ive lived on the boarder for years and in cedar lake for a year now and have yet to see an oc. i did it outside doing yard work. First i ever open carried. if i get my kimbers rear safty working again i just might do it more often.
I've never seen it in cedar lake, but once in gary and once in merrillville
I live in Cedar Lake and I don't CC, unless I'm wearing a coat. I OC at Zips, Harryo's, BP, Cedar Lake Kitchen, County Market, while I'm doing yard work, etc. OC pretty much all the time unless traveling to or from work (work in IL). But got my license about a year and a half ago, and been OC'ing since then.
Although I normally just cary a little snubbie with me. It might be time to start OC'ing the Sig.
In the 17 years i've lived in NWI, I've only twice seen an open carrier that wasn't a police officer. It truly is concealed or nothing in this area (st. john, schererville, highland, crown point)
