NWI INGO General Post - Part 11

[WILSON]

Some deals & some rip offs. The $20 for 100 rounds of CCI .22lr was one of the biggest laughs.

That's also been my experience with that show. Erratic prices, but with a little patience I've always been able to find a few gems buried in the junk.

I bought a NIB SLR-95 and two SLP-93's for $700 total while they passed the $500-mark (around 1998; the '94 AWB panic was still going strong). This was from the tall guy who used to tent several tables along the East wall in the main room (a few months after his first heart attack; haven't seen him in at least a decade or so...).

My "worst experience" there was when I sold a NIB SS Mini-14 for $200.

FYI Hobart residents, Mondell field on Wisconsin between W. Cleveland Ave and W. Home Ave. is owned by the School City of Hobart. That makes this a GFZ Lake County, IN

I think you mean mUNdell field, which used to be Mundell elementary school before they combined it and the old one next to the fire station on 10th street to build the new one on 10th. The parking lot between the new school and the fire station is where the old school used to sit.

Edited original OP, thanks. Also just FYI the old Brickey Bowl is now owned by the city, so once they get that all fixed up for city events we will be able to carry there.

Small crowd at the opening. I warned Dad about the smelly guys. He only found one. He beat feet.

That was Harvey holsters they are from battle ground Indiana. They were mentioned on ingo awhile back.
Warrior arms out of valpo was there, they had some nice looking AR's at there booth. Over all it was a decent show.

Just go back from Ball State @ #17 Northwestern. Lost by 5.

I'd like to thank the IL DOT for taking 6 lanes down to 1 on the drive back. What a CF!

My brother was at that game too. His daughter is a senior at BS now.

Personally I hate that school. Did my graduate work there in the early 80's. Hopefully it has raised its standards since then? I did a 2 year masters program in 1 year, took classes at BS during the day, commuted to night school in Indianapolis at IUPUI, and also was a tutor for undergraduate Math and undergrad photography classes. Lowest grade I got there was an A and the professor admitted that he penalized me for not working hard enough to get an A+. Honestly didn't have to put out any effort at that school to get straight As. When someone gives you something, it is worth what you paid for it.

Been on set for three days now solid for this movie their shooting in NW Indiana.... Get a couple hours break before they go back at it... I think I've found my threshold of lack of sleep...

When this movie comes out pay attention to the firearms in it as they were all supplied by INGO members...

Good night...

In the early 90's they started ramping things up. With the college push, by the mid-90's, they were able to raise their academic standards and became more selective and turned potential students away.

The campus has done major overhauls of facilities too.

By the Mid 2000's the standards sank to all time lows. It was all about the money then. I even had one econ professor who preached how much better socialism was than capitalism. You know cause socialism works. Tuition was in the trawls of skyrocketing, and professors were told to do everything they could to not fail any students. Honestly my calculus class in high school was harder than it was at BSU. Now it is just another socialist campus. Thank god for the Computer Technology program that has for the most part remained level headed and results driven.

So, I leave and things start going downhill? Sounds about right.

 

[Andy219]
