Don't forget to stop by the superb rifle and pistol ranges at Sandburr Gun Ranch just off U.S. 31 at Rochester, Indiana. Gun store on-site with a gunsmithy (S&W revolvers are their specialty) and they load and sell top-quality re-manufactured handgun ammo at a good price. Closed on Mondays. Phone: (574) 223-3316
Tremendous place to shoot, and well worth the drive. They host top-grade training schools there, also. John Farnam and Mas Ayoob are giving classes there this month. End-of-the-day campfires and good eats available when the class day is done. Wish I'd found out about the place years ago. I live in Indy, so it's only a couple hours' drive for me.
slightly off topic but Im moving to Indiana from Calif nextmonth was wondering does wally world still sell guns there? I know theyve stopped in some states Like Calif
thanks fullauto. The walmarts in my area are hit and miss. Most of the old stores still do but none of the new stores do. One guy in one of the stores said that he heard they were going to cut it back to like 15 stores in the whole state that sell guns

No big loss. There's lots of GOOD gun stores around the state. Best Mom & Pop shop I've ever been in is outside of Austin, IN in Scott county. 256 Sport & Garden. If you're ever in the area stop in and check them out. Bring your credit card or cash, excellent prices on used and many new guns. Kiesler's is a pretty good place to poke around in too, down in Jeffersonville. They've got contracts with police departments around the country to sell their used and confiscated guns. When we retire we can purchase our service pistol if we elect to, but the check is made out to Kiesler's.
It's been a while, but I remember reading that Kiesler's sells only to LE. Was I wrong? (fingers crossed)
I may be near that area next month and would love to stop in if as a civilian I can purchase (long guns only of course . . . I'm not an Indiana resident).

With the exception of body armor and handcuffs, which are LE/security only items there, you can shop at Kiesler's.
You can buy firearms, ammunition, and normal gun store stuff there. They do have a "LE only" selection of guns, but they are the same guns just discounted prices if you work for departments they have an agreement with or if the manufacturer has an LE rebate.
As for price, call your police station/sheriff's department and they'll tell you the exact amount. Life time permit is $85, I think, but you have to have two different money orders. One goes to the state and one to the city/county.
If you live within city limits you have to go the police station. Outside of city limits, go to the Sheriff's Department.
Another Kentuckian invading the Hoosier state....Daddy is a bigtime Hoosier hailing from Jeffersonville and has always proved to me that the Hoosiers are pretty nice folks. Meanwhile, a hop, skip and a jump across the Ohio river, I sit, forever looking for an alternative to Knob Creek Gun Range. Give me a shout if there is a range in a 50 mile radius that is worth the high priced gasoline. Knob Creek is a nice little range but way to crowded since they seem to hold the monopoly around here.
The first Hoosiers came from Kentucky, so You're right at home! Most of us Northern Hoosiers seem to have come from Pennsylvania!!
North Central IN here. A Kankakee River Rat.
South Central Indiana, Pike Co. Friendly people here in soutern IN. Lots of coal mined areas w/stripped pits for fishing and reclaimed land for hunting.
