Howdy folks!

Looks like I will soon be joing the Indiana ranks. I'm being placed in Brookston and I'm sure I'll have a bunch of questions. If anyone knows of a place for rent (prefer rural), that'd be great.

Also, after reading the IN gun laws list, I'm lead to believe that surpressors are legal to own? Someone please confirm... $200 burning a hole in my pocket!

Yep 100% legal.

Well you’re in luck if you’re looking for someplace rural to rent in Brookston, as Brookston itself is pretty rural.  

And a suggestion when you get moved in is to celebrate with a dinner at the Top Notch, the Large Fillet is highly recommended.  

Also, wildcat valley rifle and pistol club is just down the road from Brookston, it’s expensive, but there are others around that are easier on the pocket book.  Linden Conservation club is within 25 miles from there.

The ONLY NFA weapons that are ILLEGAL in Indiana are SBS's (Short Barrel Shotguns) and Exploding DD's (grenades etc and EXPLODING ammo > 0.5").

I' going to take a driving tour of Delphi, Battle Ground, Ash Grove, and Brookston today and hopefully I'll find a place to rent. Corporate is footing my hotel bill though, so not too worried.

- Is there an FFL/SOT in the area who can help me through the suppressor process?

- Also, I'll be staying in Lafayette for the time being. Anything I should do while I'm there? Anyone wanna grab a beer?

- And the top notch has been reccomended to me by others in the area. I'm looking forward to it!

Im sure that Applied Ballistics will be along in a few to let you know about class 3 stuff. Good guys and right off 52 behind Newtone fitness. The wildcat is worth the money especially if your going to be here long term. Its only minutes from Brookston.  wvrpc.org for a website. Hunters pub is good eating on the southside off 350 and near the indoor pistol range. Southstreet BBQ is a great little spot as well tucked in behind the CVS on the corner of 52 and 26. I just get takeout from there. The Brisket is great. If your a party animal Purdue and the Levee area will be all you want.

Welcome!

Do you still have the PSS?

Welcome to the area.

The obvious choice for you is WVR&P.  

As mentioned above, I am co-owner of Applied Ballistics Systems, Inc.

E-mail me and we can discuss other options in the area.

Again, welcome!

Hmmm... Don't know why my last reply didn't go through. It's hard finding listing for rentals, but I found one I'm considering a place in Springboro. Pretty isolated. Most everything are college kids or apartments.

The PSS is still for sale, but located in Iowa. My plan is to run back there next weekend and get the rest of my stuff. I'm used to being able to shoot on my own property, but it looks like the wildcat is the place to be.

Thanks again all!

Everyone hit Lafayette right on the head. Lots of great places to eat. Lafayette really shines in the summer, 30k less college kids around, no waits on any of the restaurants! lol. There are a few gunshops around, as well as a Sportsmans Warehouse, most of them are really good shops.  Applied Ballistics is the place in town to go to for class 3 stuff. Wildcat is the best place around if your really into the shooting sports, it has excellent facilities. Jasper Pulaski is about an hour straight north of Brookston, and has a pretty nice layout. All you have to do is sign in at the station. There have been several ARFCOM meet and greets held there.

You might want to go checkout IN gun owners.com They have a good number of Lafayette people over there too.

Are you sure about the SBS's? Midwest gun exchange had a half dozen the last time I was there.

In Indiana you can own the following items that are regulated the the National Firearms Act

Machine Guns
Silencers
Any Other Weapon (AOW)
Destructive Devices (DD)
Short Barreled Rifles (SBR)
In Indiana you cannot own the following NFA restricted items.
Short Barreled Shotguns (SBS) ****

If I understand correctly the AOW has no stock and the SBS would have a stock?

Im not the class 3 guy.

"Short-barreled shotgun" means a shotgun having one or more barrels less than eighteen inches in length and any weapon made from a shotgun by any means of modification if such modified weapon has an overall length of less than twenty-six inches.

WHile the Top Notch is good, Sullys in Renolds  Rocks!  They are one of the few local places that still ages and cuts their own beef, I believe?  I am between Delphi and Brookston.  Must be working in the ag field?  Springboro, How far are you from CT?

Just curious who you're working for?

+ one on the Linden Conservation Club

If you're into the hole in the wall type local resturants, stop by the R&S in Linden after a few hours of shooting at the club

I work for ADM.

Still looking for a place to live...UGH! The place in Springboro is looking better and better. Lots of homes that look like they were inhabited by the cat lady from the Simpsons and overpriced apartments.

If I knew what CT referred to, I could tell you.

Ah, ADM.  I sell a lot of my corn through ADM Frankfort.

Sorry took it to mean that you were already in Springboro?  Are you looking at the sub divisions or down on one of the Bends(Horseshoe or Tecumseh)?  Both can be flooded out at least once a year, it seems?  CT is the large YMCA Camp on Tecumseh Bend Rd (it is on the high ground).

Oh, this is just down the road at the bottom of the hill, just past the bridge. I went over there the other day and the water was getting close. The guy wouldn't budge on the price, so no deal for me.

I found a place off of Klondike rd. Not a home in the country sadly, but it's a nice, clean 900 sq. ft apartment that the guy who's going to work in Swanington and I can split,

If you're looking at Klondike Road, go a little closer to W Lafayette on 52.  I lived in the apartments called Barrington West when I first got married.  Big apartment (~1100 sf, as I recall), good management, $550 a month.  Nice quiet complex.

Sorry, haven't checked in in a while. Work has been nuts.

My name is Sam, I'm from Iowa (kind of), and I drive a dark F-250 diesel... However, it wasn't me! Sorry!

If you enjoy sushi or fresh seafood try the Bluefin Bistro in Lafayette. They have a nightly special after 4:00 that includes 1 lb. of steamed snow crab legs and all the sushi you can eat for $20.
