Indiana is Greater than Illinois
Some were right on the handle... I was born and raised in Illinois and moved to Indiana this summer and I"m loving it! Freedom to own and carry firearms... it's a beautiful thing!
Second, the young lady I was out with had been thinking for a few months about getting a gun. Her parents always had shotguns and rifles in the house and she enjoyed shooting those when she was younger, but she didn't have anyone to teach her how to use a pistol since she's origianally from Michigan and, like me, just recently moved to central Indiana.
Plus, we didn't go to Gander Mountain with buying a gun in mind, but simply just to look at guns. After she found a lil snubby for just under $300.00, she decided to buy it. She thought a gun would be more expenseive, especially after I told her what I paid for the Glock 27 on my belt.
And yeah, Eleven Mike, it is nice to just be able to throw down $200 - $300 for a gun on a whim... that's how I buy most of my pistols! I'm a 1911 man, so I am more in the $500 - $1,000 range though.
Thank God for women like her... and thank God for states like Indiana!
