Anyone shop at Indy Trading Post?

[Ingomike]

maybe we shouldn't be saying these negative things about these kinds of gun shops, we're only hurting the cause

The lack of understanding of the situations faced by gun stores trying to survive and serve lower income areas is astounding. I agree completely with the thinking that I am not showing ID to go in or purchase accessories but if that is what the business has to do to survive in a tough location it is short sighted to criticize them and or celebrate their going out of business. I will not go to those stores, but I also will not say negative things about their policy as there are folks who likely depend on these shops and do not have the mobility to shop around as most of us do. This ain’t in the boondocks…

"yes" to what? Yes to unnecessary background checks?

Ignorant customers.

Yeah. Background check for a magazine.

Ha-ha .... too funny ! (I'm living in my childhood home too).
Heck no. No westsider here. I graduated from Southport H.S., longer ago than I care to remember.

Alright, we'd better knock it off, DD, before someone tells us "get a room" !

Uh you guys get a room OK.

I had 1 "Good" experience in that store and the rest were very poor.
Ingo lower I bought came through there and the owner wrote me up. Great guy. I had met him outside the store once.
Decided to stop in and shop. Was looking for my next 1911 project. The young man behind the counter was on his phone and just not to be bothered with questions.

Waiting on an Ingo member to do a FTF deal in the lot next door (old K-mart..??) I went inside again with a 1911 in mind. Different guy same thing. Face in the phone. I asked about 1911's he just pointed obviously not enthused to help possibly make an $800 sale. I saw a used Springer in the case and asked to see it. The stooge replied with if you are buying OK. But we don't let the guns get fondled.
At which time i turned towards the door as I was flipping him off. I am sure it was on the security footage.

Makes me wonder what the real reasons they closed. CS is all important in a LGS.

Yep! Both my sisters went to Southport (I'm living in my childhood home). I went to Perry Meridian though. For some reason I thought you were a west sider!

78 for me. We were the first class to go through all 4 years at the high school (everyone before us transferred from Southport for the most part).

Don died you know.

Don died you know.

Yep. I know.

And I heard he sold his share of the shop.

oh...that's one of the best things for that area.

i stopped there about 3 yrs ago and was treated like a nuisance.

 

[grillak]

they said he died in 2016.

i could've sworn i saw him last summer

Same. Id go in to browse when I lived in the extreme NE corner of Hendricks co. I was smart enough to buy at Galyans or make the drive down to Bradis. I only used him when I needed range time.

My favorite was his sign on the counter: If you found it cheaper somewhere else, go buy it there. I dont care.

The shop stayed open under new management for a while and may still be. I have not gone by there in a while.

Well, he DID (does?) have ties to the mafia...

 

[KG1]

Hopefully they buried Don 12 ft under just to make sure.

 

[skydelta34]

Yeah, their clientele had started getting sketchy in the past few years, but still nowhere near as bad as KS&E out at Pendleton Pike and Post Rd.. Yikes. They're no longer in business either.

Are they really out of business or just reduced hours. I thought they were only open Saturdays.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Last I heard they went out of business. Some kind of tax issues I thought.

yeah. that sign cracked me up. i never bought anything from him. he just seemed soooo shady.

i just called. the guy says they're open 7 days a week. 10a - 5p.

i asked him if they still sell pizzas with anchovies...he hung up
