Went to their event last night....kinda won a few and bought a few...lol One of 'em - a Sig P320 M17. It'll be posted in the classifieds later in the week - I don't care for 9mm OR railed guns - so two strikes.<G> Ended up bringing 7 guns home, though - so a pretty decent night, all told!
Lucky bastard all I ever came home with from FNRA event was a jar of funky nasty quest dip. Tried eating while the wife was out of town. Even the dawg spit it out!

Only 7? Were you just worried about the load limit?
I've had good years and bad at FNRA dinners. One year I went to 4 dinners and came back with a total of about $10 worth of merchandise from the drawings. Somehow I won 3 beach towels. I don't even remember putting a ticket in the bucket for them. I won a pick-o'-the-litter once and was instantly the most unpopular person in the county when I picked up that rifle. At one of the dinners, the guy who bought the pack of tickets just before me (and one digit different) ended up with 7 guns. To add insult to injury, I had bought one off the auction and when I went to pick it up, the FFL asked if I was the 7 gun winner.
Regardless of winning or losing, it's always fun to hang out with like-minded folks, have a nice dinner, and share some laughs.
I wish...everyone talks about preserving the gun "culture" - until it's time to spend THEIR money. I've been directly involved with some of the groups these events benefit, so we make sure we do what we can.
