This year, the NRA Convention will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana April 26-28. This is the greatest and most entertaining shooting/hunting show that I attend each year. If you are in the area or just looking for a great weekend get away, this is it.
I will be in the Ruger Booth most all day on Friday and Saturday and will be signing autographs from 9:00-10:00 AM on Friday and 4:00-6:00 PM on Saturday.
In my opinion, no other organization does more to protect the rights of law abiding citizens than the National Rifle Association.
Hope to see you there,
Gary

I'll be there at the Ruger Owner's and Collectors Society exhibit. Will also be at the Dallas Arms Collectors Assoc. exhibit, as one of our Members is exhibiting Ruger M77 rifles. Bill Rugers personal M77, serial# 1 will be on display. Will also spend some amount of time at the Ruger booth, so will catch you somewhere.

Sure wish I could go. Have always wanted to, but that dirty four letter word (WORK) keeps getting in the way. Would love to see what is has to offer. Something about “Kid in a candy factory “ comes to mind.

In 2021, the NRA will be in Houston, so put that on your radar.

2020 is in Nashville. Heck, I'm driving through there to get to Indy, so I guess I'll make that one, too. Then Houston!

My wife has a speaking engagement just south of Indianapolis on Saturday. I may head on up. Is there general admission or do you need to be "part of the industry" to attend? How much is the entrance fee?

IIRC, last year, no charge to get into the exhibitor's hall. The different events with speakers will cost you.

More info here=> https://www.nraam.org/

kry226, is your wife speaking in Martinsville, Bloomington (aka Peaple's Democratic Republic of Monroe County) or elsewhere? Use to live in B'ton

Pay it forward - Kids are the future.

Rifles are similar to boats and young women...there's no end to how much money you can pour into them without making them any more useful.

My wife is speaking at a luncheon on Camp Atterbury.

The Convention in Indy was great! Although I was never able to leave the Ruger booth, I would say that the traffic flow through the booth was every bit as good as Dallas last year, if not better. I am honored to work with such a great company as Ruger and to be able to attend a convention with so many great patriotic and happy folks.
Adios,
Gary

Ollie isn't doing another term as president. I just got home from Indy. Literally just sat down at my desk. That's a bit of a drive. Had a great time there, GF and I caused a stir at the Alan Jackson concert. It wasn't set up for it, but we're from Texas. If there's good music playing, we're gonna' dance.
