NRA 2015 Annual Meetings and Exhibits, Nashville TN

[Jeb48]

On the Armed American Radio podcast this week they were talking about the mixed bag of eating places on the main drag. Some have no gun signs some don't. They said if the 80,000 expected attendance boycotted any restaurant with a no gun sign it would send a message.  Not sure about the Bridgestone arena.

Is the Bridgestone arena hosting part of the convention?

 

The Alan Jackson/Jeff Foxworthy concert (need a paid ticket) is at the Bridgestone on Saturday night. Almost everything else is at the Music City Center.

 

There's a free concert on Friday night outdoors on Broadway feat. Hank Williams Jr. No ticket required.

I joined the first week of March; still have not got the member card.  Called the member services, they gave me the number, registered for the convention maybe 10 days ago, and received the badges today.

[Ray Z]

Yep! SSDD

OOPS! Had to read the just mail that came with the badges. It's all that you need to get in the show

[TGO David]

Myself, the missus,and MacGyver will be there with Media Passes to cover the excitement.  :)

[suspiciousmind]

I'll be playing music down on Broadway for part of the days.

Some of the honky tonks have gun buster signs, but I am trying to convince a few of them to take them down, I've already had a few places take their signs down!

[suspiciousmind]

Actually, just got a call.. Y'all can catch me playing at Remington before the Duck Dynasty boys take the stage on Friday. I'll be playing with one of my favorite artists. :)

[musicman]

What time will you be playing, and what instrument? I'm planning on getting off work at 11, at the show by noon.

I thought that packet with neck lanyards was to avoid standing in the entrance lines. I'm still awaiting mine dangit.

No need, you were on track, I wasn't.

I wonder if we went to the Thursday afternoon NRA sales area if we could get signed in?

You beat me to it, ml!! By quite a lot actually. I got sidetracked and didn't post those times.

That seems to be happening a lot lately.

Spent a couple hours going thru the vendor list and picking who I want to see.

FWIW, trying to get a map together so I'll not spend so much time just aimless sightseeing.

Sure, that's not gonna happen.

Get the app. It has a map and times of all events (both ticketed and the free seminars). You can build an agenda for yourself and locate vendors on the map. It's pretty well done.

 

It's called NRA 2015 in the iTunes store. I suppose it's the same in the Google store for Android.

Yep, called NRA 2015 in the Google Play Store by Sherpa Solutions.

[tartanphantom]

The app is pretty darn handy for preplanning your visit

[gary_boom]

The app is great. It will save a lot of walking.
