Is that cowboy silhouette holding an AR15 silhouette at about 1:43 in the video?

Dean Weingarten... I take it you are the same Dean Weingarten who quoted me in a March 9th Ammoland article. I bragged about it then forced countless people to read the article!

 

[MindfulMan]

I would settle for the roads fixed.

We have holes big enough to bend the rim..... ON A HUMVEE!

Ain't that the truth !

Good. Thanks for the promotion.

You were very quotable. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Dean, that means a lot.

It's been 6 days since this thread has been bumped. Does Woodford Reserve Double-Oaked and a Monte Cristo White Series Churchill sound appropriate for this level of celebration?

So where is the INGO meet and greet / ConC celebration going to occur on July 1?

I could see several regional meet and eats for this one! Even if there isn't an "official" function on 1 July, posting selfies with celebration of choice is a must!

I've not had the double-oaked, but why not go with an IN made whiskey?

I'm hoping to be defending around that time, so I might miss the festivities, but I'll be with you in spirit.

Hotel Tango Rye. On the rocks, strong pour.

A very large percentage of American Whiskey starts with Spirits from MGP here in IN.
Does that count?

I would say so, but Woodford isn't in that category as far as I know.

For other IN whiskeys, I am rather partial to Bear Wallow's bourbon and rye whiskeys - note, I am a fan of more aggressive whiskeys, so I don't typically care for scotch. I have to bring home their rye every time I visit my brother back east. BW mashes, distills, and ages right there in Gnaw Bone, IN (just outside of Nashville, IN). So I'd definitely suggest it as a rye to try to shake things up a bit.

Huber's starlight was decent, but not my taste. I preferred their single-barrels,which are a little out of my price range at the moment (grad students be poor). Their currently ready products are MGP sourced but they are moving towards their own production from their own farm (except for barley due to weather & farming incompatibilities).

Bourbon just seems appropriate for such an occasion. Being a beer man a Taxman or a Quaff On (both?) will definitely be in the beer fridge on 1 July.

Now the cigar is Ecuadorian/Nicaraguan/Dominican... won't be wandering out to the local tobacco barns, just sayin.

There are IN made bourbons (for the "Bourbon must be from KY crowd".... the mentioned MGP in Indiana makes a whole lot of the available bourbons).

I am no connoisseur of fine cigars, so you'll find no criticism from me on that.

Hard Truth Sweet Mash for me. Distilled, aged and bottled in Nashville.

Oh I am definitely not a connoisseur, but I do know what I like!

I know it's not 2a related, but I think the next push should be term limits for all state officials. That's including ISP Superintendent position.

Term limits already exist, implicitly - at the ballot box. I'm of the opinion that people get who they vote (or choose not to vote) for.

But you do give me another idea: a push for chiefs of police to be elected, rather than appointed.

 

[chipbennett]

You guys are on your own on the state fair. Since they ruined the race track, I’m not going to lift a finger to help them do anything. Especially something that’ll get them more business.

Edit: if allowing carry there would decrease their business, maybe I should get involved

The area is no longer safe for me to take my family. As long as carry is statutorily prohibited, I will not return to the state fair. (Yes: concealed is concealed. But I will not implicitly support infringement of my rights by spending any of my money at the state fair.)

 

[chipbennett]

So will there be any befit to having a lifetime LTCH in my wallet after July 1st or will it be worthless?

Do you ever travel out of our great state? If you do so, do you intend to carry a firearm while out of state?

 

[chipbennett]

Just checked the streets: that's rainwater, not blood running tonight.

True, but to be fair, you'll have to check again on or after July 1st.

For anyone who needs some salt with their eggs this morning...

From the WTHR (spits on ground) website:

Indiana Democratic Party Chairman Mike Schmul released a statement on behalf of the party after the bill was signed, which read, in part:

“A majority of Hoosiers told Indiana Republicans directly they opposed permitless carry. State law enforcement echoed their opposition to the measure a year after Republicans defunded their departments. But unfortunately, Governor Eric Holcomb decided to put politics ahead of protecting the safety of Hoosier families by signing permitless carry into law."

A majority of Hoosiers, eh? Was there a majority of Hoosiers against gay marriage? Or (m)any of the other cockeyed leftist schemes that have been hoisted upon us over the past few years, Mikey?

Go bake yourself a cake, ya buttercup.

My rights aren't up for a vote by the majority.
