    Interesting.

    A little less than 10% for my zip code. Looks to be about average, give or take................

    I really thought it might be a little less?

    Would like to see more female LTCH holders, though.

    I can't help but wonder, what is up with zip code 47863 in Vigo county. There are only 35 residents, all white, and 15 have permits, which gives 42.9%. That is interesting....


    My feelings on this. Such a database as above that is strictly for data and in no way could be narrowed down to who does and doesn't, isn't as much of a problem as the fact that all the details are available to anybody that requests them from the state.

    I say we dig up the public records of the reporters and editors employed by the Bloomington Herald-Times and publish their public information on INGO. Fair is fair.

    Public people often have a lot of public information, its often not too hard to find the address, emails, even phone numbers of reporters! If they publish yours, you should publish theirs.

    Or where the guns can be found. And if the BGs are willing to risk robbing from the gunholders they will probably be ready and willing to kill to get them.

    Think of it this way 35 residents how many of these are households of 2 or more there may be a LTCH in every house!

    I wait for an up-dated version of this info, as we have all seen an incredible rise in the purchases of firearms, for about a year or so now, most of the areas I travel in, have experienced large numbers of new shooters, and the legit permit-holders numbers are sure to rise as well.

    I have talked to some gun-dealers who say their sales have reached sky-high....and we all know of the current status of ammo in our area, these percentages will change .

    I am OuT.......;)
