NRA Annual Meeting (NRAAM 2019) - Indianapolis, Indiana

[TGO David]

I'll be at the NRA Annual Meeting (NRAAM) this Friday and Saturday.  Who else is going?

If you're not going, what would you like to see photos and/or video of?

I had planned on being there Saturday but the wife had already planned a getaway weekend. I don’t think she would appreciate it if I ditched her so I am not going to be there.

I’m going to be there all day Saturday trying to get buzz and sponsor swag for the Retro Wave match…

Yeah that's a no-win situation!

It's been a minute since I've seen you.  I'm not sure I'd recognize you!

Girlfriend's birthday. I will be in the birthplace of TGOD.

I’d keep your ear to the ground regarding the Ackerman-McQueen lawsuit.

That is one hell of an article.  Had no idea things were that bad inside the NRA.

Just FYI... NRAAM 2020 is back in Nashville!

I will be but I doubt they’re going to talk any about it. I’d like to get in touch with Jeff Knox and have him on the podcast soon.

After 20 years in the military, I dont like to travel much, so other than a few work trips per year, i generally stay local.  So when the NRAAM was in Nashville I went for one day.  TOTALLY AWESOME experience.  Glad to hear its coming back next year.  I will try to go 2 days this time, lol.

POTUS has pulled us out of the un arms control treaty signed by barry himself but never ratified by the senate.

This year's conference has been... interesting. 

I will post more of my thoughts about the organizational developments tonight or tomorrow after we return home.  Any opinion pieces that you read right now, including my own, are subject to information on-hand at the instant they are written.  The NRA's organizational environment has been tremendously dynamic since Wednesday and watching it transpire has been like watching a very sordid tennis match.  Lots of looking to the left, looking to the right, looking back to the left, etc.

The exhibit floor has been a ton of fun, though.  Hosting the Shooters Nation Podcast (link) for the past year has given me the good fortune to get to know quite a few people inside of the industry and opened the door to get to know many more at NRAAM this week.  I'm really looking forward to sitting down with numerous movers and shakers in the firearms world in the weeks ahead and sharing those conversations with you all.  Much fun!

Also, I've blown up Shooters Nation's Instagram feed with photos of new and cool stuff from the show.  Check it out here:

I'm going over to the show one last time this morning to see anything that I missed, then heading home.

Ha, timing is everything.  I read the article and just as luck would have it I sent in a donation to the NRA last week.  Starting to feel kinda like a sucker.  I had heard some the reports and in this day of disinformation wanted to believe that's all it was.  Like I said starting to feel like a sucker and I don't like it.    If true just add them to the list?

If the have your phone #, they'll be calling every week with a different sob story wanting more.
