I spent all afternoon at the show and had a great time! But even when you don't buy a gun or other major purchase, it's amazing how a couple hundred bucks will still just evaporate... it's like, where the hell did it all go exactly?

Exactly!

Ahhh, the first gun show.. The next phase of your initiation is now complete.


Another one of my favorite stops at the 1500 is the book vendor with many long tables of gun esoterica, parallel history accounts, extra terrestrial-inspired political theory, subversive economic doctrine; instructions on improvised explosives, suppressors, full-auto conversion, poisons and worlds-end radio transmission; field guides on Psy-ops, home perimeter detection, caching and resource preparation, emergency surgery procedures, body and corpse disposal, genetically-selective re-population, sexual spiritualism (or was it spiritual sexualism?), ancient methods of invisibility, ninja craft, alchemy, dimensional shifting, cyber security hardening and countermeasures, exploitation of public data bases, establishment of new or alternate identities, field power generation, food preservation, terraforming; and my favorite area of interest about how to 'disappear and melt away' off the radar of government, family or anyone else. Basically, I trust my dog.

It's really hard to choose the greater of the two greatest amendments - first and second.

One of them helps guarantee the other, so it's not left to the discretion of a government.

Pretty sure I walked past Cory and Erika today at the 1500. By the time I realised, they were gone in the crowd.

It was pretty busy today but my dad and I both found some minor things we were looking for.

 

[Fenway]

You did

Overpriced - way overpriced.

No Mini-Draco's, but there were a lot of M92 PAP pistols. They are a little shorted than a Draco but bigger than a mini.

[Miles42]

Considered it but think this is over priced. Wonder how the final attendance figures will add up?

I'll be driving through Indy tom. from I-65 to 465 then to I-70.. Where is this show located? anywhere near? and what should i expect?..

North east side of the city. Indiana State Fairgrounds. 38th and Fall Creek road
Probably 20-30 minutes out of your way each way if your going west on 70, but easy side trip if your going east

 

[whitetailbowhunter]

I will have to check it out! Thanks for the info!
