INGO Adopt a Highway

[Fenway]

I see groups that have adopted roads around INDY and here in Fishers. My understanding is the groups will make sure to keep the area clean for about a mile a couple of times a year. I think it would be cool if we had our own stretch of INGO road

Thoughts?

Should be the one right in front of Brady HQ.

I like the idea.

I think the only problem you will have is that people are so spread out. We would need a central location to ensure it is not just a few people keeping the road nice.

How about a section of road near a gun store. Like the section of SR 67 in front of Bradis. We meet up, pick up some trash, then visit the shop.

I have no problem with volunteering to clean up an area. You can also adopt rivers now as well (usually only around road over passes). But I am down to help adopt a highway!

 

[Boilers]

near a shooting range, I'd say.

I like Scutter's choice best so far!

 

[paddling_man]

I'm down with that. Scutter's idea sounds great. Otherwise, there seems to be healthy showing of the Fisher's Mafia here.

Hey, another alternate: How about in relatively shady area of town? Signs of INGO adoption might actually keep crime down!

As long as we all OC when we are cleaning I would be down for it!

 

[tyler34]

can we count the time towards our national service obligation?

but I digress, yeah it would be sweet to do but why stop at one we could coordinate through our MSG's and have a few adopted highways throughout the state.

 

[Bigum1969]

It could be a great PR move.

But imagine if we were out in orange vests cleaning up the trash while OC'ing. Passers by might call in "prisoners with guns" to 911!!

[aclark]

I would be willing to make a trip once a month or so to help clean up with some INGO brothers.

edit: Man I need to start researching before I post so I don't have to keep editing my posts...anyways...found this for you Fenway.

I think its a good idea and would like to be a part of it if it solidified

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery interesting.....

If it's "local" to Indy...or not too far... Then I think I'd assist.

Adopt a Highway ~ Open Carry Event

Wonder if this might be a good thing for us to try here in Indiana somewhere? This group in Minnesota did it, and it certainly is a friendly, non-threatening way to do an open carry that is VERY VISIBLE to the public. Possibly somewhere along I-94 in Lake County, or around/through Indianapolis on one of the interstates?

Indiana does have the Adopt a Highway program so groups can do this and I think they even put up a roadside sign if the group agrees to do it for multiple years. Might be nice advertising for FENWAY to have an InGunOwners.Com sign on a major highway!

Minn. group picks up road trash while packing heat

Oct 26 03:27 PM US/Eastern


MENDOTA HEIGHTS, Minn. (AP) - Motorists in Mendota Heights might have seen a group of residents picking up trash while packing heat this weekend.

About a dozen people spent nearly three hours picking up litter Sunday along a 2-mile stretch of highway. All legally carried guns on their hips. It was the inaugural trash cleanup event for the group that calls itself the Minnesota Carry Permit Holders.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation said the group is legal, and it appreciates their efforts to keep the roadside clean.

The group members met online and decided to get together and do something good for the community.

One member is Jason Walberg, who collected trash with a semiautomatic handgun on his belt. He jokes their adopted highway is the safest stretch of road in the state
