I've got a DPMS Oracle 5.56 / .223. This is a standard AR-15. No bells or whistles. I purchased this from Plainfield Shooting Supply two years ago. I've taken it out to the range less than a dozen times. Never shot more than two boxes of ammo at any one outing. Not entirely sure the round...
I have a nice Beretta 92FS that needs a good home. It comes with the following:
Original box and plastic case
Original 15 round magazines (x2)
Surplus 15 round magazine
Original lock
Original manuals and paperwork
Original cleaning kit
Blackhawk Serpa Concealment Holster comes with both paddle...
My Boy Scout Troop is supposed to go to Bloomington this weekend (Nov 7-9) and shoot shotguns and rifles on Saturday, November 8.
We need someone to volunteer to be either the RSO or a NRA Rifle/Shotgun Instructor. We plan to shoot shotguns in the morning 8:30-12:00. We then plan to break for...
I am looking for volunteers to help for a few hours at a Pinewood Derby.
It is being held on Sunday, April 27th at the Indiana Convention Center. The NRA is trying to promote Scouting in general. Our local council is also going to promote Scouting locally. I am tasked with organizing and...
Saw this post this morning. Not surprised, just a little view of things in other countries. If we're not careful, possibly in ours.

A Policeman came to my house this morning. He told my wife about neighborhood cars being opened by a suspect. The Officer saw tracks on our property. He asked my wife to check things out and see if anything was missing. She didn't find anything out of place. I came home at lunch and found...
Guns used to be forbidden in the house, mostly due to my wife’s fear of them. I decided several years ago to go about changing that. Long story short, both she and I have been to multiple classes and BOTH carry daily.
She routinely works very late hours. Wednesday night was no exception. It...
Here is a silly question but real.
My gun cabinet is in my walk in closet which opens into our master bath. When we take showers, the bathroom steams up a little (the ventilation is pretty good). I'm sure some of the moisture is ending up in my closet, and thus around the cabinet. It is...
I was out last Saturday shooting my GP-100 .357 and noticed (actually the RSO at Eagle Creek Pistol Range pointed out) that some of my spent brass was split.
I was using a box of Remington UMC 125 gr JSP
Gun was Ruger GP-100 4"

I was able to attend an IDPA match at Hamilton County Fish and Game over the weekend. What fun event with great people.
I am not a member of the IDPA (not yet anyway...) but was allowed to shoot all the same. New shooters were welcomed and instructions were given for us newbies. Some of...
On Labor Day, I took the opportunity to take two of my kids to Wilbur Wright to shoot. It was a GREAT time. We started by taking turns with my new Maverick 88 on the shotgun range. My son out shot my daughter and myself. I was very proud.
We then moved over to the 25 yard range. We shot...
My wife called today to tell me my little pink paper from the Indiana State Police was in the mail today!!! Got home this evening and there it was in all its glory. (que light from above and some sort of harp sound)
Made application on February 10
Called Carmel Police to set appointment on...
I read an article this morning in the Indianapolis Business Journal. An editorial by Greg Morris was an interesting read. Thought I would share it.
MORRIS: Second Amendment rights under attack | 2012-03-24 | Indianapolis Business Journal | IBJ.com
Not much new to users here but I thought...
I just met with the Carmel Chief of Police for the last step in my LTCH process. I was nervous. I wasn't sure what to expect. I had been waiting since very early February to have my meeting with the Chief.
In the back of my mind this would be an attempt to talk me out of doing this since I...
Last week, I posted a request for tips on how to best prepare for a first time trip to the 1500. Thanks to the GREAT comments, I had a productive and enjoyable trip. It also helped that I had a personal guide for part of the show.
Some tips that made the biggest impact.
1. Do your...
I am a relatively new gun owner. One thing many veteran owners might not appreciate is how intimidating it can be to go into a gun store.
Here are some issues I had and many other people may have.
1. I didn't feel comfortable just walking into one. Didn't know what etiquette was inside...
Ok, so I want to go to the Indy 1500 here in a few weeks. I have never been to it before. I would appreciate any tips on attending and/or buying at the show. My schedule will only let me attend on Friday at this point.
Thanks
I had the joy, and the honor, to take 3 adults, and 9 youth members of Venture Crew 125 to the Atlanta Conservation Club Sunday, March 4th. Thanks to Jeff Brown, who conducted an NRA First Steps Pistol course, 10 of the 12 participants who never fired a handgun before, learned basic safety and...
If this is the wrong area I'm sorry.
I am at a high school speech competition. A topic presented to the students for discussion was how, if at all, should the internet be censored for inappropriate content.
I am sorry to say that these kids had little to no discussion as to if it...
I have received an education in the last few weeks. I was one of the masses, a “sheep”, if you will. I didn’t really understand what kind of attack the Constitution, not to mention the 2nd Amendment, was under these days. A friend, coworker, and long time member of this site, tried to tell...
