Thanks Sugar Creek!
I appreciate the work you did.
There was 'Almost' a larger shooting sports store at I-64 & US 231 just north of Dale Indiana (around exit 57)...
The old 231 truck stop almost became an outdoor/hunting sports mall, but Dubois county got involved and it was just too expensive to fight the obstructions/blockages they threw down.
Somehow the religious right got involved and 'Believed' it would be a drug/porn store, peep show and cat house,
But the real reason was it wasn't going to profit the local power brokers being out of county investors trying to buy the place.
When it was a truck stop for decades it had a very sorted reputation, but that was OK since locals owned and profited from it...
Very much the 'Good Old Boy' Network in that area, and they can make it very hard for anyone from outside the little mafia they have.
It's a shame, it would have been an outdoor sports mall on par with the huge Gander Mountain or Bass Pro stores...
I saw the plans for the building, 1,200 square feet of space was supposed to be dedicated to reloading, if it would have happened.
For a short period it was a porn/book/novelty store. The cat house has always been in the parking lot.
IIRC they also had strippers on a regular basis.
Yes and they would perform in Troy as well. At least that's what I heard from a friend.
I'd rather have a outdoor/gun/reloading shop than a strip joint...
Nothing against strip joints, but I get to take something home I wanted from a gun store.
What do you have against glitter?
You can do what I do. Just drive 1hr 10 min to Shelbyville, IN to Bobcat Armament or order online through them. I usually get a list of powder/primers and call ahead. Kimball is a great dude to work with and you are supporting local business. I just purchased a Dillon RL1100 from him when no one had them in stock.
