They are always on Thursday nights, though.

I have never been, & would like to make one.

What happens at these anyway? I imagine a political circle jerk.

 

[Mreed911]

Political updates, requests for donations, raffles, bulk-prepared dinner, etc.

They raffle of guns!

The "Friends" banquet is a fund raiser. They get the money from sale of goods ....... especially Firearms. All transfers are on a 4473 so everything is 100% legal. Boat loads of guns change ownership that night. The guns are picked up at an FFL after the banquet.

"Friends" money is earmarked for educational and range development purposes. None of the "Friends" funds can be used for political activities BUT, by relieving the NRA of those costs, more money is available to fight politically.

I volunteered for a long time, but moved on.

Roger4314 meant to say "..Friends funds CAN NOT be used for political activities.."

In fact, politics are BANNED at FNRA dinners. That's not to say that every politician in the area won't be there shaking hands and such. But it's about supporting gun activities - like JROTC and such.

FNRA dinners are FUN! Good food, good folks, fun raffles, even fun auctions. (I enjoy watching people get carried away on some insane item.) Lots of guns in the raffles and auctions.

Good point I thought it was covered in my statement: "None of the "Friends" funds can be used for political activities BUT, by relieving the NRA of those costs, more money is available to fight politically." It's an important point and I appreciate that you clarified it.

That's good to know. Makes them sound much more appealing. I hope to make it to one sometime.

I went to my 1st Friends banquet last year and had a great time, food was decent, fun auctions and spending the evening with other gun minded people.
