Okay so maybe the title is a little deceiving but I have acquired several firearms from Bass Pro and didn’t spend a penny.
Years ago my brilliant bride suggested we open a credit card at Bass Pro. It is our only credit card and we pay it off monthly. She later told me that she wanted me to use...
Ammo is too expensive for warning shots. Just kidding. Pretty sure the local PD wouldn’t appreciate warning shots. They did however (unofficially) support “something” happening to the dog. They said they could only do so much until the dog until the dog actually hurt someone. It was obvious they...
Sure do wish we could get shows like that in my area. That’s way too long of a drive. Hopefully gun owners down here in the S/E corner will let show promoters know we exist. I can’t be the only one in the “corner” looking for a local show.
My post was long enough so I may have left out pertinent information.
This particular German Shepard was known through the neighborhood for being very aggressive and often jumping the fence. I wasn’t the first person (or other dog) that he had attacked. I personally had approached and spoken...
I was reminded recently of a bad situation I was in years ago. Background is that I lived in the suburbs of a city before moving to semi-rural Indiana.
Situation - my wife and I were headed out for date night. My wife got in the care. I decided to walk the garbage can out to the curb (about 30...
Welcome from one new guy to another. I’m still learning the ropes as well. Been reading and learning a ton.

So, did I set a INGO record? Been posting here less than 2 days and already hacking folks off. I did Not join INGO to cause issues, so if anyone can rationally explain what I have done that has clearly upset someone - I’m all ears. As far as I can tell the vast majority were more than willing to...
Exactly. Which is why I occasionally ask (in a non-pushy) manner if she’d like to join me on the deck to shoot a 22. Maybe she’ll take me up on it someday. Till then I’ll continue to ask every once in a while. No pushing or coercion.
I have a friend from Costa Rica. Same applies to him. He “loves it” when anyone refers to him or his Spanish as “Mexican”. Those are fighting words to him.
This had me totally cracking up. But it really is great advice for what we do. “Be nice until you can’t be nice”.
On a side note Patrick Swayze was my wife’s heartthrob when she was younger. Can’t wait to tell her that her old fart husband has been compared to Pl Swayze. Would have preferred...
Thanks for all the incredibly helpful information.
I sincerely appreciate those who have supported me asking the question. It was meant as a harmless question. While I understand the paranoia of some I in know way meant to stir the pot. I was involved in forums for many years and even helped...
So many choices and options. Since I’m not independently wealthy it’s great to get other’s opinions and then be able to do the research myself to find what matches my needs.
Thanks
I’ve never minded the items that are firearms related. It just seems that it went from gun shows to closer to flea markets. At least that was my experience.
I sincerely hope to see you in our area. May want to look at Lawrenceburg IN. I believe they have venues that may meet your needs. And...
Just curious what your reply means? I posted the truth and my personal experience. Wasn’t meant to offend or hurt anyone. As seen in this thread I’m far from the only one with a pro2A bride that doesn’t enjoy the shooting sports.
Would appreciate you explaining your post as I truly do not...
I have never nor will I force her into my hobby but I do ask once in a while if she’d come out on the deck and shoot. It’s nice that I have my own little range in the backyard. I thought that might encourage her since she doesn’t have to leave home to do it. Still not interested so I’ll...
So far the biggest situation I’ve run into was an unruly first time visitor. In the middle of a sermon he stood up and started mildly yelling at the pastor. I approached him and in an attempt to deescalate the situation calmly asked him if we could discuss the issue outside the sanctuary. To...
