Last time I was in Guns and Gear it turned my stomach. Big sign on door "Law Enforcement only carry inside" or some such wording, peanut gallery of old know it alls just inside door, and ammo prices that I could have went over to Rural King and beat. Walked out and haven't been back.
Sportman's Warehouse is O.K., I've purchased several guns off of them. Bought my Heller pistol off of them.
For Lafayette, I shop at Tippecanoe Sport Shoppe:

Cool thing about Tippy Sport Shoppe is that they have a gunsmith. Stu is a great guy and has worked on many guns that I have purchased for my nephews as well as my own firearms.
I like "Lafayette Guns and Gear". Of course, I remember when it was downtown and I used to buy guns from Schuizi on Main and 5th on my lunch break.
Les has never blown me any grief over carrying in his store. I never pay attention to the peanut gallery. In fact, I bought an AK-74 off one of the peanut gallery as I was shopping and Les did not mind.
Ammo prices are decent. I'd rather pay Les and keep the money local, but that's just me.
I do well every now and then at Ram-Z. I've found quite a few treasures buried here:

There is a pawn shop were Ram-Z used to be but last I checked there was no FFL yet. The owner claimed he was awaiting an ATFE inspection.
I've bought guns off Stan at Applied Ballistics too. He's a 7 so you can get tubes and machine guns too, just not much on the shelf.
That's the problem with gun dealers in Indiana. No one likes to sink the dough into inventory. Oh, well, when I have
my store. . .
