Indy 1500 26-28 Feb 2021

[KellyinAvon]

My arrival time was at 1420 hours and seen the line before entering the fair grounds so I did a u-turn on 38th and went back home. My belly was full of MCL fried catfish, coleslaw, and broccoli and ready to shop for knives ...

That sounds like a pretty good plan there, this is CRAZY!

TallenD stopped by.

I just met cldedhnds (cold dead hands) A minute ago also.

What time does the fairgrounds parking open in the morning? I was thinking about getting there at 07:30 to get a place in line.

0730 is the best we can figure. Tomorrow show starts at nine

AllenM and Debbie were by a minute ago.

I saw what I could only describe as, extras from The Goonies.

Revolver tactical a.k.a. Brad of Brad’s knives is in the center of the pavilion towards the south end..

Him and your booth would be the only reason I would come out. AA Optics no longer attends. Wendel sold Indy Laser. Indy John and Okie girl are no longer involved. Ingo is a no go on a booth.

That gives me the sads.

Ok, tomorrow morning, first four people who bump the thread after 0730, I have four $4 off 2 tickets coupons.

Usually I can go just before tax season starts, but this year it got pushed back to mid season. There was no way for me to go.
But when I saw the line pic, I'm not too upset about it.

Looking forward to 1400 at the 1500 (see what I did there?) I'm hoping to for a lot of HB 1369 questions. The more we can get emailing, writing, and calling the better. A force multiplier if you will...

Stop by the NRA/NRA-ILA/Indiana State Rifle and Pistol Association (ISRPA) Booth and give me a yell. I'm the younger one with a distinguished grey beard.

If you see me scribbling down your username it's so I won't forget to bump the thread.

More to follow...

I passed by your booth, but I didn't see anyone with a grey beard. I figured maybe you were out roaming.

I got there at 1:40 when the line was all the way down to 38th and halfway back up. Got in the doors right around 3:00. Picked up an AR-10 and some targets. Glad I went.

Do vendors take cards or is it strictly cash?

Congrats on your loot, wish I'd have been there when you passed by. I am known to wander off and drag back some loot myself. Moon-clips, PMAGs, and malted milkballs.

Most take booth from what I've seen.

I saw a bone stock $1500 Smith and Wesson AR, a ksg for the bargain price of $1700, and multiple $1000 stock Glocks. Sure felt like they overemphasized the knife part of the gun and knife show. There was easily a knife booth for every gun booth in the building.

I went looking for a Chiappa Rhino and saw exactly 0.

 

[citizenkane]

I had considered going but got stuck at work late. From the sounds of it I guess I should be thankful.

 

[Johnman98]

Me and the guys I went with got in line at 2:10. It took roughly an hour to get inside.

Man, thats even worse than I imagined it would be for prices. I almost wanna go now just to see the crazy.

Me too. I really enjoyed it back in the day.

Edit: Best guess this is Spring and Fall 2013.

It was bad but I did feel good watching multiple women of color exercising their 2a rights and buying Dracos and assorted AK variants. They're men were so polite and stood back and held their purse.
