I didn't see this listed here, but what are the rules there about carrying weapons? Is it allowed or is it like most gun shows that require you to unload??

I'm going to try very hard and stay off my high horse on this one.

Like gun shows, they do ask that you don't carry loaded, untie at the gate and zip tie for the show.

Now, having said that , if you want some laughs, go ask this question on the NFA discussion on subguns.com. IMO, the problem is they use a number of local residents as security, while admirable for helping the local economy, the little bit of power these guys get, goes straight to their heads, again, just my opinion.

I agree, you need to have a secure facility especially with the number of people, firearms, etc.etc. I don't have a problem with that. What I and so very many others have problems with are the ones who really let this small bit of power go to their heads, in fact, I know of several shooters that will never set foot on the property thanks to the idiot security people there.

I would recommend either leaving the firearm in your vehicle, or have it unloaded, out, action open, stock towards them so they can see it's open and let them zip tie it when you get to the gate.

As I understand the story, and if anyone knows the correct version, the reason for the restrictions on ATV's, noone can sign up new to bring an ATV, golf cart, whatever, is that a few years back some of the valiant young men, were bravely defending and protecting the helpless citizens at the MG shoot and were racing their ATV's in the parking lot. A person showed up, and as he opened his car door to get out of his vehicle, it was hit straight on by one of these fools on his ATV, taking the door off, I had heard it was a Lincoln or some high dollar car.

Like I said,only my opinion, if there are drawbacks to Knob Creek, they would be the moronic security people, the awful food, and when present mud.

This is just my opinion, been there every time since April 1992, don't see stopping anytime soon, others may differ and disagree, their opinion.

I think I'm going to have to go to this thing! If my wife can live without it for a day, I'll have a 15 passenger van. I'll check back when we get closer to the event to let you know if the van option shakes out. We would most certainly stay for the night event.

Check out this video: It is titled as an accident, but the guy looks ok. I wonder if it was staged?

Which Knob Creek is it? There are about 5 in Indiana.

I would offer to take people, but I camp out there. I'm usually there on Friday and Saturday. I've been going for 19 years or so in the spring and fall. I wouldn't miss it.

[sticks4walking]

I will be there with my boy, we will camp Sat. night maybe even Fri. night as well. Is everyone going to meet up somewhere? If so where and when?

[Boilers]

Health-willing, I have put this on my calendar. And invited some other (non-INGO) folks.

Tagging this for subscription/to check later.

Sorry guys, I have been offline for awhile with a nasty virus. (yes, probably from a website I shouldn't have been on!!).

I am totally game for everyone getting together in one spot. I have only been once, so lets hear suggestions on a location on the grounds. Also, lets make it mid day so everyone (including late shift workers) have a chance to get down there.

Lets start with a location.

Are the campsites onsite or a short walk? Maybe a campsite would work for a quick lunch BBQ?
