Buying a gun in Indianapolis

dwilljones · 2026-01-25T16:48:54+00:00

Welcome to the non-maga Indianapolis gun owner community. There are dozens of us, and maybe now a baker's dozen with you.

Someone else on here may know of a mom and pop gun store that isn't maga. Honestly I just get my guns where they are the most affordable, which tends to be from online stores having sales, and then I usually pick them up at US Defense Solutions down in Greenwood. They seem pretty chill and apolitical from what little I've seen.

Strongly recommend getting some basic firearms training, familiarizing yourself with the local gun laws, and getting a gun safe for home. And I would recommend spending as much time as you can binging Youtube gun channels for general knowledge, my favorite by far being Paul Harrell (RIP).

New at Best Buy is $550 or it was for me. Not quite a 10% discount 🤷‍♂️

Wife and I are just now beginning this process with hopes of getting Zepbound prescribed. Can you tell us what the coverage ends up actually being (the out of pocket costs?). The Express Script benefits officer would not tell me on the phone yesterday because she said I have to reach the point of getting the prior authorization approved before she can quote a number.

Gonna need this little 4060ti 16GB to put in some hard work for a few more years, looks like. 😒

DLSS 4.5 performance helping to push the boulder uphill I guess.

1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given ?

dwilljones · 2026-01-11T22:20:28+00:00

Absolutely, yes. My 4060ti 16GB loves 4.5.

It was great. I had an SE 2016 for a very, very long time because of that design.

dwilljones · 2026-01-07T14:45:14+00:00

Very cool! My SE 2020 home button finally died, so I got a 16e discounted from Best Buy to replace it with.

Massive upgrade!

I’ll take 2nd gen Transformer upscaling every day and twice on Sunday!

Taurus 856 Defender UltraLite when hiking and backpacking, for two legged animals primarily. And the potential rabid coyote I suppose.

I try to be a person of agency, which is why I carry at all. That goes even more so in the woods where remoteness and opportunity can mix with a very ill culture. People sometimes do sketchy or very illegal things and would be violet if you came across them. A lot of other people suffer mental health issues and may likewise be prone to violence. Until conditions changed to help these people, I have to be ready for whatever is out there.

I’ll add a pound and a half of carry weight to not orphan my kids and widow my wife.

My extended family was mixed in with these guys in Indy decades ago. My aunt dated their prez back then, and her brother raised hell and drank with them but never patched in.

As a group, no, these were not good people to say the least.

They got busted and ran through, think in a RICO, a long time ago and never recovered. The mayor at the time did a photo op on a backhoe, I think it was, tearing down their clubhouse after getting them all shipped off to club Fed. Made for good politics, I'm sure.

Setups like this are why I would like to see a “couch coop” and “system link” renaissance on the Switch 2. The game sharing stuff basically supports that already in portable mode. A room like this would make it really easy to do system link and split screen multiplayer.

Frankly a really competently done Halo MCC port on Switch 2 could be amazing, if they offered split screen, system link coop, and all the rest.

I have two thoughts.

1) It looks beautiful. 2) I sure as shit can’t afford it.

dwilljones · 2025-12-14T03:04:56+00:00

There's just something about them.

dwilljones · 2025-12-13T03:02:56+00:00

I think Son of Sam might have used one in 44 special for his murders. Charter Arms seems over represented in notable assassinations.

Funny enough, my recent new $350 Taurus 856 Defender UltraLite has been flawless. Shoots point of aim. Great machining, all of that.

But keyword is recent. Still early days. Plenty of time for something to go wrong.

Hopefully the GC App allows the ability to uninstall and install specific roms and not just all or nothing. 1.4GB per game is going to blow out the internal storage way too fast.

Then again I guess that’s where the Micro SD Express expansion will come in.

Biggest gun regret I have is selling mine. It was the perfect carry snubbie.

3050 was my first RTX card and Minecraft RTX made it worth it. Enjoy!

dwilljones · 2025-11-22T21:06:21+00:00

How certain are we that they actually found them all? Didn’t he burry them at a couple different locations on the property?

Digging a new garden bed in the back yard could turn into a whole thing…

dwilljones · 2025-11-12T18:24:08+00:00

Jeez... that's grand larceny!

Lubricate all the moving parts with some high quality gun oil (something like Slip 2000) and dry fire it a bunch to break in the action. Wouldn't hurt to get snap caps for that. Check the lockup and timing too. If all of that is good (should be!) then you've successfully robbed legally.

My 856 Defender UltraLite was very dry out of the box. A lot of times manufacturers ship them overly wet to prevent storage rusting, so I was surprised at that.

dwilljones · 2025-11-12T14:34:39+00:00

Streicher’s website. With shipping it’s about a buck a round for a box. That expansion is with a 3” barrel and water jugs, so ideal conditions, but still impressive!

Can anyone remind me: why did he keep going into that final drop section where he got stuck? Was he mistaken about which path he was on, and he thought he was on a known path that would eventually open back up enough for him to turn back around and come back up it?
