Good time to arrive Saturday?

[The-Last-Round]

if I get there at 6am, how many miles away will I have to park and wait in line?

 

[cbko4]

I don't know but I'm thinking about showing up that early too.

 

[PriestEG]

i would say that would put you in the first 1500 people, if there is a similar turnout as today. i got in line at 1215 and was on the back side of the building as the line wrapped around completely, and them down the road past the pepsi colosium

 

[Rookie]

I'd get in line tonight.

 

[Bunnykid68]

I would go the Saturday next weekend

At 6AM? Right behind me! Watch out: I always eat beans for Saturday breakfast.

 

[Tactical Dave]

I'd get in line tonight.

You sir are wise beyond your years.

 

[Pinchaser]

If you're not going to get there until 6am, you'd be better off leaving your vehicle in Bloomington and walking to the show....

 

[mistap]

Now. Get in line now.

 

[dubsac]

Now. Get in line now.

ID say 6

If you want to go to breakfast, I'll be at Cafe Patachou at 49th and Penn. (Kirk in Broad Ripple? Shocking).

I have little doubt that the line for the Indy1500 will be right past the door of the restaurant.

 

[Drake.45]

I'm thinking I'd be better to park in my driveway and walk and be closer

 

[Drake.45]

Can anyone tell me what it the earliest time they open the gates?

 

[Tactical Dave]

Can anyone tell me what it the earliest time they open the gates?

This weekend I'd say early.... 6am would be a conservative guess...

 

[Drake.45]

So what time do they open the doors for the show? If I arrived at 6 how long would I wait outside?

 

[Reapermaxx]

Is there enough parking on site for the show? What building is the show in?

 

[stesco]

Thinking I will sleep in visit a couple of LGS and maybe do a little plinking. Still will be home before a 6 AM visit to the line and wait at the 1500.

 

[Nitehunter500]

Will there be a place to park at 6am its a 2hr drive

So....free gun show before the gun show?

That would save me the entry fee and the bother of looking around vendor tables at kel-tecs and whatnot.

You can arrive at 6:00 a.m. I would say just to be safe, come then. If not, you might be turned away It will be warmer tomorrow, but it will be cold in the morning. (and windy) Unless you get right in line that early you will probably have at least an hour wait. So you won't be inside until 9:00 earliest. If you wait until 10:00, it will be much warmer, but the crowd will no doubt be much larger. It took over 2 hours today, and have never had to wait on a Friday before. Tomorrow will be a huge mess no doubt. Good luck to all who are going to brave it. Bring a thermos with warm liquid of some kind. Take a **** before you get in line, and be patient. There are more AR's than expected to see, but they are very high priced. Ammo is $1 a round. 90 cents was as cheap as I saw. (Tula metal cased fmj's) Long guns are not near as prevalent as in the past, and there are no .224 projectiles of any type anywhere. Wheel guns were not as cheap as thought going in. Semi-auto handguns were there, but very mixed in pricingl. Primers are around, but for the most part $40 is as cheap as you can find. Ammo in general is very high. Glock mags and all high cap mags are ridiculously priced. P mags were $40 a piece. Good luck. There were no real deals on anything "black gun" but you might find something.
