Interesting. The same weekend as the South Bend show at the St. Joe Couny Fairgrounds?

 

[mdemetz]

Yes though the Shipshewana show is a Fri-Sat show and the South Bend show is a Sat-Sun show(with an auto parts swap&show on Sun).

I will be good for the Amish, they do not shop on Sunday anyway. And many aren't working on Fridays either, even then most lines at the RV factories are done by 2:00 pm.

Are the Amish packing heat?

Very doubtful, but they do buy handguns for hunting and use around the farm.

Interesting. I would have thought their pacifist nature would not allow them to own firearms, hence my suprise there is a gun show up in Shipshewana since that is the heart of Amish country in northern Indiana

Shipshewana is my new favorite word.

The Amish own weapons, for hunting mainly as stated above. I have seen them in gun-shops in my area many times. Some have the fine old Winchester rifles and won't sell them.

They are very avid hunters. Also, firearms are used for butchering.

The Glock Doc is coming up North for a couple shows if you need your glock worked on or parts for it. He will be at the Shipshewana Gun Show Nov 3 & 4 and also at the Michigan City Gun & Knife show at the Blue Chip Casino on November 17 & 18.

My father in law was Amish up till he was 16. He grew up around there, you would be surprised how many Amish have guns. Haha

Not really, I live in the area and know lots and lots of Amish, maybe even your inlaws family!

Bit of sa downturn this time. No line, not crowded as usual, some empty tables.
