Hi and Welcome. There are quite a few of us in Lake/Porter/LaPorte/Newton/Jasper county area and many of us have gotten to be personal friends by getting together in person. The N.W.I. INGO group gets together pretty frequently. Watch the EVENTS sub-forum, there is almost always something going on in NWI. Typically once or twice a month.
We have small get togethers at the 1101 Cigar Lounge in Schererville. LINK TO UPCOMING EVENT => https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...n_carry_cigars_golf_event_thurs_aug_23_a.html
We have monthly MEET & SHOOTS at the Winamac shooting range. LINK TO NEXT EVENT => https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...son_3_sun_23_sep_2012_nwi_meet_and_shoot.html
Also keep your eye on, or join in, the NWI thread inside the Break Room forum. Its dedicated to just the NWI group, and it covers EVERY topic, including many that make no sense until you meet some other shooters here.
