    Went to one in St Louis years ago and it was great. Like nothing I had ever seen before.

    If I remember correctly there was no charge to get in the door if you were a member or with a member.

    Pretty much everybody in the gun world is there.

    Lots of freebees like catalogs, stickers, patches, etc.

    Not really much to buy. It isn't a gun show but you can probably place orders.

    Well worth the trip and I would be going if I wasn't heading out of town for work.

    Remember, this isn't SHOT Show. This is for the members. They are there to meet and talk to you.

    Just go.

    Guns aren't for sell in the convention (though private sells outside are possibly a thing), you can buy other things there. Plenty of guns to handle though.

    Free to NRA members and immediate family, if you are not an NRA member you can buy a membership at the door.

    IIRC on Saturday May 5th there will be in person voting for the 76th spot on the board of directors. I believe Adam Kraut will be in the running, if so please vote for him.

    Wife & I and an NRA Lifer friend will be going on Saturday to spend time in the Exhibit hall. Taking the DART Red Line down Saturday morning. Carry is permitted by both the convention hall and the NRA.

    VP Pence will be the key note speaker (on Friday) and Gov. Abbot and both Texas Senators are scheduled to be there. (Probably along with a smidgen of protestors, undoubtedly). Dallas cops ain’t likely to be in a mood to put up with any shenanigans - especially after what happened yesterday.

    The Dallas Confederate Cemetery is adjacent to the Bailey Convention Center... and guess what? They still have a Confederate Monument there!

    Go!!! I went to the one in Houston and had a blast. If I would have planned accordingly, I would have went this time too. The giveaways/swag alone are worth it, I was glad I had my wife and kid with me. :p

    I went when it was in Houston a few years ago. I really enjoyed it! I would go to this one, but already have plans for that weekend.

    If ya'll go, someone please wear this shirt and take lots of selfies with board members ;)
