Interesting, @MiamiJBT, is this a national conference with rotating locations, like the Fireams Policy Coalition Convention, and https://saf.org/grpc/? I hadn't heard of this one before.

I’m not a GOA Member, but interested in attending since it’s so close.

Will we be able to join at the door?

They've done a horrible job of advertising.  This is the only place I've seen any mention of it.

Yes, at least according to GOA. IIRC memberships were offered at the door when GOALS was in Knoxville.

We were able to join and get in rather seamlessly. I was expecting a bigger crowd (been to several NRA Annual Meetings) but it was okay. Very few of the “big dogs” of the industry were there. Heard a few great presenters talk in the Ballroom.

When we walked in the door, one of the first vendors mentioned that if we were interested in suppressors, be wary of quality from unknown providers. Holy cow- anyone with a 3D printer is now making them! Some looked pretty nice, some were obviously cheesy.

All in all a good way to spend a day and $25.

Would have liked to have gone. But this is he first time I even heard about it.

I think they definitely need to do better on the marketing.

Next year is in Tampa.
