This was discussed a little in another thread, but I'd like to see a little more input on it. Indiana is an open carry state, but in the states website in the Q&A section on guns this is said about open vs concealed carry:
The part I'm asking about is 'Indiana law is silent on this issue, however, carrying an exposed firearm in public may be alarming to some people and create unwanted attention to yourself'
To me, this seems a roundabout way of suggesting I conceal, even tho I can openly carry. Do other open carry states have similar answers in their state Q&A websites or elsewhere, or is Indiana unique in this ?
Does Indiana law require me to carry my handgun on my person in a concealed or exposed manner?
Indiana law is silent on this issue; however, carrying an exposed firearm in public may be alarming to some people and create unnecessary and unwanted attention to yourself. Your right to carry a firearm may also be restricted on private property, various sporting venues, and some businesses by the owners.
