Reading is fundamental.... :)
I dont know the name of the place. I dont live in Nashville, and I am currently 1500 miles away on vacation so I cant run by and look. Perhaps someone local can go get the name... |
Are you serious? Are you really that thin skinned? I am posting this for YOUR benefit as a fellow NRA (life) member. I have no dog in this fight, so the only one you are hurting is the NRA and FONRA. I support both of these organizations from a personal and professional standpoint, and thought there would be some like minded people here that would like to do the same. Tell you what, while I think your pouting isnt warranted, I am willing to offer the following: Come to dinner Friday night, and its on me! Again, your presence or absence does nothing for me. Your proposed strike of this event isnt going to cost me anything. So perhaps you can not take my comment as a personal attack against you (dude, it was a joke...get over it) and come out and support this worthwhile event. Hope to see you (and many others) there! |
Sorry you cant make it. It would have been nice to have your support. |
