Welcome to the board - all varied expertise is sought and shared by others.

Welcome. I joined not too long before you did, found this forum useful in figuring out some details on a Marlin 36G I bought at a gunshow. Hope you do too.

BTW, I am from Southern Indiana also (Brown County) originally, altho now I am from South Texas (San Antonio). Welcome Hoosier!

Screw you guys. I was forced to leave Indiana (from Jeffersonville, outside of Lousiville KY) and I miss it terribly (wife was transferred). You guys are only rubbing salt in the wound AND IT STINGS! I hope you guys appreciate what a great state Indiana is. I didn't realize how well we had it in Indiana until I got to Virginia and found they have more stupid laws and firearm BS I must jump through than I ever dreamed possible for what was supposed to be a "free" state (or commonwealth I should say).
1504 days until I return!

Hello there BIG bore.....

Interesting, never ocurred to me that anyone in Indiana shot anything other than basketballs???? :D :confused:

DOK; That goes for KY also. Myself, I couldn't care less about Basketball and I let that slip out one day and I thought they were going to run me out of state on a rail! And they would have too except Kentucky wouldn't take me and Ohio and Illinois were too far and shipping for my size was too much, so they let me stay, but only on probation! And dear God, if you ever mentioned anything bad about Bobby Knight or Denny Crum (even now that they are gone) you were apt to get a poke in the nose! If you go south of the muddy and mention the name Petino, if there are KY fans around you are likely to get spat upon and if there are U of L fans around they will buy you a drink. And only ten years ago that was compeletly bass-ackwards! Sports fans sure are a funny lot...

That goes for me too,I was born and bred in Indiana,and I have never liked basketball,Thank god we have guns to fall back on..

Big Bore seems a might touchy! :)

I did like growing up in Indiana out in the sticks, and yes I am a basketball and a Bobby Knight fan. Spent 22+ years moving around with the Air Force, San Antonio was my last assignment, and San Antonio was the first place the USAF had sent me that I felt like it could be home. So now I are a Texan. :) San Antonio Spurs are NBA champs again, and amazingly enough, the team members seem to be really nice law-abiding guys, not like some teams.

Indiana does have an interesting concealed handgun permit law, tho - they recognize ANY CCW permit from any other state! Cool. Handy when I come back to visit family.

San Antonio, now there is a beautiful town. We went there years ago for a Tae Kwon Do tourny and stayed down on the riverwalk. Stupidly we rented a car only to leave it parked in the garage all week. The public transportation took us everywhere we needed to go, Sea World, the Zoo, and the Alamo was just across the walk and through the hotel. We have always wanted to get back there and Texas is high on our list of places we may retire to if for some reason we don't get back to Indiana.
Good times...

I'm in Indiana and hate basketball, too. I'm from Indianapolis so my main interest is open wheel racing, sprints and midgets mostly.

As conservative as Indianapolis is, it's still full of typical, urban, metropolitan BS. I'm very eager to get out of the city and into the country.

Indiana will be even better once we get on Daylight Savings Time next year! Maybe there will be time to go fishing after work in the summertime

Welcome aboard, Steve!
