NRA Convention in Louisville

[Kirk Freeman]

My sons and I will be there Friday and Saturday. Really looking forward to the event.

Will Uncle rhino be there?

Agree, Sunday is the day the vendors are passing out everything so they do not have to pack up. Last meeting in Indy I went Friday,Saturday and Sunday and got about 16 Tshirts and most swag on Sunday. CANT wait till it comes back to Indy

I guess I was wrong.
Going to St. Louis twice, Milwaukee, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Nashville, and Indy doesn't qualify me to comment.
How stupid I am.
Thanks for the corrections guys.
I apologize for being such an idiot.

I will let you figure out who owes who. Truth is I can't keep up with all of that detail anymore.

I am a strong proponent of using the restroom that you are comfortable with...just sayin'.

It has extra pockets. OMG....its a tactical kilt. If it was black, people would faint at the sight of it! <they may already though>

I'll be there Sunday working the Youth Day where Revere's Riders is the official staff sponsor. If anyone has children, bring them by the Youth Day. Lots of cool stuff set up there and lots of prizes. Gives parents a chance to take a load off while the kids play. You'll also get the chance to meet several Revere's Riders INGO folks.

I'd encourage everyone to check out the seminars and special presentations. Haven't seen much about them from anyone and I don't think most people even realize they're going on. You can meet the big names in the industry and learn a bunch. Plus, they're usually free and you can go to as many as your time allows. The special presentations this year on "The guns of Pearl Harbor" and "Sniping in Vietnam" should be extra good. Marty KA Morgan and Maj. John Plaster are two of the best oratory historians I've ever heard. Well worth the time to attend their presentations.

My family heritage is of Scottish decent... Where men are men and are scared!

This is my 5.11 Tactical Duty Kilt. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Believe it or not, every time I've worn it I've been asked by ladies for a photo and had people who recognize it as a TDK give me props... even with my white legs... LoL

OMG< I almost spit my beer on the screen from laughing.

Anyway, I'll be there Saturday (and maybe Sunday if I feel froggy). I'll be staying at my nice cozy home about 15 minutes NW of the sight.

My wife and I are driving to Clarksville on Thursday and plan to attend Friday-Sunday.

My wife and I are going. Firearms are allowed, subject to Kentucky's laws. Also, Secret Service areas are gun-free zones. KY has rules like no guns allowed where alcoholic beverages are sold, etc. Check the state and local regs before going. This is spelled out on NRA's NRAAM page a little over halfway down the page. https://www.nraam.org/ Another good source is http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/kentucky.pdf

Will Uncle rhino be there?

I don't know yet. John jr is going to try to kidnap him on his way out of C'ville.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

If John-john needs help, he knows who to call.

We should all avoid those venues.

I'm avoiding the Leadership Forum for this reason. In '14 they had a few TVs with the feed in the Convention Hall.

I'm trying to get there opening day in the morning, what is the parking situation there.

 

[BluePig]

Parking was better than most of the other venues.
They had really huge lots all around the center.
Last time, we were able to park pretty close to one of the doors and walk into the hall.
I think it was $8 for the day.
We are planning on taking a cooler for lunch stuff and eat out at the truck.
Much cheaper than buying food inside.
There is a map of the parking lot with info here: Kentucky Exposition Center ? Parking & Directions

$8 on the way in & plenty of parking once on the grounds.

 

[KittySlayer]

I heard there is a toll for the bridge now. Is that true? How much? Is it a clusterf... to roll through the toll booths?

Can't imagine it being too much worse than the never ending construction that has been going on the last decade.
