NWI INGO/Winamac DNR Youth Day - Saturday, July 30, 2022 (WE ARE BACK!)

[KLB]

No CC or OC is permitted at DNR ranges. Weapons have to be cased upon entry to the range.

Which is why I haven't set foot there in years.

 

[repeter1977]

I have an AR and SCAR in 5.56/223 that can be used as well as an AK in 7.62x39
For the display I can help there too depending on the theme.

Almost a month closer to the event.

I have the INGO banner. Who wants it so you can have it at the youth event? If no one takes it I will be disposing of it. @2A_Tom had me pick it up to take to the last M&E and would not take it back.

I also have 6,000 rounds of .22 ammo for the event that needs to go to someone who will be attending. I will not be there.

Indiana DNR has not even a knowledged my email asking what they do with with the info they collect on the CERVIS form.

Looking like a lack of volunteers to even put the event on, at least at this point

@jedi Any updates? Not looking good on the volunteer count at this point. Don't wanna start soliciting donations if we don't have the minimum needed

Hope for the best and this event will happen in June.

Umm, really?
So I guess Dad isn't going then, no email.
And I don't really give out my number or email, or rarely do, so...

 

[2A_Tom]

Like a stupid sheeple I filled out their form, but I am feeling like this will not happen unless we change to a 2A venue.

Why yes, yes I am saying that indiana DNR is not.

It's sad to say, but I too will not be participating because of this. I mean we had to bend over backwards already when we submited to the background check and all for not only our license to carry a handgun, but we continue to be subjected to one on a national level every single time we purchase a firearm.

 

[chef larry]

Time will tell.

 

[d.kaufman]

Recieved 6k rounds and the INGO banner from marvin02

@jedi Any more info on volunteers? We are seriously lacking at this point it seems.

 

[Ballstater98]

I have a few trips down south coming up in the next couple months for a mule train, but I've been waiting to proceed.

Perhaps non participation is what the DNR needs to see to get rid of these ridiculous rules.

You know that isn't going to bother a bureaucrat.
The rangers... maybe. But they don't make these type of decisions.

This is a win either way for the DNR. If it is a success and they get a bunch of new volunteers in their system they will take the credit. If it's dies because they placed too many restrictions/rules in the way they throw up their hands and say, "We tried."

My understanding is that this is an INGO event, not a DNR event. They seem to want to take over but do little to help.

I'd be interested in @jedi commenting on this and others who have participated previously.

BTW, has anyone cleared the use of the INGO name with @texkev?

If the organizer of this wants to contact either Michigan City Rifle Club or North Porter County Conservation Club about holding it there the contact info is on their web sites. MCRC has an active 4H chapter that could possibly be involved.

Who is in charge of this? I don't see @jedi being active here.

I think this was always a DNR event. If I remember correctly I think they approached us to assist in an event that became what it is now. They just came to us because we used the range in mass, and donated a lot to them. After we left they would 100% have to change the boards. Many boards died to get us to that point.

 

[KLB]

As I remember, one of the other sites had a similar event and Winimac wanted to do one too. They reached out to us, because at that time we had monthly get togethers there with upwards of 30+ people. They have put restrictions and rules around it more and more and driven more of us away from the event.

Jedi can give more precise details.
