Which Indiana Gun Show is your favorite?

[gunwh]

Valpoaiso gun show has to be my favorite but Im really interested on the new one in Michigan City at the Blue Chip.

 

[Gunaria]

Whatever one has the best deals on what I want to buy. Whatever one that is, is my current favorite.

I have to agree with you there. If I can actually find some deals worth poppin on then that is my favorite show at the time.

Yeah it's always worth driving a bit to get to a show. Cause it also gives you a chance to explore out of town gun shops too. Make a day of it. If you don't look for deals, you won't find any.

I enjoy the Porter County show. I am going to check out the Blue Chip show this weekend.

 

[Thomas Carey]

I will be at the next 1500 but I really wish it was in a nicer location. That part of Indy not to mention the aging facility. Valpo is nice if you have not been there I suggest it. =) What would you say is the 2nd and 3rd biggest shows after Indy?

 

[rgarner74]

1500. Almost any thing their..

 

[rgarner74]

Been to crown point years ago is it still worth driving up from Indy?

 

[Delmar]

Nappanee

I have only been to Nappanee Ft Wayne and South Bend. South Bend was a waste and I had too pay for parking. Fort Wayne wasn't bad but they didn't have as much stuff as Nappanee. Plus Nappanee is only $3 and free parking! It's also the closest gun show to where I live, so it is the easy winner!

1500 only one i have been to.

Best promoted show in the state. The guys checking in guns don't try and get first dibs. Or call their buddy with the table around the corner. That **** pisses me off and I speak my mind when it happens.

IMO, best show in the state period, always a good time and flooded with INGO members

Nappanee

For me it is the 1500 hands down. Lots to look at and lots of vendors.
Usually we are too busy to always get to walk the show. Which is good and bad.

My second show would be Valpo. Lots to look at there too.

3rd show would be Shippshewana.

Seymour. I've bought and sold more at this show than any other. The five bucks and free parking make it a reasonable trip purely for entertainment purposes.

 

[Syxxthkidd]

I prefer the fort wayne one, but its because i dont have to travel far.

I prefer the fort wayne one, but its because i dont have to travel far.

I'm guessing you haven't been to many other shows.

 

[Syxxthkidd]

The Fort Wayne show at the coliseum is my favorite, but i may be partial because i live here..

 

[Syxxthkidd]

I'm guessing you haven't been to many other shows.

no, not to many. but im getting more into it all the time

 

[rgarner74]

If you go to a show in louisville ky, can you still buy guns even thought u may live in indiana?

 

[phil]

no, not to many. but im getting more into it all the time

You'll really have to make the drive for the Shipshe show and the Nappannee show.

Nappannee is the end of Oct and Shipshe is beginning of Nov.

These are both great shows and they really aren't too far from the Ft.

I have only been to a few different locations multiple times.

Indy 1500
Stout Field
Franklin
Martinsville

My favorite is Stout field. Had a good amount of items and at good prices. Wasn't overcrowded. The 1500 is the devil, but I keep going back when I have something I need. I never go just to shop around. there has to be a purpose.

 

[other dave]

Nappanee definitely

 

[tranders]

I've only been to Lafayette and Tipton. Prefer Tipton.
