Welcome to INGO - Things You Should Know

[Pami]

I don't know if any of you have noticed, but in the last couple of months, we've had a few hundred new members sign up. So, some of the things that are old jokes common among the friendships we have built here may look a little strange to the newcomers. On the rare occasion, those newcomers may actually take offense to the old jokes that sometimes come up.

So I had this Great Idea! Let's make a list of all the inside jokes that a new member might see that might seem a little strange at first. I'll start!

1) We really like bacon. Yes, really. It gets mentioned frequently and has a disturbing habit of derailing even the most serious threads.

2) Pami is addicted to the color pink. It can't be helped, and the affliction haunts her continuously.

3) In the handgun world, SIGs are better than Glocks (SIG >> Glock), and both are definitely better than everything else. *runs and hides*

What else?

You know, they're inside jokes for a reason! You have to earn that knowledge!


You'll need to read every post in this thread.

Well then don't give an explanation.
Just a "if you see this... ignore it. It's an inside joke."

Crystalship1 thinks that Glocks are ugly and XDs are "da bomb". ..... But not to be confused with the whole "Glock ka-bomb" thing !!!!

Kirk Freeman is ABSOLUTELY NOT BRITISH. Just ask him. He'll swear that he's not, and if you can't trust a Brit, who can you trust?

You can still remain an INGO member after you lose all your guns in a tragic boating accident..

Ok, not an inside joke, but every new member is required to read the following thread and drool appropriately: https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...fa_day_recap_pictures_videos_reviews_etc.html

Oops, forgot the inside joke;
W9ZEB really exists.

I have thought a similar idea would be great for things like

"Can I get a lifetime even though my 4 year LTCH is 1 year old"
"Can I carry to ____ w/o a LTCH"
"Can I carry to ____ with a LTCH"
"Is it legal to carry with a loaded chamber"
"How many guns can I buy/carry/transport at one time"
"I am over 18 but under 21, can I carry"
"Can I carry a rifle"
"Can I carry a loaded rifle"
"Can I OC"


I know that could quickly turn into an online version of Indiana Handgun Law, and of course much of it is open to debate, which is the great part of this site. With the influx of new members we see these type of questions popping up again. Of course they are necessary, and its good that people find out, but it seems like a sticky could address these things once and for all. Plus, I think that many folks may inadvertently break the law because they are unwilling to ask a "dumb" question, or worse yet, rely on info they got from their hunting buddy's ex wife's cousin who dated this guy who is a cop in Missouri.

So yea, its a great idea. I just haven't brought it up because I am not yet willing to volunteer to do it.

Nope, I have more! Quit trying to be like me!

Lars exists? WOW that I didn't know!

That there is the kicker, isn't it? I've thought about it, too. To keep the original thread on track, I'll start a new one.

It's a little known fact. I've been known to catch a glimpse of him from time to time.

 

[Lars]

W9ZEB really exists.

Do Not!

 

[Pami]

^^ See!! A rare sighting!

Hmmm, I call shanigans!!!! Pami signed in as Lars just to prove that he was still around. You know Pami that it will not hold up in a court of law.

Hello?

Bueller? Anyone?


Ah hell, even if they do threaten to ban you, they can be bribed with bacon.

Usually.

ATM owes Scutter half a wild boar at present.

Or half a ManBearPig, depending on which he can get first.
