Finally!!!! I have been saying for a couple years now that they need to try the old K's building for a show. Free parking finally. I hate having to spend $10 just to walk through the door at the coliseum. I really hope this goes well!

 

[ccrise]

Where is the old K's building located?

 

[Jolfe]

I'll be definitely going to Fort Wayne on the 17.

Going on the 18th to the FW show. I thought I saw something about no private, ammo, or powder sales. What's up with that? So much for good deals on spam cans of 7.62x54r for anybody. I may buy another Mosin there, had one and sold it, kinda missing it now. Maybe a .22 revolver would be nice also.

Awesome! Free parking! Hope there is good vendor turnout, could be a good location for a show. I'll be there!

 

[Regionnus Rattis]

CP is always a good place for a show...

Just park across the street at HH Gregg and walk over. I've done that every time without a problem. Plus it's free!

It is just a pain in the ass though. What if I buy a long gun? Then I have to cross Parnell with it to get to my truck. I know big deal, but I am lazy and there are some horrible drivers in Fort Wayne! Plus if they notice they can have your car towed. I don't think they watch as much for the shows, but I have seen plenty of people get towed parking there for Komets games. I have parked at Johnny Appleseed park several times and hoofed it across the parking lot, but again it is just a pain.
I also like the discounted 2 day pass option with this show which is another thing I have always wanted them to do. I really hope this show goes over well and can become a regular event. I would love to see the Fort Wayne shows get at least close to what they once were!

So How was the show? Any good deals? Is it worth going to their next show?

 

[MtnBiker6510]

Show was a waste of time for me. Maybe only 5-10 (at most!)tables with firearms, lots of airsoft junk. The tables that had firearms were overpriced and seemed full of $150 91/30's. Was only about 4 or 5 rows of 10 - 15 tables. Place wasn't even 1/3rd full. I decided to go in hopes that interest would eventually bring a better show in the future. Walked the whole thing in 30 minutes. Disappointed. Won't be going again unless I hear it has improved.
