We need to really put our heads together on this.. We 3 are hugely hammered on time at these events..and our "plans" can be there one minute and gone in the blink of an eye".. . but. Marshal and I will be shooting a competition cowboy match in a couple weeks in Arizona. I will definitely pin these 2 down on what we can do as far as getting together ect.. and I will have information when I get back..

I wish I could make it.  But a DRTV Hospitality room somewhere one or more evenings would be a good place to get everyone together.  Just an idea and Normally I keep them to myself if I'm not going to be there to help out.  To those who can go  HAVE FUN!!

That would be great! Please let us know if you need any ideas.

Just as a side note guys, and I don't know if it even matters to you ,but the covention is being held in a no guns allowed facility. Kinda ironic for a gun rights convention to be held where no guns are allowed.

Standard security procedure for the VIP's, celeb's etc,.... No big deal, as I don't know of any stats that exist regarding any crimes committed at an NRA convention.

Kinda like robberies at a gun show.

I don't like stats when it comes to my 2A rights and my right to self defense. What would the stats have told you about being in class at Virgina Tech a few years ago, or at Fort Hood? But this to me is not even about being fearful of something happening at the event, but more to  do with principal. I just see it as a poor choice that an organization advocating for gun rights to hold it's conventon in a GUN FREE ZONE . You say it's for security purposes ,but I think I would feel more secure surrounded by a group of armed law abiding citizens and one armed bad guy, than being surrounded by a group of un-armed law abiding citizens and one armed bad guy.

Last year in Phoenix, there was quite a bit of open carry as it is allowed in that state, inside the building, not just on the street.

Do you think they will have metal detectors?

Can't carry loaded firearms at a gun show either. However, NC has an open carry statute on the books but Char-Meck is a "blue" county, the main reason is Charlotte Convention Center is owned by the city, thus it makes it gov't property, and restricted to carry open or otherwise.
