But you know, the people who hold these idiotic beliefs are absolutely not embarrassed by their ignorance. I realize there is a whole nuther' vibe between South Bend and the far southern part of the state, but I've seen this crap right here along the Ohio river, as well. My brother is building an indoor range in Clarksville, which is about as gun friendly of a town as your likely to find in Indiana, but at one of the zoning meetings we had to attend, a woman showed up to voice her opposition to the range, seems she is a teacher at a nearby elementary school. Her concern was, a kid would just be free to walk into our facility, pick up a gun, and shoot themselves with it! This lady was actually sobbing in the meeting room, and after she spoke, there was a long, very uncomfortable quiet in the room, and not because her words had convinced anyone else of her argument. I was actually embarrassed for her, it was that bad, but she walked out of the room with her head held high as if she had done humanity a great service. These people are blissfully unaware of how irrational they look and sound.I'm embarrassed to live here.
I'm in SB now...glad I have my gun with me for a late dinner out.
Downtown?!?
I avoid it whenever possible. Too easy to get whatever somewhere safer.
That's my neighbors.
Yeah, they seem screwed up up there.South Bend is basically run by a bunch of community organizers that think Chicago is the model to aspire toward.
Everyone's a critic. I did the best I couldWell that was a pretty minimal article.
