New gun store in Gas City.

[Bung]

On the main drag of Gas City there is a sign for 'In Laws and Outlaws' gun shop. I stopped in and it was a well-lit and clean place. The guy I talked to was patient and answered all the questions I had. They also sell zombie targets, even ones that bleed, and have some life-size bleeding zombie dummies on the way.

I told him about INGO and urged him to sign up and maybe be a site sponsor and he said he would look into it. He also has a petition going to open a range in the area and talked about renting guns and the more alternatives we can get to Don's the better.

They have gunsmith services there and I'll be taking my gun by later to have them site in my laser.

Was up that way a couple of weeks ago seen the sign but wasn't open. Will make it a point to check them out.

 

[redlegrod]

I live in the area so I will have to check it out. Thanks for the info!

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Address and hours?? Come on, guys. Help a brother out!!!

 

[Sean]

Hows the gun selection?

 

[Bung]

address is 777 East Main Street, I know, lucky them. The store is a decent size and they have some selection but they just opened so I expect they'll have more selection as time goes on.

I don't know the hours but they have a Facebook page (hours might be there, haven't checked yet) and the page name is inlawsoutlawsgunshop. There is no phone number on the card so I can't share that with you.

I'm gonna stop in there on the way to my next VA appointment and have my laser sighted in.

I have lived in this state my whole life and my mom's side has been here nigh on 220 years (in the same County no less, apparently our pioneer spirit died at the Falls) and I never knew we had a Gas City....I bet there is a White Castle close by...

 

[cosermann]

How are the prices?

 

[Six Shooter Steve]

I stopped in there the other week. Will probably be a decent shop once he gets up and running. Not much selection, don't think I saw one used gun, and maybe 5 long guns in the whole building counting a cricket 22 and a mosin. He is a cannon safe dealer and has 10 or so in the store.

 

[Six Shooter Steve]

Prices were average at best

Yes, in Marion. It is only a few miles from Gas city however.

I normally frequent McDonalds Guns, but I'll check out the new guys. Jeff doesn't carry safes any longer so that will give them a way to stand apart.

Just certified 5 new NRA Pistol Instructors at this facility! Nice range & store. Prices were decent. Jewelry prices were REALLY low!

Gas City was right in the middle of the Trenton Gas field, back in the day. The Trenton led to the huge industrial boom in central and northern Indiana in the late 1800s. Industries could get free or low-cost natural gas, like Ball Corp in Muncie and U.S. Steel up north. Some towns even provided free natural gas to all the homes in the town. My first house in Muncie still had iron pipes in the attic for the gas mantle lights. Problem was, they didn't know so much about natural gas in those days and they ended up wasting 90% of it by venting to the atmosphere and by the huge gas-burning "Flambeaus" that many towns installed and that burned enormous amounts of gas 24/7. The gas was mostly gone by 1915 and the industries converted over to coal.

They have moved out to the interstate area east of town about 3 miles & now have gunsmithing & a range on site. I hear it is nice but can't say for sure.

I was in the store on the 3rd day of business when he first opened & was very put off by the owner. I found him to be very cocky & arrogant. Every question I asked was followed by a comment of why I should buy a glock. I heard him trying to "convert" other customers who asked about a .38 revolver & he pulled out a glock 9mm & proceeded to tell them why that was a better fit for their young daughter to carry. They left the store having never even touched any of the .38's they came in to look at because he never took one out of the display case for them to see. I seen them at another gun store in the same county that my friend owns a couple hours later & the guy bought two guns, two holsters & a box load of ammo. Well over a $1500 purchase.

When I mentioned that I had recently purchased my Springfield XDm .40 cal, his response to me was, "I'm sorry to hear that"

In my experience the guy was a total prick who is stuck on glocks to the point he's very insensitive to his customers.

Your mileage may vary, but I'll not be going back!

Have a blessed day. Jim.

The owner is still a prick as stated earlier. I have had myself and several co-workers who where directly lied to by the owner on multiple different subjects. The older guy who work there full time is much nicer and more of a people person. This placed open up when the craze was full speed and they captured a lot of "newbies" that did not know their products or pricing.

 

[jgressley2003]

Their pricing is pretty good on guns, everything else isn't too bad, but the real kicker is the 5% up charge for using a card. I prefer going to McDonald's Guns in Marion. I've always gotten treated as a customer there.

I have run into the same arrogant attitude from the staff there. Shop was not friendly and the selection was so-so.

Have to agree with others, go North a couple of miles to McDonald's Gun Shop. Great selection and very friendly atmosphere.

+1 on McDonalds. I stopped in based on your review. Quote from another post I made, "Mcdonalds Guns (As reviewed by Snooploggylog)
I've been in that shop twice. I mentioned that I was new to reloading and they said that there wasn't anything they couldn't talk me through on the phone.
Wow! Who does that any more? How awesome are LGSs?"

I thought they were great. Between them and Bobcat Steel I think I'm set, and I like knowing my money is going to good folks.

McDonalds needs to put in a shooting range. Miles is really a nice guy but he is very biased on his opinions. He was telling me that Nikon makes junk and I had to disagree. But it was all cool.

I like stores that give a discount for cash. Someone has to pay the credit card fee so let the people that use the credit card rather than spreading part of it to me since I pay cash.
