New Indiana-ite inbound

[West]

Or is it Indiana-in?  Well.. someone will tell me I'm sure...cuz I don't have a clue.

In any case, I wanted to give you all FAIR WARNING!  West is coming to town.   

My father had a stroke in mid January, and we are waiting patiently while he recovers here in Delaware.  We miss him very much, with his left side immobile, he's not the same guy he used to be.   

Not looking for sympathy, just wanted to tell you that due to this, my younger sister and I are moving my father and ourselves to Indiana to live with our Aunt/Dad's sister in Muncie.  I am currently in the process of looking for work in the area, but getting together with some Appleseeders would make the transition more comfortable.

Looks like it is going to be mid May to early June.  Hopefully, Delaware will be far enough along by then that I can let her go and not feel totally worthless.   

In any case, I am looking forward to finding a good 400+ yard range, and participating in all the Appleseeds I can handle!  Going to definitely be working with the IL/WI crew, as I met a few of them at the RBC in Feb.

So, hope you have space for me, willing to pick up a bucket and start bailing.

It's Hoosier, and you will be one when you get here. We aren't picky like Texans, you don't have to be born here

Welcome aboard! Very glad to have you. Sorry about the reasons and conditions for your move, but we are happy to have you coming our way.

So, hope you have space for me, willing to pick up a bucket and start bailing.

Pick up a bucket? Indiana quit using buckets, we are dropping pumps in the bilge this year. Five Appleseeds on Patriot's Day and a Womens only shoot in May is just the beginning. Bring comfortable boots... Our new State Coordinator is a real slave driver ( ducks and runs...... )

Also, get logged into http://ingunowners.com. It is a very active board nearly state wide and we have a sponser board there. You will find almost all the Hoosier Instructor Corps is active on that board.

Welcome West, you have our support and plenty of slots to fill on the line.  Let me know what you can do time wise and I will get you work that needs done.

And if you need any ins and outs of IN gun law, just ask in a PM or over at INGO.  We will be happy to assist with your transition.

West,

Welcome to the Hoosier state, sorry for the reason but certainly glad you're inbound.  Muncies's amazing and the mountains are beautiful up there! (Cue Close Encounters of the Third Kind clip...).

We have several instructors in that part of the state, I'll let them introduce themselves and if you give us a clue what field you're looking in, we can bird dog for ya'.

The NE corner of the state is going to pop this year, so come ready, the corn will be up soon and the crazy drivers down in Indy will be fired up as well. (Not the Speedway, the I-465 construction will be getting finished!)

Welcome to the state - even if the reasons for the move aren't the best.  Hope to meet you on the trail.

West,

Not used to Muncie being referred to as "up there".  Here's a hardy hello from the flat part of the state(NW).  Sorry about the circumstances, looking forward to meeting you.

Welcome, West! Sorry to hear of the circumstances, but glad to have you here. You don't say how old you are (and I'm not asking!) but if you are 18 or over, you might want to check out http://aries.in.gov/Firearms/Permit.aspx. You can apply for your Lifetime License to Carry a Handgun, valid as long as you reside in Indiana! You'll still need to get fingerprinted, but Delaware County (where Muncie is located) is one of the 30 counties in the state that are online with the application process.

Good luck and I look forward to meeting you!
Blessings,
Bill

Thanks all!  

Looking forward to meeting the lot of ya'll also!  I'll be 25 this summer, (so old!  )so I'll definitely look into getting my CHL. Hope to be getting mine soon here in DE also, but I don't think it will carry over

I'm looking forward to finding a good club to join, and start doing some High Power this year.  I'm just in my infancy, and I won't get to do too much, but it's good to start somewhere!

Hoping that I can get Appleseed started here in DE.  Not liking that it's not going yet, but I have faith that it will be under way before I have to depart.  

I appreciate the warm welcome from you all.

See you on the Trail!

It was good talking to you tonight on the phone.  Have fun down there in Evansville and see you soon on the IN trail!
