Such a helpful and constructive comment. I swear these gunshow naysayers are as bad as anti-gunners anymore, always grouching about something. I'm missing the show this time and I'm a bit bummed about it because I always find a variety of good items at good prices. This is one of the better shows in the state, better than the Indy 1500, and possibly the best "regular" (not once a year) show. Yes, some stuff is overpriced. Yes, there is flea market junk. But there is also a lot of high quality vintage guns and knives at fair prices. Scattered in among all of that, I've always managed to find at least a few unique items (usually ammo or reloading components) at good and sometimes great prices. It has always been worth my time to attend and the people are good people to boot.

Good time to see INGO members from around the state and put names to faces.

I'll be there with a few blades!

I wish it wasn't a 2 hr drive from me. I like to look around at the gun shows even if I don't buy anything.

 

[red0801]

What is the Crown Point show like? Is it similar to the Shipshewana show?

 

[Drakkule]

It's one of my best shows, not super big, nice variation most of the time, very busy normally.

 

[OneHarryMess]

Meh was hoping to make this show, ranch bidness dictates otherwise. This show tends to have some good deals on Stevens firearms, one table run by an older gent is all older firearms at very fair prices.

+1 I think it's a good idea to try out different shows because you just never know what might be there like you said.

GREAT F'ING SHOW! Bought an 8x8x12 box o' magazines, 7 or 8 nice knives, and more s*it too numerous to mention! I've been telling you guys a gun show is a marathon not a sprint! There is good s*it to be found at EVERY show IF YOU JUST L@@K! And there was more that I didn't even get to see!

Nice score!

I was a gun show ninja at this one. I was in line with about 40 people ahead of me. I went straight to the vendor I was looking for, got what I wanted, and left. I did see a lot of new (not usual) vendors this time though, I just didn't have time to shop.

 

[bigretic]

I went late sunday with 2 buddies. saw the new colt 9mm 1911 I want and didn't have the money. f-me. first time I've been to that show with out funds to purchase. I usually find nothing I want. this time I saw 2 or 3 guns I wanted and went home and cried in my beer. both of the guys I went with came home with girl scout cookies... lol

You and me both. I got to listen to a few people talk about the elections and laugh a little. The show was pretty nice.
