Wierder still, I did not see much buying, but I saw a whole lot of people bringing a whole lot of wood-and-blued crap, to put it simply, in hoping to sell it for positively ludicrous prices. Strange weekend.

It is entertaining to see some of the attendees interact in the parking lot.<br /><br />A cold front came through before sunrise so the temperature was in the mid-eighties, the sun was shining, there was a light breeze and the humidity was low. As I write this the temperature has dropped to 67 degrees, something unseen this time of day since last May.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-52672031977753706502012-10-20T16:41:29.747-04:002012-10-20T16:41:29.747-04:00This just in- Obama wins "Gun Salesman of the...This just in- Obama wins "Gun Salesman of the Year" for the 5th year running!Joe in PNGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-27615440833669244432012-10-20T13:48:17.249-04:002012-10-20T13:48:17.249-04:00Please post an after action report on your trainin...Please post an after action report on your training course and have a good time while your there.Sport Pilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862280966739841769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-55280018782994888592012-10-20T13:42:54.288-04:002012-10-20T13:42:54.288-04:00Know the feeling Tam i am suposed to drive up to B...Know the feeling Tam i am suposed to drive up to Bisley 2moro but the cost<br />of the petrol and the cost of getting<br />in to the Trafalgar Meet arms show is<br />giving me second thoughts.Ajdshootisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532597957691648305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-14614197369334792572012-10-20T13:20:04.406-04:002012-10-20T13:20:04.406-04:00Enjoy the training, and sometimes it's just NO...Enjoy the training, and sometimes it's just NOT worth the time/effort to stand in line...Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-73075071128812680412012-10-20T13:06:25.051-04:002012-10-20T13:06:25.051-04:00Everybody sing along!

I've avoided the latest IN1500s just because of the crowds, but I was in Indy yesterday and Friday crowds don't compare with Saturday crowds.<br /><br />Interestingly, I saw the first "booth babe" I've seen at this show at a military wear supplier. She was obviously a hired gun as most female vendors don't go around wearing a molle vest with noting on underneath and haven't enhanced what God gave them. Not that I complained or am complaining, but I just find it noteworthy since I've seen "booth babes" at conventions, but not the IN1500.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16207808793722026516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-68769139617610566942012-10-20T07:58:25.332-04:002012-10-20T07:58:25.332-04:00HAVE FUN AT GUN SCHOOL !
