Indy 1500: 12-14 January

[MadMan66]

Forgot to mention got to talk to @MadMan66 for a while today. I think he’s out on the mean streets now.

Only got a few hours in at this show due to my regular work obligations. And it's been busy out here, so haven't been able to check this thread. Only one loaded gun landed in our hands while I was there. One too many, but not surprising. Those 8 big signs outside the building, in the lobby, and right in your face as you walk in the door, that say "No loaded guns inside building" are just too easy to miss!

Maybe they were illiterate...

When I go to a gun show (not working a booth) those are the occasions I carry a revolver. I figure butt first with cylinder swung out is a welcome change.

I always wonder how many rounds will be ejected from unloaded weapons.

KellyinAvon LIVE from the Indy 1500!!

THE BIG STORY!! It’s flipping COLD out there!! Inside: none of the overhead doors are up, so it is very comfortable in here, I shed my flannel shirt, not long after walking in and just have a T-shirt on.

We are on the suck side of the air handler, opposed to the blow side that has the warm air, so when the door gets raised, we can tell it.

So far, I’ve picked up a couple, double stack, mag pouches, and some chocolate coated coffee beans. I’ll see if I bring my money home with me today or if it burns a hole in my pocket.

Talked with you yesterday and didn't realize who you were.
Talked about East Central and Family.
Got reloadable .303 Brit ammo real cheap.
Then found 2 G3 clones, 1 for $3k and another for $800.
3 guesses on which I went for and the first 2 don't count.

What about SmithandW?

What about SmithandW?

I haven’t seen him at this show. With the wheelbarrow he used to haul his guns out of that auction the other day… He’s probably still finding places in the safe for all of them.

On my way to the show now how has the people watching been with the cold weather

 

[Hoosier8]

I would say that I wish I was closer to Indy but no way. I wish the gun show was closer to me and I was farther from the city. Sounds like a good time.

Huge, lots of new stuff. Always something to leave with. Looking for one particular gun but no go. Left with a Swiss wool blanket and new gun belt.

I know that post is 10 days old but anytime I see a Moterhead reference it makes me smile. I'm not as old as I thought.

I just saw IMPD, the promoter, and a vendor walk-through definitely with a purpose. Somebody’s about to get busted.
