You hope you never need it but would rather have it if you do. 2- I own a my own business in manufacturing and have to go out of state to other factories on a regular basis sometimes carrying fair amounts of money. Some of the places you end up are not in the best of neighborhoods. Every state I visit honors Indiana permits. 3-I have family I visit a couple of times a year in Florida. Every state between here and Florida honor Indiana permits.

I know where there is a Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm compact. The guy is a friend of my dads and owns a gun store. Hes asking $450 for it. I don't know what there worth. If its a good deal I could get him to bring it out and let me shoot it. If its not I wont waste his time.
