NRA Annual Meeting

So on May 19th, I left for the NRAAM in Louisville KY. Met up with some friends for Dinner upon arrival and showed up the next day at the Media desk to check in. 

"Blogger huh?" They pull this blog up and much hilarity ensued. 

Behind the media desk shot as this Blog is pulled up =) 

80 Thousand + attendees. About the same as Indy, but I found the venue not as crowded. May have just been me though. 

 






















Attend an Instructor update. Although I can understand instructor push back to the new blended learning, I also understand instructor's negative feedback. I have no solution to this change in format except to say it appears the NRA is protecting itself on professional and legal levels with the blended online and instructor approach. 

 

















Over 700 instructors attended this seminar. 


So, off to a booth or two:

Convention staff all said the same thing. Attendees were polite and well mannered. LPD Officers actually thanked me for being there. That seems to be a standard of these annual meetings.

See you in Atlanta in 2017! 

 

NRAAM

NRA instructor meeting! 700 or so of us! 

So it begins....

The Colt XSP .380 on the line today for a quick 100 rounds of generic Winchester white box 95 grain ammo. As usual, the safety is well, a Colt one. 

No faults noted today. It is a really soft shooting pistol compared to some pocket .380's around here. 

Next week the original Mustang, same ammo and perhaps some chrono work. 

I apologize in advance if this post looks wonky, trying to figure out the iThingy blogger app before the NRAAM!
