Indy Auto Show

[mshogren]

For anyone looking at going to the Indy Auto Show and was wondering about security...there were no metal detectors or anyone even checking people or bags. Just a guy taking tickets.

I went unarmed not knowing what to expect. Had I known, I would have carried. Did not want to risk it being a couple blocks from the car to the door.

Thanks for the heads up. I go every year and have never had an issue but wondered how security would be with recent events.

Thanks for the heads up, having been before I assumed there wouldn't be any security but that would be my luck when I get there this year.

I always call around to the local car dealers until I find one with tickets, I have never paid to go.

I went today and as the OP stated, no screening at all. I was pocket carrying a small 9mm. The main reason for pocket carry today was that it's easier when getting in and out of 50 cars to pocket carry than to worry about my shirt riding up over my normal OWB carry.

Same here, pocket carry, small 9mm. It's a lot more comfortable than jumping in and out of cars that I can't afford with a belt holster.

Were the cars worth it? Can't find any previews or list of vehicles.

Thanks for the info. Planning on going Wednesday myself.

Its the same vehicles that can be seen at the local dealers, nothing special or high end.

It's mostly the new 2016 models from each manufacturer, with a few concepts or specialty vehicles thrown in. I like looking at all of the new models without being bugged by a salesman, and being indoors and well lit is always nice.

I attended last night with my step-son and his fiancee', and pocket carried a 9mm SIG. Several nice models were on display as well as a few nice cars.

They offer free admittance to both active duty and retired military as well as several other categories, so that was nice. Loved the new Ford King Ranch, but at $68K, I think I will just continue to drive my 2010 Lariat.

This is why I quit going. It's pretty much just a dealership show.

To give them credit the last two years we have went Ford has had the test drive deal where you go test drive any Ford vehicle you like and Ford sends you a $50 visa card, with me and my wife going that is $100 for free, last year O stopped at a dealer on my way and grabbed a couple free tickets although I waited till the last second this year and they were all out still a good deal anyway I look at it, had a decent time and allowed my 3 year old something to do instead of sitting in the house all day on christmas break.
