Posting this thread in the TX forum after talking about it with a few other members in GD.
https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/Former-Arfcommer-Out-at-NRA/5-2691488/ I made a quick design on Zazzle for some Fire Wayne LaPierre shirts we could all wear when attending. I don't know if anyone else has any hookups, does custom T-Shirts, or has a supplier that's better than Zazzle, but it was my first click to come up with an idea. I'm also open to changes in font, formatting, and context if anyone else has any ideas. I figure we could wear a shirt over this one to get into the show and then remove the outer layer, just to insure that they don't stop anyone at the door. If this shirt is agreeable to everyone and we don't feel we could do better on the price somewhere else, here's a link to the shirt in the pictures.   https://www.nraam.org/attend/

Do they still do $10 memberships? Might totally be worth it to look at the cool stuff and do some quality trolling at the same time

If I'm in town, I'll get one of these to wear on Saturday (the day of the actual annual meeting).

I bet they'll just kick people out if they're wearing shirts like that. I'm interested to see how it goes.

That's where the action is. Hanging around at a NRA business meeting sounds as much fun I was getting a root canal in an Afghani cave. |

Wish I were going to be in town for the convention. I had a good time last time.
And the fights between the NRA Fudds and members wearing Fire Wayne shirts could be better than the hockey games I've been attending. |

Shameless bump as a reminder that the show is this weekend, and that if you were a member as of 3/29/2024, you're eligible to vote for the 76th director.
According to Jeff Knox & co., Jim Wallace is the best choice. Voting info here |

I am not 100 percent on the guns. you aren't walking out the door with it if they do sell. but I know I saw some email come through about buying suppressors. |

Also Mike from H&R is a really cool guy. |

I enjoyed the show yesterday and it was a pleasure meeting Kentucky Ballistics (Scott) and his father. He genuinely seems like a salt of the earth kind of man and he made my kids day.
 Saw a lot of nice firearms and equipment. I really liked the Stacatto XL and the new Primary Arms GLX microprosm with it insane eye relief of 40 or so inches.

Had a fun time walking around today, sorry I didn't see anyone I know (except Calving from Firepower United who I didn't chat with).
Was much more hands-on this time since my friend I was with has been out of the game for ~15 years, he had a lot to catch up on (e.g., suppressors). In 2018 I walked around solo and just walked by most stuff since I'm much too cool to talk to people. Best booths: Silencershop, Fightlite (their lever-action AR lower is super cool and should work for the can cannon) |

Didn't seem like there were as many booths as previous years. Still some impressive displays, Ohio Ordnance Works was probably the best. Yall that didn't go will have to use your imagination, I didn't take pics of it.
Did get a pic of the M134 though.

The amount of guntoobers doing video was amusing. I figured they would have done all of that on Friday to get a heads up on the competition.

Great show, waited 1.5 hours to see Trump.
My only complaint is with the optic manufacturers putting their optics on real guns. I know they don't have fire pins in them but I still don't like sweeping a crowd of people with a real gun while trying to see what the sight picture is. I don't like pointing at the ceiling lights either. I would have much preferred some of the optics be mounted on fake blue or red plastic guns so that I could try out the optics without breaking a gun safety rule or freaking someone out. |
