry alot in northern lake and porter cos. My only issue was the fella who simply asked if I had a "CCW" at Bass Pro in Portage, which I corrected him.

Portage is the only town that really concerns me when it comes to OC.
