A truck stop? At westforths?? That not even close to an expressway and it’s surrounded by residential homes

Truck stop on .2 of an acre. Lol

Police tied a decades-old gun shop in Indiana to hundreds of Chicago crimes. It's shutting down.

Westforth Sports, a northern Indiana gun shop police have called a a key source of illicit guns in Chicago, is shutting down.

I wonder how many car dealers are being sued for providing vehicles that were used to drive between Chicago and Gary to make these "straw purchases"? Where did they buy gas for those trips?

Even seems a bit off the path for just a regular gas station. You'd expect it to be closer to Cleveland.

 

[actaeon277]

2.3% of the guns used in crimes? What a joke. No proof of a straw purchase. No information about whether they were stolen before they were used in a crime.

It's easier to go after a store NOT breaking the law, than it is to actually track people down, keep an eye on them, and then bust them.

 

[Ballstater98]

I'm still belching those polish...and it's glorious.

 

[d.kaufman]

Looks like it'll be here shortly

 

[Snapdragon]

Looks yummy and healthy. Happy birthday Ms. Snap!

Thanks, Tom!

Thanks, Tom!

I went to bed early (regular time) and didn't see this until morning.

I was afraid I'd given you a heart attack

 

[Ballstater98]

Some serious booms last night and rattled the house. Wife said one at midnight almost made her heart jump out of her chest.

 

[Ballstater98]

Looks like after fertilizing Thursday, my mowing chore is going to increase after the past 24 hours of 3 1/2+" of rain.

 

[radar8756]

only 1.45" here

 

[KLB]

It's cool, but way too humid.

I had the pleasure of getting little sleep and getting drenched when I had to run out and close the barn up when that storm rolled through.. I got to enjoy most of it from the comfy confines of the barn.

My wife says it woke her up.

I was dead to the world.
