What I noticed at the Indy 1500 Gun Show today

To battle the stinkies one needs to rub a lttle bacon grease under their nose.

I would of guessed the pop corn booth was the party responsible. The smoke was fairly thick there for most of Friday.

???? I have'nt been to the 1500 for a while and there may be family restrooms and or unisex (i dont recall them) and yes some men should use better aim ! if that restroom was dirty why didnt you take him into the womens it is probably about a 99.5% bet that men didnt pee on that floor!
Just Saying!

Maybe I didn't look hard enough but all I saw were unisex bathrooms and companion bathrooms at both ends. If I had saw a ladies room, that's where I would have went. The handicap/companion bathrooms were the worst and none of the bathrooms had a changing table.

There were definitely more women than I expected to see at a gun show. Me and my friend both brought our wives along and they seemed to be more excited than we were. They both got their first guns yesterday

I noticed alot of 1911s, which is always a good thing.

 

[Yeah]

I was dragged to the 1500 today and the only outstanding thing I noticed was that half the people in the place seem to feel they need to wear a backpack to the thing.

What possible purpose grown men could have to bring that quantity of storage space to a gun show entirely escapes me. I've been on week long hunting trips and packed less than some of these guys.

It is to carry the things you buy

Much easier to carry around large items and ammo between the isle with a pack back of some sort.

I don't take one but could see how it would make life easier at the 1500.

Loved the hotties with bodies. It's hooterific.

And I am sure you also took a van that had a sign offering free candy haha.


I did notice quite a bit more ladies there Saturday then in past trips.

Backpacks work great. I bought several things and I didn't have to hold them the whole time, keeping my hands free to coonfinger all the guns. Plus, if you set your bag down to look at something, it could be gone in 2 seconds and you'll never see it again.

Just because you South Africans have mastered telekinesis does not mean you have to cut on us. This is America and we have guns to sell, guns to buy and gear to haul around with us.

We haul our stuff around and cannot use the power of our minds like y'all, geez.

<------- guilty on the backpack. But in my defense it was not camo. And it did come in handy for reasons already mentioned. Free hands at the gun show are a good thing.

I overheard a lady telling her gentleman escort "If one more dealer offers me a pink gun, I'm gonna scream". Thought that was funny.
As to the backpack. I emptied mine twice throughout the day. Worth it's weight in gold at the gun show. Only time I use one.

 

[Yeah]

It may well be a cultural thing. At the Tulsa show, which is maybe 5 times the size of the 1500, I don't recall any backpacks.

Or maybe I was just backpack sensitive this weekend.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Well, that explains a lot.

In Indiana BOB stands for Bug Out Bag; in Oklahoma BOB is someone's first name.
