NWI INGO Meet & Shoot - SAT, 18 SEP 2010

[Clif45]

Some people say it is RIDGE ROAD . . . others suggest it is US30.

I'm partial to the dividing line between North & South as being 231 and really don't want anyone north of that road moving down and polluting my clean lands with their stank

There are a few nicer areas below 30, but I agree that 231 would be better... But hell, I am from Lake Station so what do I know.

 

[Woodrow]

I guess I'm just slumming it 1 block north of Ridge. It's Munster, but I guess not really if I'm ay up here in No Man's Land. I hope I will still be allowed to turn up for the occasional even.

I'll just stand quietly in the corner.

I'll just stand quietly in the corner

Just make sure you wash your hands before you shoot other peoples guns.

 

[chef larry]

Woodrow, don't feel bad as I live in Hobart between Ridge Rd. and Old Ridge Rd. and will stand in the corner making as much noise as I can and you can join me in asking as many questions as we can along with adding WHY and ARE YOU SURE.

 

[Woodrow]

Solidarity. Together we residents of mid-northern Lake County, both east and west, shall overcome the prejudices of the residents of central and mid-southwestern Lake County!

 

[chef larry]

Are we being residental profiled? What do we want? SOLIDARITY. When do we want it? NOW. This reminds me of growing up in the 1970's and now I feel old. Where's my cane and rocking chair?

 

[chef larry]

Arma73, Please don't tell anyone this is a fun group to be with and around, the Shoot and Meet, cigars at the Smoke Shop, the OC/CC at Five Guys, and Wednesday lunch time at the Pine Island Smoke Shop. As a group NWI will keep you busy and learn new stuff to share about guns, just keep this under your hat. Hope to meet you soon.

I think back in my youth growing up in EC the "line" was south of RIDGE was the "good part" of Lake County. I'm not sure when that lined moved to US30 (South was still the "good part"). But now I suspect that we may have to push that line even further south.

Certain parts of Munster will always remain "good" (Briar Ridge I think is what it is called but the rest has been over run be it if they like to admit it or not.

Not sure where "EAST" side the line is. I always figured I-65 and east was good but then again when I think past I-65 I think of no-mans land. Still venture to say the most corruption is in EC and Hammond. Gary its not corruption as much as it is gone.

BTW don't forget MEET & EAT this SAT!!!!

Jediagh, as we grow older we see everything in a different way. I have been over here since 1975 (moved from Joliet, Il) and lived in valpo for a year and saw a lot of changes there, some good and some bad in my opinion. Moved to Portage in 1976 till 1989 and watched the area grow from the farm community changed to the formation of a city with all the new people coming from Chicago and the cities to the west of the area with new business, homes, and apartments. Divorced and remarried moving to Hobart in 1989 to a new city to get used to everything all over again, love the downtown area with the lakefront walk and as with most areas the downtown goes to he** and the businesses move to the malls and strip malls on the fringes of the cities and towns. The people in Indiana are a lot more friendly than in Illinois and miss Fetlas in Valpo. Just getting older and more mellow here watching the grandchildren grow up with two more due around the first of next year for a total of five to teach to shoot and feed with sugar and send home.

 

[Clif45]

East line would be 49, 249 at best, but thats a stretch.


I cant stand briar ridge... When I can put my house in their garage, makes you feel like crap... Or a deck that cost as much as my bachelors degree...

 

[truegrit]

I'll try to make this one I just found an INGO member in my neigborhood who'da thunk it

 

[chef larry]

Briar Ridge is one of those gated communties with a golf course and big somewhat fancy houses. The construction company I worked for had to pay $10.00 for a construction pass for every vehicle we took in when we worked there. Wonder who got that money? I can't think of any other place where the contractors had to pay to get to the job in the 14 year's I worked there.

I have no problem with Briar Ridge.

Seems to me those people earned their money. If they can earn that much then so can I. Isn't the whole point of America that this is the land of opportunity? Nothing is stopping you, me or anyone else from coming up with an idea, working hard to develop it, and getting rich. I know a bunch of those folks who live there, many of them busted their butts to make a life, some came to America with NOTHING but their clothes and made a life for themselves (I know a couple of folks who lived in there that were Eastern European immigrants without 2 nickels to rub together and made a great life here in the US by working hard)

Me, I don't want to live there, but I don't begrudge those who do, who have more than me. If they can do it then there is hope that I can too.

 

[jedi]

Please, please, please stay ON TOPIC in this thread since we are in the EVENTS section. If it's related to the MEET & SHOOT post away otherwise create a new post and put a link in this one for those "other topics". I don't want the MODs to lock us down. Thanks!

 

[Hardscrable]

I have an FN-40 and would consider coming ( if schedule permits ) but am not a member of your 'group'...I live in CENTRAL northern Indiana - SR 15, 10 miles north of US 30.

While the event is called the "NWI INGO event" EVERYONE (read open to the public) is invited to attend. The majority of those that attend are from "NWI" but we do have some regulars that come from the rensselaer indiana and the Northern Indy area as well.

Don't worry we won't check if you have the appropiate "da region gehtto" style guns and wear.

If you can make it please come. It's well worth it as you get to put names to faces, shots a wide variety of guns, smoke cigars (if you like) and eat a hot dog or two.

Besides I'm not aware of another group as active as the NWI INGO one that is holding regular monthly events like this. So come on down/up/east/west.

Like jediagh said, there's no group per se, brother. Just a loose conglomeration of people that enjoy shooting and get along pretty well.

 

[chef larry]

Always looking for new people to shoot with and enjoy a day out in the country. Hope you can make it and by the Yahoo map, it looks like your drive to Winamac may be closer than most of us. Note that we go by central time for the starting time not eastern time.

 

[chef larry]

Hey Jediagh, I saw on another thread that Delmar has a Hi-Point PISTOL, maybe he will bring it if you ask real nice to use it.

 

[Trooper Lefty]

At this point, I'm planning on attending. As far as guns, I figure on the Yugo SKS, probably the AR, possibly a Winchester 9422, and hopefully the Garand if I can get all the cosmoline off it. If I'm really lucky, I can get my brother to come along.
