I just want to have her member ID on her own prereg to show her being active, for whatever statistics the NRA keeps and analyzes. |

Plus, there's one board member elected at the meeting by all voting members present, from the list of candidates who were not elected by mail, to a one year term. We've gotten ARFCOM members elected that way in the past. |

Never been....what actually goes on? View Quote I think most people go just to look at the displays and buy from vendors selling stuff. I go to the meeting with the training staff to see what they're changing this year, Ollie North has had book signings the past couple of years, various other celebrities are at booths at specific times or having events, there's the actual member meeting itself where you can hear they discuss what's going on with the NRA and vote for some initiatives, there's one board member elected only at the meeting for a one year term, Hank Williams Jr will be doing a concert (separate tickets, available for purchase online now), etc... |

No. Carrying is not prohibited. The NRA will not have a convention where carrying is prohibited. That's all I know. |

Courthouses, jails etc. are still on no-go list. This will be my first time attending the meetings. Probably going for the ILA forum, exhibits and concert. |

Thanks I looked through the NRA website and I guess I missed that. If I have the passes coming in the mail do I have to register Thursday? The one thing I did see is registration is Thursday so I think that if for the people who didn't sign up for the passes through the NRA website. Is that correct or does everybody have to register at the convention before they can enter? Thanks I appreciate the help.
