Who was the big dude who stopped in yesterday and commented on jorts?

25 bucks to get in the door and allot of empty tables inside.

$25? Ok, I haven't been to a 1500 since 2015 but I know I didn't pay $25 then. $10 to park and $15 to get in?

 

[indyjohn]

He has a hearing aid shop in, I believe, Roachdale. I’ll dig around and see if I can find his card.

Bainbridge. I have his card too somewhere.

Yeah I'm guessing that's what he meant. It was $10 to park for all events, and $15 to get into the show. Sucks that there is no re-entry. Buddy of mine forgot his handgun in the car, didn't want to walk the 10 minutes roundtrip in the cold AND pay another $15 to get back in.

 

[rutheborger]

I bought a S&W 5943 from the Chicago PD at that dealer. They also have some Lebanon PD marked Glock 43's for sale.

I'm going to their shop on Wednesday to pick one up. Might also pick up a Remington 870. They are from the Illinois State Police

There was one 870 on the table that looked almost out of the box. Had I enough cash I would have picked it up right there and then.

They will stamp your hand for reentry

...and he was right

No. He was not. He is a poly hack.

Made it thru the "super spreader" event and still feeling fine. Had Rona in 19 and wasn't a big deal so I wasn't too worried about Delta, Omicron, or the flavor of the month. Deals weren't bad depending on what you are looking for. Vintage firearms seen to be a bit overpriced lately, but that's everywhere.
I never listened to Fauci to begin with. Why anyone would look to the person who helped develop the virus for advice about surviving it is not the brightest.

I was hoping to find a stripped lower for $50. There weren’t any. So I came home. Had a good time with a friend I haven’t seen in months though so that was worth the price of admission aline

Good to have known

What prices did you see on stripped spike tactical lowers? Haven't seen one in any shops for over a yr now

 

[bobzilla]

Same prepackaged lowers ranged from $99 to $59

What dealer is that? I'm a sucker for police trade ins.

I collect them to. Acme Sports in Seymour, Indiana

 

[phatgemi]

I'd like to share that with a friend who contracted covid during his family's Thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately, he died a couple of weeks later. Several other family members were also infected; fortunately they survived.

Are you not paying attention, or being willfully ignorant?

what was their vaccination status????

Yep, Acme has a good supply of trade-ins. I think they get a lot from Kieslers.

I stopped by looking for you to say hi. The conversation with the other 2 guys drifted to talking about wearing shorts in this kind of weather.

 

[bobzilla]

Laugh now, until someone you care about dies from a largely preventable disease.

What was the positive count last week? 12k in one day, IIRC. That's a heck of a lot of data points. Go ahead, ignore science at your own peril. The facts are real, whether or not you choose to accept them.

And you guys have answered my question - you ARE being willfully ignorant. If you went to college, you should request a refund of your tuition.

Flame away - I'm done - can't save you from your own stupidity.

It’s not your ****ing job to save me. I’ve already had it (twice now in 21 months). Not likely to be much of an issue and if it is so ****ing be it. Spread your fear porn somewhere else.
