This weekend is the gunshow in Indianapolis. If my back doesn't go out and if it doesn't snow deeply, I'm going. Anybody else? 
The last Indy gunshow I went to was last summer. It was pretty nice. (Prices are generally better at the Louisville shows though.) However, I need some ammo and new grips for my Jetfire, so those prices should be OK. (I KNOW the ammo price will be better. It pays to have a good friend from THR who just "happens" to be selling the RBCD in 9MM & .38 Special which I need.)
At the last Indy show I attended a thing happened that should NOT have. Two men and a woman were looking at .38 Special J-Frames. I got the impression that the revolver was going to be a carry gun for the woman. She'd pick up one with a hammer and "heft" it, then she'd pick up a Centennial model and try "the feel" that one out. I stopped to watch. It's always nice to see a woman (or MAN) pick the "right" firearm. But then she decided to have a look at another table. So she *PITCHED* the J-Frame she was holding down on TOP of the other J-Frames! Just like it was a piece of fruit at the market! It landed with a sickening click-clank-click. The seller didn't see or hear. A nice experience immediately turned sour--and I walked on. How can someone treat another person's property (or ANY property) like that? SOOooo disrespectful to the revolver. And, very bad manners to boot.
