No CCW classes in this town. Will have to drive about an hour away for one. This town blows.

What's gimmicky? I can have my laser sight on the bad guy by the time it is next to me. I can shoot and know exactly where the bullet will hit. No need to raise it up to sights.

Indiana currently doesn`t care whether you carry concealed or open. The permit should arrive in the mail in about 4-6 weeks.
That is awesome. In michigan you pay $125-$200 for the class, then $5 for passport photos, then $125 for the CWP which is only good for 5 years. But you have to renew at 4.5yrs so there is no lapse. At which time you must take another $75+ refresher coarse or go online and take the online class plus certified range time. Then another pass port photo and another $125 permit fee. Big time BS here!

Going shooting tomorrow morning at 0900. Wondering whether the 1911 or my P229 will agree with a hangover more.
