FCFC: This is the first time I heard it but as it was part of a larger discussion involving the election, dollars to donuts we'll see or hear this again to justify previous positions regarding gun dealers in the Chicago area.

John: Agreed! But I'm starting to see the beginning of a meme that parallels the 'crack' and 'AIDS' meme. This one is "Whites own the gun shops and purposely supply minorities with weapons so they can kill themselves." I'm weary of that style of racism :banghead: as much as any other.

Folks: Had an acquaintance of mine make the claim that 'people of color' are not the ones selling firearms (at least legally) to those 'of color.' As my educational background is in Religious Studies I learned long ago that it is fruitless to argue facts with people who hold beliefs that are...

Thanks for the suggestions regarding what the rifle may have been. Indeed, the picture is of Bob. We've a few of him hunting: (That's him on the left standing with his nephew before him, his two 1/2 brothers and family friend to the far right.) In a larger version of the photo it looks like...

Folks: Ran across this old (and of somewhat poor quality) picture of my grandfather who lived from 1901 to 1979. The rifle he's carrying never made it down to my generation but I'm still curious about what Grandpa was carrying. Can any of y'all come close to identifying the rifle? Thanks...

What truly annoys me is that the Dean says, ". . .they intend to enact their constitutional right to express themselves. . ." and "While supporting the students right to express themselves. . ." while there's still a total disconnect regarding the 2nd Amendment as well as the Indiana State...

And the response from the IUPUI Vice-Chancellor for Student Life:

Folks: I've been chosen to be a member of an ad hoc committee to review the recommendations of the Virginia governor’s task force on the tragedy at Virginia Tech here at IUPUI. The committee has been charged to do the following: · Use the Virginia Tech report as a tool to list what is...

Well, not with a handgun but I'd like to carry my stainless steel Colt series 80, Government model when I'm wading a river and fishing for smallmouth. I prefer to keep it with me but dry. Assuming that I'll slip and dunk myself, what would be your suggestions?

Me. Fresh this morning. Well, this morning anyway.

If y'all aren't familiar with the Joyce Foundation, you can check Wikipedia.org for Joyce Foundation where, though disputed (I wonder by whom?) it states: Wayne

I'm going to continue my efforts here at IUPUI. I'm coming around to the notion that I can't have VT in my mind as I argue, cajole, and inform. I'm going to move toward presenting the image of a woman on campus facing a violent situation be it a stranger intent on robbery or rape or an...

Folks: Does anyone know what the official position of the "Take Back the Night" folks is in regards to the RKBA, CCWs, or armed self-defense in general? Their website is uninformative. If no one knows, I'll drop the Take Back the Night folks a note and find out. Wayne

Have you tried suspenders under a loose shirt? Perry suspenders (hooked under the belt) may be best. Wayne

Just yesterday someone was telling me that a common expression is, "Don't cross the bridge after dark." referring to, I assume, either of the bridges crossing the White River into a very bad section of the city just to the west of IUPUI. IUPUI does offer an (unarmed) "Escort Service" that you...

I'm 1/2 tempted to take the Thomas Paine approach and become a pamphleteer. I was inspired by a poster available over at Sharp as a Marble to create the following from a satellite image of our campus: Might be a bit too incendiary, though. :D Wayne

Folks: Whenever I speak to my boss about the concept of allowing licensed handguns to be carried here on the IUPUI campus he bring up this image of the Old West towns where guns where checked in when you came to town. "They must have known what they were doing!" says he. I've directed him to...

Folks: Searching the threads I see this had been asked a few years ago but anticipating that things may have changed and that others may have observations: What is a good place to acquire defensive handgun training in Indiana, particularly Central Indiana? I've 'googled' some places but...

Here's the instructor defending himself on YouTube. Regards, Wayne

Good suggestion! This AM I received a reply to my query from the Chief of Police: I imagine this to be a common response if one were to ask at other universities. We've a 'long row to hoe' as my mother would have said. Wayne
