      Is state fair off limits?

      Looks like he forgot "Concealed is concealed." I usually don't carry at the Fairgrounds during the Fair -- the population density is so high (and includes so many LEOs) that realistically, all you'd need to do is raise a hue and cry. (I am careful to avoid quiet cul-de-sacs, but I do that even...

      Someone doesn't read the law for the State Fair

      So, was the crew of the Enola Gay insane? You can own hand grenades, IIRC, but there's a flippin' $200 Federal tax (and mucho paperwork) on each one. The law doesn't address your purpose. Plastic explosives? I'm pretty sure you can do that, but (once again) there are a lot of forms...

      No Guns At The Indy Hamfest?

      PS: I did see several Airsoft guns, plus some DVDs or videotapes on Glock repair. (IMO, you can't fix what's wrong with Glocks -- J/K!)

      Gun range coming to Carmel?

      I just hope they are able to shepherd this through. We need a decent range on the North side!

      Verdict Reached in Zimmerman Trial

      Better check with the tribe first. Most recognized tribes have rules about that sort of thing; my own thin claim to Cherokee ancestry was recently mooted, as my ancestor's ancestors were owned by tribe members and that no longer counts. Remember, a tribe's a kind of political subdivision...

      No Guns At The Indy Hamfest?

      I'm always surprised none of the food vendors at hamfests do a bacon-themed thing. ...The Indy Hamfest did have some excellent pork barbecue at the fairgrounds cafeteria, though! Back on-topic, there's permanent gun-ban signage at the Marion County Fairgrounds. Looks like the Fair is run...

      That Major Caudill, he's a sharp guy!

      Black expo + Zimmermann being set free = riots in Indy?

      Kirk, the Ten Point Coalition plans to be there in force -- basically, a church-organized bunch of actual adults who ride herd on the "troubled youths" in a parental kind of way.

      No Guns At The Indy Hamfest?

      I'm not sure how many INGO members are amateur radio operators -- there's a degree of crossover between hams and gunnies, and a lot of preppers have ham tickets these days. I've encountered reloadting gear and shooting rests at various little hamfests, and even (smallish) blackpowder cannon at...

      I think Abraham Lincoln said it best

      Lincoln held some seriously racist views. He appears to have found breakaway States a lot more horrible than slavery, too. (Someone else can cite quotes.) Most slave-holding countries managed to end the practice without fighting a war over it; in the U. S. Civil War, there were a lot of...

      Anti-Gunners Rallying In Broad Ripple, 14 June

      It looks like a few of the "Organizing For Action" anti-gunners will be in Broad Ripple this coming Friday, 14 June, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., at the intersection of Westfield and Riveria (where the Monon Trail crosses Westfield Blvd.). Gee, it sure seems like a good time/place for...

      Why are gun shop employees/owners predominately dicks?

      That guy (most often a guy) on the other side of the counter is probably a hobbyist just like you. It's not a high-paying job; he's likely there 'cos he likes guns. He's probably not a universal expert. He's probably seen and handled more guns than most folks, which helps, but he's no...

      Women in combat - Is it worth the effort?

      I'd still kind of like to send the politicians in FIRST, then the men and women. --But it's a volunteer force; if women want to be in combat and can pass the *same* tests as men, send 'em in. The .mil is short on personnel anyway. But I don't think it's practical to have different...

      Background checks as main focus?

      Only the transfer of new MGs to private citizens is "banned" and that's guns made since 1986. If you want to own a fully-automatic weapon, all you need is to find one for $$$ale, have a wheelbarrow full of money to buy it, plus all the ATF registration/background check paperwork, a $200 tax...

      Background checks as main focus?

      Nope. If your gun ever moved in interstate commerce -- or if it could affect it in any way (you selling your gun to someone means he won't buy a new one made in MA or MD, for example) -- then under Wickard v. Filburn, the Feds have a stake via the Commerce Clause. Isn't that special...

      A rather long letter to Donley, feel free to use any part, debunks Feinsein myth

      Could this be the last of the 1500 gun shows

      I'll be loathed (more than usual) for this, but how much do plastic barrels and sand even cost? Can't ...persons unknown... just, er, "donate" a sand barrel on a kind of guerrilla basis? Show up in a pickup truck with a barrel and bags of sand, kick it out, fill it up and drive away?

      Could this be the last of the 1500 gun shows

      ...Because what we need to make us safer is more laws? The building is posted; if they see you are carrying a loaded gun, ask you leave and you refuse, it is trespassing, which I'm pretty sure is a _______________ in Indiana law. Fill in the blank. (Hint: misdemeanor)

      Consequences of going full yeager

      How many ND's this year?

      About the time it was figured out that they rarely go off unless someone's booger hook is on the bang switch. Don't pick up a gun without checking it -- and even once you have checked it, follow the Four Rules. Real gunnies won't be offended.
