      NWI INDIANA GUN OWNERS. #24 Lets face it we all love to shoot and eat

      A lot of that has to do with it just being the prized fish of that auction. Most don't go for that price, even the big ones. They value the beauty of the catch, same with certain fruit. Fruit at auctions can go for crazy prices, but that's because it's a beautiful/perfect piece of fruit. They...

      NWI INDIANA GUN OWNERS. #24 Lets face it we all love to shoot and eat

      No, and no. lol. I did a lot of surf fishing, but no chartered rides. I honestly don't like fish, cant stand the texture (However, I did eat a lot of bass and trout growing up that I didn't mind). It doesn't help that I'm allergic to Iodine, so a lot of things over here I couldn't eat. The...

      Jack-of-all-shotguns?

      Yeah, I'm thinking two as well. I retired (medically) after 15 years. Body couldn't cut it anymore. Where in Japan were you?

      Mike Pence has secret documents now.

      My time in service, we always had a saying. "When in doubt, stamp it out". Under classify something, and you are in trouble. Overclassify, someone just needs to manually review it for declassification. I can't count how many things I needed to be declassified from top secret to secret... or...

      2nd Amendment is becoming a suicide pact

      I had the unfortunate experience of living in California for 10 months. Beautiful state, terrible people. I felt safer in Iraq than where I lived in downtown San Diego. Without a permit or heaps of paperwork, I was basically limited to a safety whistle, pepper spray or a cane for protection.

      Jack-of-all-shotguns?

      I'll definitely check these out. Looks like a good option, I'll have to see what I can find locally once I get back to NWI in March, if not this might be worth getting shipped to a FFL. Thanks! - Tim

      Greetings

      Howdy from Japan, soon to be Lowell. Eventually looking at possibly settling in Porter once the Mrs. and I get situated.

      Jack-of-all-shotguns?

      Hello again, I appreciate everyone's input. When it comes to versatility of rounds, in the past I handloaded rifle and pistol, and I'm looking at getting into handloading shotgun when I get back to the states. That should open the door to tailored loads, plus a new hobby for me. My hobbies have...

      Jack-of-all-shotguns?

      Hey all. I'm heading back to Indiana after living in Japan since 2009. I never really hunted much growing up, but I'd like to get into it with my boys eventually. My question is this. I'm looking at a good all around gauge for a shotgun. I'd like to hunt deer mostly, but I'd like to keep the...

      Survival Situation Item

      Likely a survival knife or hatchet. At first I thought about a tarp with some 550, as staying dry is important... but after that, making survival tools would be difficult without a knife or hatchet.

      Hey guys

      Welcome to the board! Similar reason I came back, except I'm moving back to Indiana from Japan. I'll be teaching my boys how to shoot. Take care! - Tim

      Northwest indiana Reloaders?

      I'm coming home on the 18th. I'd be willing to show you my reloading setup. I have a lot of rounds to load before I head back to Japan. I have a Square Deal B for pistol and a single stage Lee classic for rifle reloading. If you're interested, just let me know. I'm right down the road from...

      If the SHTF will you use optics?

      I'd definitely use optics on my ar-15. In a SHTF scenario, I'd most likely be using our shotgun rather than the AR-15 though. No need to take long shots if your trying to keep a low profile and survive. I'm not looking for any extra attention :-P Just trying to survive and protect myself and...
