    Didn't get to go. :tantrum: Did the responsible thing and was in charge of keeping all four kids corralled. So we did science projects in the back yard and erupted a volcano.

    I have a growing need to visit my LGS, and in a hurry. Need a good shooting glove, need to coon finger an M&P 45c and an XDM (yes, I know, I know, I know...it's not a Smith and not especially attractive, but it felt good in the hand). LOL...that may have had something to do with why IndyJohn would NOT give me his vendor pass...

    I picked up an obsolete Indianapolis Police badge, silver with no eagle...very cool. I have been collecting badges for over a decade now, and have never come across one...awesome catch. The same guy had two more, but they were the eagle-topped gold shields and I already have a good example of that badge. I wanted to pick up all three, but wallet wouldn't allow it.

    Sleeping bag for son & his winter campouts (from IndyJohn), 2 ruger lc9 mags for wife, more jerky, cheap reflex sight for son's ruger 10/22.

    Son used allowance to buy these two knives, and a ten trillion dollar from zimbabwe lol. Wife is not amused, but at least he has fun.
    Barrel of monkeys just happened to be sitting there, so I included them for JetGirl.

    I got a new scope from Alan. He was definitely hard to find, but we tracked him down.

    I got an INGO t-shirt and 3 boxes of 300 Savage ammo. Was negotiating hard on a Winchester Model 12, but we couldn't get it done.

    A couple of INGO T-shirts for $5/ea, and an INGO sweatshirt. Spikes stripped lower.

    Dad got a couple of magazines and one of those lock picker kits with a how-to video.

    A couple of $7 italian sausages and $3 pepsis. A good time was had by all.

    I bought a couple of ammo cans, and did two INGO transactions.
    That was it for me. I hadn't been to a 1500 in quite some time, didn't realize how many NON-GUN tables there are these days.
    Don't want to take away from the topic of this thread, but I thought it was a gun and knife show.

    I did stop by the INGO booth as well and visited with Churchmouse.
    All in all a pretty good time for me, I think the key for me to enjoy these shows is to not go to one for a while.

    Found some Remington 30 carbine at a reasonable price, and a $5.00 recoil spring for my Inland M1 carbine. (Who sez there are no bargains to be found at the 1500? Sure felt like one to me!)
    What I didn't find was the INGO booth. I was rushing, moving fairly fast yesterday, (The ladies were tired and the granddaughter was restless) but I still wonder if you guys were hiding from me....

    I sold three pistols at the show (some of you probably saw me), but couldn't find a S&W M&P 340 to buy. Instead, I only bought an INGO hat and a hamburger. This is definitely the first time that I've walked out with more money than I've walked in with :cool:

    ...I still can't believe my INGO hat was less expensive than the hamburger, though.

    I got me a Just Right Carbine in 9mm and a 31 Glock mag. A couple of INGO stickers and a $3 Mt dew. Good times around. Make a mental note: Dote wear a leather jacket next time. lol
