Well gentlemen, it looks like I will be moving to Fort Wayne in the next several weeks to start a new job. IN seems to have a couple less gun laws and taxes than CT so that seems fair. I have a couple of ARs and handguns that I will be breaking out of storage in VA. It looks like sporting mufflers are good to go as well.
Is there anywhere to shoot at things far away? Is the CCW process difficult? Training required? Anyways, I'm excited for the move and any tips would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Hillside in Roanoke has a 1000yd range, but you are limited to the 300yd range until you qualify for the longer ranges.
CCW is easy. We have lifetime permits. Just have to get finger printed and send some paperwork in and I think around $125-$150. No training requirements. What part of town are you moving to? |

Looking to move to the west north-west part of town because I will be commuting from that direction. We are going to do the rental/apartment thing for a year, then look to buy. |

I'm actually getting excited about Hillside. Is there anything weird about joining? $250 seems like a steal for the facilities. Quoted:

Hillside is awesome. Fort Wayne is really a great place to live and raise a family. I'm actually getting excited about Hillside. Is there anything weird about joining? $250 seems like a steal for the facilities. Honestly, I'm not really into the place. They wouldn't let me shoot my MG's there or rifle calibers on the pistol range and they were weird about shooting .50 BMG. I'm a member at Blue Creek in Decatur, only $20/year for membership. They've got a 50, 100, 200 and shotgun range. If you're interested let me know and I can bring you out with me so you can check it out. |

No it's pretty straight forward, the only thing is that if you buy the guest pass to try the range you have to leave your license. You'll will also have to drive to the range after you pay for the pass. So, get the membership then you can drive straight to range from home. It's not bad, it's only about a mile down the road. Going again this weekend with the oldest two.
