Shooters:

I own property in Indiana, work in Indiana during the academic year, pay state income taxes in Indiana, but my permanent address is in IL, where I also own property and pay income tax. So I have an IL drivers license and am not allowed an Indiana license or ID without surrendering my IL license.

So I'm at the shooting range and notice this post "It has been determined that it is unlawful for Illinois residents to bring handguns into Indiana for the purpose of hunting or target shooting." Really? What about home defense?

It's bad enough that I have to pay out of state fees for an Indiana hunting or fishing license. (Remember those IN state income taxes I pay that support the DNR.) But I can't bring a hand gun from IL to IN either? What the heck is going on here?
