“These boys are screwing up.”

Concealed carry means just that in some places.

Here in Indiana, allowing someone to see that you are carrying can be considered “brandishing” a weapon, and can get you in trouble.

That's what I mean by "menacing." But I fail to see how not wearing a coat or jacket over your holster means you're "brandishing" the weapon.

The Second Amendment says nothing about the right beign subject to conceal the arms in questions. In many states, you need a permit to carry concealed, but no permit to carry openly.

Permit for concealed not necessary when not concealed. If open carry is not illegal it is legal by default. Brandishing "usually" requires displaying in a "threatening manner". While it may be that the government in Indiana will harass someone, it is not necessarily illegal. Of course, I have not checked Indiana law, but am just addressing open and concealed carry concepts in general.

EEDUDE,

Concealed carry means the same thing all over. These gents are practicing what is called “open carry”. There are some places in this country where the state has not thrown out the 2nd.
