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

[jedi]

Isn’t there a Menards out that way? I haven’t been that way I a while. I know it was farther east, but not that far away. It my day it the article.

You are correct.
About 1.5 miles from this location but it is very small. Suspect that location will close and this new location will become a mega-menards similar or bigger than what the schererville one is.

 

[jedi]

Good. Maybe keep the riff raff more north and out of my Schererville store

Agree! The hammond menards has outgrown itself as well. Still it tends to have stuff in stock vs the schererville one.

jedi does not like the schererville one. It's too big and at least for electrical stuff is always out of stock. Maybe cause everyone goes there vs the smaller locations.

 

[jedi]

Don't worry they shoot like stormtroopers you will be safe

A HUGE menards is coming

I heard awhile back that was in the works but Dollar Tree has a long term lease that was getting in the way. Maybe they worked a deal. The existing one down the road to the east is an an old Zayers building.

R u sure about that zayers building?

The Cline Ave plaza had a Zayer then it became Venture then it became Kmart.

The other location (current griffith/Gary menards) had an Ultra foods and something else before it became menards.

Jumping back a couple of subjects to eating various kinds of animals. This picture brought to mind the Far Side comic.

I believe you are correct. The menards is where a grocery store sat. And the corner in question, was the venture/zarye/Kmart

Same reason I went with the Sig P365. Forget it’s there. Conceals and carries much nicer. I had a laser/light set up on the G26. Haven’t decided for the Sig yet.

I was never in love with the Glock. I have several. I appreciate them as amazingly reliable handguns, they do exactly what they should do. But for compact concealed carry they are lacking in actual comfortable concealed carry, even in very good holsters.

I am not criticizing the Glock brand or the G26 in particular. Fantastically reliable handguns. No gripe from me. But the Sig P365, the S.A. Hellcat, and a few select others, are also reliable and somewhat more comfortable, compact, lighter and/or smaller for concealed carry. The Hellcat and the Sig P365 were both on the top of my list. The Hellcat was actually second to the Sig when I started looking seriously but for my hand it came out first when the money came out of the wallet.

I am with you 100%
I really wasn’t even looking to replace my G26. I actually overlooked the p365 until I shot a friends. And then when I got my hands on a Wilson grip module…

 

[chef larry]

I’d be interested, considering the last time was…years ago. I don’t like people that much. Lol

So your good with raccoons?

 

[bdj357]

Taste like chicken.

Yes, used to go there as a kid with my mother. Don't ever remember anything but a drive in theater before Venture at Cline and Ridge. Ultra foods in the spot to the east of the current Menards. Think you can still see the shadow of the Ultra sign in place. The Hammond one was also a Zayer before Menard's tore it down to build the existing place. I know that cuz my mom took me to that one to get an 8 x 10 foot cabin tent with my lawn mowing money.

Used to go to Goldblatt's, Edward C. Minas and the great old Army Navy Surplus downtown Hammond. That and Woodmar mall were places to go before Southlake Mall was built. I remember when the Dead Sea was just sick.
