Indy 1500: 9-11 September

[akrylov]

No metal detectors. When you come in you'll be ask if you have a firearm. If you say yes it needs to be unloaded, (clearing barrel outside the entrance) and you'll present it to a uniformed Police Officer. They will put a zip-tie on it and hand it back.

As a vendor (I work a booth, same/same) I can't have a loaded firearm in my possession. Mine will be secured in my vehicle.

There is a significant Police presence at the 1500. I've never been concerned about safety, with that said we (those of us in the NRA/NRA-ILA/ISRPA booth) maintain a level of SA. The comments I post about what I see? Those are from being observant

"I've never been concerned about safety"
aha I was thinking like that too. I heard a loud shot in the middle of the building on Friday, I may guess someone dropped round and it exploded

No, it was a ND by a vendor.

I saw a lot of plate carriers go out the door. Some had plates in them.

Some prices at the gun show were good, but some of the Milsurp prices were laughable.

First time back in about 7 years, looked all around, ended up ordering a pistol for my wife from the shop I always buy them from that happened to be at the show.

All went as expected except for the parking fiasco. Won’t go into it but I just as well parked on the other side of the track only to walk past 500 empty spots. Parking folks cursing and screaming at people. Take that away and all was good.

My son and I went on Sunday… With parking and entrance fees it was $40.00 just to get in.

Yeah, Thats a no-go for me. that $25 just to walk in the door pretty much erases any deal I can find. The last couple I went to the deals werent that good, and I couldnt imagine recouping that $25, even if I left with my arms full. (or even back when it only cost 15 or 20)

Even people watching isnt worth THAT much.

Went on the worst day, by day three all the getting is got. $25 got me in the door and saved me $250 and put $500 more in my pocket. Even then for the right deal $25 is less than the transfer fee at my local shop.
