How long did everybody wait in line?

[Degtyaryov]

I wanted to go today, but when I got there the line was longer than just about anything I'd ever seen before. I decided against standing for hours in the cold for a chance to get in, but what about all of you who went? Was it really as bad as I thought?

 

[phatgemi]

I got there at 1230. Line was back to main entrance gate on 38th starting to wrap around building. There was still a long line when I left at 530. Oh I got in at 238

 

[IUprof]

I got there at 1:45 and the line was past the grandstand...turned around and left. Insane!

 

[ScottyD]

I arrived at 2:30, waited in traffic until 3. When I got to the gate I was told they weren't letting anyone else in until people left and the expected wait was 4 hours. I turned around and went home. Pretty bummed as I really wanted an XDm or a Glock.

I was right there with phatgemi, we got there right around 12 and was in the door 20 or so minutes after 2pm.
it was a waste of time for the most part, I did sell two pistols though!

 

[spitfire51]

Got there at 5, got in at 6

Got there at 5, got in at 6

unless you had someone holding a place for you in line, this wasn't possible. I dropped the hubby and my son off at 5:15 at the front gate. The line was from the door, along 38th street to the main entrance and half way back to the round about on the other side, along 38th street the line was at least 5 or 6 guys wide. He called me 30 minutes later to come back and get him and the line was still just as long and he said it wasn't moving much at all. Thankfully he was just selling and didn't have to go in.

Got in line about 12:10. Probably in by 2:30

 

[brianheeter]

I got into the line at 1:10. I was in the door at 3:00. The line was...breathtaking. Just under two hours standing in line. Good thing the sun was shining, the wind was fairly calm and temperature was as high as it was.

Got there at 5, got in at 6

It took me an hr and ten minutes. I too got n line at 5 sharp. I thought the line moved quick. Line was on backside of building halfway down

 

[88E30M50]

I got there around 4:20. The line was down 38th, then back almost to the round about. Just after 5, we got to the corner of the building at 38th. By then, the sun was setting and the wind was picking up. We called it quits and went to get something hot to drink.

 

[Buck69]

Arrived at 1:45 and in the door at a little after 4:00

 

[10Forward]

Got there right about 12:15, got in about 2:20...

 

[PapaScout]

Got there around 5:15 and was turned away. Wouldn't even let us park due to a 4 hour wait.

 

[Sedanman]

I arrived at 2:45p it took 20 minutes to get to the gate (3:05) where they told me they were not letting anyone else in and turned us around.

 

[longbarrel]

2 hours 7 minutes. I must be dumb!

 

[jbell_64]

Arrived at 1:45 and in the door at a little after 4:00

Must have been just a few people behind ya

 

[beardedbrodel]

Got there at 1:30. On the door at 3:45. The long line was due to the entry bottleneck. They needed to sell tux outside so you didn't have to wait in line to buy a ticket before checking guns.

 

[Rocket]

I got there at 1pm and made it in the door at 3:20. I was in alley next to front of Pepsi Coliseum in front of West Pavilion. Actually wasn't too bad. Had some good conversations. I hopefully convinced a few people to join INGO. we played "how much do you think He wants for that?"

 

[Lep36]

We got there at 1:30, left at 1:31. I have been to a lot of stuff at the fairgrounds, including past GS and have never seen a line that long. Might try again Sat.
