Updates? Pics?

Never seen a gun show before?

No pics. I got there at 10am. Maybe 20 Protestors outside gate. Just a few with poster boards. They had wooden crosses out there......for sale. Thought it was a protest, not a craft show. I left at noon and they were all gone. Show was absolutely slam packed

I never really saw the protesters. We got there before them at 0800 and left after they were gone. Went through the show real quick before heading back home and didn't really see anything interesting.

Hopefully tomorrow is the same non-issue.

The pictures make it look like a lot more than 20 protesters.

Duh

The protesters or the crosses?

The protesters or the crosses?

Protesters, crosses, and cops. All gone. There was probably just as many cops there as protesters. I should've took a head count, but yes they use the pics in a way to make it seem larger than it was. If I'm short on my estimate of 20, its not by much.
Think its pretty bad too When they couldn't even stay to promote their cause for more than 3 hours.

I wonder how many were paid actors?
Who went to the premeeting at the church to get intel on this

 

[Butch627]

Any media type people there recording things?

I wanted to go to the church on Wednesday and check it out but work has been so hectic i worked 12 hour days all week and didn't make it. I wanted to at least see if there was a bunch of cars in the lot, but judging by what i seen at the protest there couldn't of been to many

I didnt see any news channels. Apparently NWI times was there due to the posting of the story up thread.

From the looks of it....they probably needed to go get breakfast, lunch and maybe even dinner.

I walked to the gate and counted 23 people standing by the signs. They were very well behaved and every so often a car or two would honk. The State police did a very nice job protecting show goers and protesters, they were telling gun show attendees to park to the left and all others to park to the right. We didn't mingle or cross paths with the protesters and everyone was safe and free to do their own thing. Very proud of all Hoosiers for doing what they wanted on a nice Saturday morning at Crown Point without getting national news media attention. If every protest was done like they did in Crown Point today the two sides might actually have a chance at resolving their differences.

I must have just missed them. Maybe they will have more after church tomorrow.

They are supposed to be there from 1-3 tomorrow. I wondered why the later times, but I forgot that there's such a thing as church.

I went and wore my INGO shirt. I saw the same others did; about 20 protesters. There were 2 counter protesters whose sign said to honk if you love guns or something to that effect. There was lots of honking.
The protesters were there long enough to get their pictures in the paper and score some killer protesting selfies! They'll share them next week at the pro planned parenthood rally. Gotta build their cred!
The show itself was packed. I could barely get down the aisles. I got suckered in to two boxes of girl scout cookies but nothing else.
