So, what's the answer then? Seriously..
I want to go to the 1500, but I prefer to be armed on the way there, and on the way home. So, my choices are:
- Leave my loaded gun in the car
- Unload in the car, go into the Show, reload in the car
- Go unarmed anyway
- Stay home
- Or? What?
#5 or? What?So, what's the answer then? Seriously..

Actually most of them do not care so long as you leave it in the holster, at least the ones I have talked too. The signs are for the idiots and for people bringing guns in to be looked at.Don't go and see your LGS!
#5 or? What?
Keep your gun loaded, in the holster, and concealed, duhhhhhhh
Are you some sort of rookie or something?
ReportedSilly me
Silly me
Yes, I think you should report Rookie!Reported
...unless I missed the sarcasm, wasn't the guy in question in his car when it happened?
Rule #2: Which part of your car are you willing to destroy?
I now am not going to hear the end of this at work from the out there FAR left wankers who hate guns.
Let me ask this. Do you all walk around with one in the chamber? and why why not?
As for me no, 3 kids at home and l am home more than going out in area's l need to fear for my life. Plus the racking of a gun will put the fear into anyone.
What do l do then l am out, well l don't walk around with blinders on.
I try to have sitution awarerness of where l am at and what's going on around me.
I hate to pile on, but incidents like this are specifically why I keep saying we NEED to have a training requirement to own a weapon (similar to the Texas CHL program. Check out the details and you;ll see why I like it so much). There are too many asshats out there blowing their fingers, toes, and dongs off and it fits in well with the "well trained militia" part of the 2A that we all cherish. It won't eliminate stupidity, but I have to think it would help.
Too many people just do not take the responsibility of owning and operating seriously enough.

Apparently I'm not alone in wondering why the management at the Indy1500 doesn't have AT LEAST sand barrels at the entrance. Seems to be a commonsense safety precaution and if they were REALLY worried about it, they could station an LEO to watch for unsafe clearing/reloading.
Barrel down, floor pan...nothing too necessary directly under the drivers feet. Going thru carpet, pad then some steel will take a good bit of the velocity off your normal factory 9mm or .45 acp HP. Therefore reducing danger to bystanders.
Better than dumping one into the concrete at the entrance with 100's of bystanders around.

(I'm not, personally, which is why I use that brick wall over the bare dirt ground some 25-30 yards from the entrance, but I'm poor and worry about my crappy car. :o)
