NRAAM 2023 - Indianapolis

[ehaleyjr86]

Who all is going to the NRA Annual Meeting and what are you most excited to see?

I'm hopeful to see an AX-T at one of the booths (likely optics booth) in person. I am also curious about the new Staccato CS. I currently carry a C and have an XL for range fun.

 

[anon]

Good luck with that. The vendor's displays at the '22 Houston meeting were sparse compared to '13. I did at least get some show discounted Shilen barrels.

A lot of people dropped put as a result of the school shooting on Uvalde last year in Houston. The list looks better this year so far.

Yeah, cause us law abiding attendees are such a liability. I didn't think to look at those so quick to abandon.

Tired of paying for Wayne's lifestyle.

I was surprised when one of the biggest sponsors (Daniel Defense) backed out. I think a comprehensive list of those that backed out should be made available.

I’m in looking to see PSA STG 44 in 300 AAC and some optics and chat with a Gemtech rep. and some people watching. Anyone up for a steak at St Elmos or Harry and Izzys. Maybe a small taste of some of Kentuckys finest.

We have a group of 6 that’s going to St Elmos on Saturday night! I see a dry aged steak in my future!

I don't need anything, but am going to leer at the booth girls.

I was surprised when one of the biggest sponsors (Daniel Defense) backed out. I think a comprehensive list of those that backed out should be made available.

What would I be most excited to see? Wayne LaPierre stripped of his Italian suits and mansions, and kicked out on his sorry butt while the NRA repents from abandoning its constituents, and returns to serving its mission and members instead of its leadership.

I agree a comprehensive list of those who backed out should be made available so they can be supported for doing the right thing.

I appreciate your opinion. I maintain memberships with multiple groups for different reasons. I enjoy the show to have face time with manufactures.

Also, please see below for a comprehensive list of those who are attending the show so you can take your business elsewhere if you choose. I think it's important to spend your money with companies who support your view points.

I don't need anything, but am going to leer at the booth girls.

It’s not a need thing , its a WANT thing ! Big boys toys

It’s not a need thing , its a WANT thing ! Big boys toys

Agreed!!!! Although every year I go, I find things I didn't even know I "needed"

 

[armorpl8chikn]

I smell Soup.

 

[kriller134]

Fuck the NRA

 

[vh20]

I appreciate your opinion. I maintain memberships with multiple groups for different reasons. I enjoy the show to have face time with manufactures.

Also, please see below for a comprehensive list of those who are attending the show so you can take your business elsewhere if you choose. I think it's important to spend your money with companies who support your view points.

Yeah, that's not what I said... I'm not about cancelling anyone. I took it that you were:

YOU said, " I think a comprehensive list of those that backed out should be made available." I read that as, "so we can spend our money elsewhere since they don't support the NRA." If that's not what you meant then I beg your pardon, but it sure implies that intent. Perhaps you just meant so that you would know who not to be looking for on the exhibit floor?

My point was the opposite - that those who backed out SHOULD be supported for not supporting a corrupt organization that sells its members down the river. But nowhere did I ever say the opposite (as stated in your reply in bold above) - that we shouldn't support any company that attends. Personally, I don't care if they do or don't. My point was that I have nothing against any of them for backing out on supporting the NRA. I applaud them. The NRA needs to be torn down and rebuilt from a bare foundation. It is doing its members more harm than good at present, and they have refused to listen to demands for reform.

Not going, no time. I'd love for the cronies and Wayne to be voted out and the organization saved from the constant looting of the thieves running it.

Great points. I think the action of not going to the annual meeting after the event in Uvalde demonstrated a bowing down to mainstream media and the anti-gun lobby. I am always curious what actions companies take as it does impact where I spend my money. No different then watching the actions of elected officials to decide who to vote for in the future.

Is the NRA a great thing? No.

Do we have other options? Yes. I’m a member of several.

Why am I an NRA member? I enjoy the manufactures at the annual meeting.I’m not a dealer or media so I cannot go to SHOT. Additionally, a local club I enjoy shooting at requires NRA membership to participate in matches.

Rarely do good people make it onto the ballots. No different then our current political system sadly.
