      Buds Gun Shop mostly Sold Out

      Hi all, Just visited Buds Guns website and it seems like most products are either sold out or marked "only available at retail store." Anyone know what's going on? Been away from forums for a while, are we possibly seeing a firearms shortage because of covid, civil unrest, election fears, etc...

      Conceal carry at convention?

      I cc'd at the convention as I do everywhere I can by law. I visited the SCCY booth and showed them that I was carrying their gun. I met R. Lee Ermey Tom Selleck, and Rob Pinkus, It was a fun convention...oh and a I met Wayne LaPierre too

      .357 Magnum

      I just bought a .357 mag pug brand new from charter arms as a back up. MY main gun is a Glock 22 in .40 but what about a .357 5 shots?

      No charges for Dons Guns employee

      This was such a tragedy. The man that shot the clerk was a college kid , he obviously had a death wish. Thankfully the clerk dispatched the threat. Warning to all. Nobody in their right mind would try to shoot a gun store employee, in most cases you have to assume the gun store employee is...

      THE NO WEAPONS ALLOWED SIGN.

      @Ty Lots, and lots of practice, job training, and real life experience. Before I moved back to Indiana I lived and worked in Washington, DC for a few years. Requirements of my job trained me in methods of concealment and quick target acquisition. I guarantee I would be able to draw my weapon and...

      .357 Magnum

      My daily carry is either a .357 mag snub and/or a 9mm compact...If I had to choose, I'd go wheelgun. In an urban self-defense situation (close quarters, high stress), it is my opinion that a snub 357 revolver will prove both reliable and deadly. I know that I have 5 rounds of 125 gr jhp (plus 2...

      THE NO WEAPONS ALLOWED SIGN.

      Ok Stschil, I get the joshing (hope the comment was made in jest). And Roadie, I get where you come from as well... I am just saying that my personal defense gameplan is based upon covert tactics. I live in "the big city in Indiana" full of BGs and yuppies alike. I have chosen a method of...

      Flight Attendant has a gun in purse. Security officer accidently discharges it.

      Ok first, I doubt she was a terrorist...probably a hard working lady (who as a point of fact, had a PA version of a LTCH, which is stricter than here), she had to navigate the Philly ghetto area to get to work, and she was most likely well dressed and attractive. Honest mistake, gun should have...

      weapons at a casino

      Yes it does seem that the IC specifically pertains to "riverboat casinos." However, since most casinos are private businesses they can regulate weapons. I have always left my weapon locked in my car when I've patronized Hoosier Park. I do not know if they offer a "gun check" option upon entry...

      IU CC Group - Need Info

      It's funny I just saw a report on WRTV news at 11 "Only on 13"talking about weapons on campus. I saw a teaser on the 6 o'clock news and itraised an eyebrow. Maybe a thread should be started to delve into this"hot topic"? Here are some interesting articles...

      THE NO WEAPONS ALLOWED SIGN.

      If you effectively CC do such store polices really matter? The worst case scenario is that your weapon is seen and you are asked to leave (I would never patronize that establishment again). As long as you are a LTCH holder and are not in a restricted area as defined in the IC then all they can...

      Carry in Indy during Super Bowl

      Another question, (and this is posed completely as a joke), do you all feel comfortable carrying while there are Pats/NY fans around? They may a) steal your gun and pawn it. b) report it to a leo with hopes that the leo will confiscate it (so they can mug you later, as they follow you to your...

      Carry in Indy during Super Bowl

      So, if you were considering coming downtown for the festivities (something I am debating even though I am in the midst), would you carry, or leave your gun at home? If you saw a mugging/assault right in front of you would you draw your gun (or pepper spray/other less-lethal)?...or assume...

      Open Carry / Pleasant Attitude

      Well, I don't know if this counts or not but I have done my own experiement. First I walk from my parked car to the 24 hr drug store downtown at about 10pm with my firearm cc. 4/6: "Excuse me sir, I need ..." [usually intoxicated and scary]. Then, I cc'ed but lifted my shirt as if getting my...

      Carry in Indy during Super Bowl

      I know (or at least hope) that state law will not be suspended just because Indianapolis is hosting the Super Bowl in less than 2 weeks but as a LTCH holder and resident of downtown Indy, I wonder how this event will affect daily carrying. Does anyone know details of the increased security? (ie...

      Survived the downtown Indy 4th of July madness

      Hi, Just wanted to say that I was downtown along the canal near the Statehouse to listen to the concerts at the history society and to watch the fireworks from the top of the gov't parking deck. Coming from the top deck of the garage we missed our opportunity to beat the traffic. Anyways, me and...

      Current LTCH Wait

      Of course, in a good holster inside the waistband, kel-tec 9mm which seems to print very little. My first thoughts on carrying is that it gives me a new sense of awareness of my surroundings as I understand the great responsibility that comes with such a right. Unlike one's wallet or a set of...

      Current LTCH Wait

      13.5 weeks Hello all, Just got my LTCH after submitting it 13.5 weeks ago through the IMPD. It is kind of a weird feeling being able to take my handgun with me (almost) anywhere I please. I walked into a CVS near downtown Indy the night I got it, with my weapon concealed in my waist. Walked...

      General June Indy 1500 Discussion

      Really enjoyed the show... Just got back from the show...very cool. Spent about 2 hrs and $160. So much stuff that I just had to have. Got a really good deal on a couple defensive S&W pocketknives (2 for $25) and not too bad a deal on a box of 50 Winchester Ranger 147gr JHP for $34. Most of...

      Non-Licensed Shooter

      We need more firearms "repair"/ shooting ranges in Indiana (esp in Indy) so that those of us who don't have our LTCH yet can legally transport our pistols to a place for "repair" and practice. ...what a ridiculous, swiss-cheese like law.
