I'll try to make it Saturday. This will a 30.06/07 event at the NRA's request, or at least it was the last time they were in Dallas.

If that's the case it's due to the venue, and NOT the NRA's request.  There is only a very limited number of public venues large enough to hold the NRAAM event, and most of them forbid firearms.  And they won't change it just because the NRA is the customer renting the facility.  We carried in Nashville and Louisville and Indy and St. Louis, IIRC.  In Nashville we went to the Jeff Foxworthy/Alan Jackson concert and couldn't carry in that building.  They even wanded us for knives--but again, that was the venue, and NOT the NRA.

This states licensed hand guns are allowed.  At the bottom under handgun policy.

Now that I think about it the state laws have changed since they were here last. They have been in venues where they did not allow cc or oc because of the anti's having fun with the fact the NRA didn't trust it's members to carry.

In Nashville it made the national news there wasn't a single crime reported in N'ville during the entire time the NRA convention was in town.

What is your HANDGUN policy?

Licensed handguns (both concealed carry and open carry) are permitted on premise, as allowed by state law, unless the type of event being held at the KBHCCD falls under an exception that would prohibit a person with a license to carry a handgun at the event.  Any exceptions will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Director and will be in accordance with state law.

Handguns must be carried in a manner that is allowed by state law.

Unlicensed handguns are NOT PERMITTED on the premises.

Police department or Security staff may request proof of handgun license.  Your understanding and cooperation is appreciated.

I think it's officially not open to non-members, so you just have to buy an annual membership in order to get in. That's $35.

Even if you hate the NRA, it is a place with a shit ton of guns on display.

or does the NRA hate transfer to large displays of guns too?

Will be there - 3rd year in a row.  Coming in a day early and leaving a day late so I'm open to suggestions for stuff to do.  Staying at the Homewood Suites near the convention center.

I will be there, I am off work on vacation.  Only suck thing is I waited to long to get a room at the host hotel.

I am only about 25 miles away, if that.

Who else is coming?  I have no idea if it will come down to it, no idea if he will choose to run if it does, but if Adam ends up vying for the 76th seat we need to get a group ready to to BALLS OUT to make that happen!

And @Supermoose may come into this thread and shut it right down too?

But fortune favors the prepared mind.

They're not changing locations. There might be a few more protests than usual, but I'm sure they will all be a good distance from the venue.

Kay Bailey Hutchison convention center all the way.  The contracts are signed and it would be a nightmare if either party crawfished.
