INDIANAPOLIS - The Indy 1500 Gun and Knife Show opens Friday amidst the growing debate over tighter gun control.
Dave Mouradian, who owns a supply store just outside Detroit, arrived Thursday afternoon at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
It's his 13th consecutive Indy 1500 Gun and Knife show. He's just one of 250 vendors from across the Midwest who says that interest is high and business is booming.
"People that never owned a firearm are now buying their very first one," Mouradian said. "We've seen more ladies going out and getting their concealed weapons permits. They're feeling unsafe. And a lot of people that have put off buying what they want are now coming out because they're afraid they may not be able to get it in the next day or two." ....
While all retail gun sales require the buyer to undergo a background check, Indiana law does not require a background check for gun sales between private individuals.
State Rep. Vernon Smith, D-Gary, has tried to close the so-called loophole for years.
"Indiana has become a spawning ground for everybody to come and buy guns," Smith said. "We must close that loophole."

It was born of the same ideals, but is a fugly bugger.
bflr
Snake shot?
I spent $90 on 100 Sellier & Bellot .22 Hornet 45gr. on Tuesday. I didn’t know their inventory had thinned to shot rounds only. I have no idea what I’m getting or if it’s any good — though it is better than nothing!
Thats the best I could do.
Snake shot and .17 HMR is all they show on the web page now.
I am sure your order will be honored.
I’ve seen grown men weep when they learn what I paid for my Springfield. Bought it from a guy in the middle of a divorce. I gave him $500 dollars for it.
Grin....
Oh you bastage! LOL
I have always wanted an M1A.
I am kinda partial to the .308
The problem now is ammo.
Where to find .308 ammo under $2 a rd?
The MagPul 20rnd mags work great on my belt rig.
Easy to get to and don’t get in the way as much as 30rnd mags. I use the 30rnd mags in my chest rig.
Sorry, I was thinking about the BM 49 rifle and didn’t see the FN part.
This site says they have 31 boxes in stock of what I bought earlier this week:

I hate the way 30’s get in the way.
You’re good to go!
I have never shot .22 Hornet centerfire.
Oh, and you know when you walk into Walmart and every time the ammo shelves are empty? Yea, the guy who is hoarding it all will be there too with tables piled with Walmart ammo for triple the price he paid for it.
My advice is avoid gun shows like the plague... unless of course you are looking for something obscure. You usually won't find what you are looking for, but you can make contacts to help you locate things.
I bought a near brand new Colt Ar-15 HBAR... maybe had 20 rounds through it for 600 bucks, came with 400 rounds of ammo, 15 30rd mags and a softcase. To this day, every time I see that guy he wants to throw rocks at me.
Also bought a 70 series 1911 from a buddy a few years back for 300 bucks. I swear, I even offered to just loan him the money instead, but he insisted so I bought the gun. He occasionally reminds me of the bad dreams he has about giving it up so cheap... then I remind him he's the one sitting on my back porch and drinking my beer. hahaa
I know where you can get a Garand in .308, new barrels, new wood, good specimens. PM me for info... it’s not a huge secret, but I’d rather not post it for googlers
Were you able to get an order in?
I have not ordered any ammo.
