I was re-reading some things today...(that hurts too!)

You know what might be a good place to hold an NRA convention...

Tyler, Texas

Just big enough to have a good facility to have it in, and small enough to truely benefit from the $$$ coming into the community...

I bet 15 million would go real far to increase their police and fire protection in that city...

I think the same amount of people would travel and participate in a venue like that...

Just a thought...

Do we have the right convention???

2007 Columbus, Ohio (thats on a website)

Is the event in 2007 Salt Lake, UT; some other function or event???

Just curious...

You're right, until this morning we were going to Columbus. I called to see why my NRA Roster was incorrect and they reminded me we had a problem with Salt Lake City facilities and changed the location two months ago. Sorry about the bad information.

However, NRA held a press conference this morning and announced we would not be going to Columbus, because of the "assault weapons" ban passed by their city counsel. I don't yet know where it will be held. I kind of like Houston. :D

Chas.

Yeah, I just found the link just now and came back here to post it...

Short and sweet...

I think they should have it in Dallas...It'll give me an excuse to come up and stay with Granma for a few days...

But Houston would do in a pinch I suppose...

Although I agree in principle that its good to have conventions and shows right in the middle of all that...

I do have a slight rub with the money that is brought into communities like that, that those same politicians can use for other liberal/socialist projects/agendas...

How much money did Houston make when the NRA came into town earlier this year???

Thanks Chas for the schedule...muh bad...

I'm confused...Not really...

I was thinking (I do that from time to time) that it might be a good idea not to have the next NRA convention in a place where B.arbara S.treisand roosts...

Why pump millions of dollars (and free publicity/irony) into the local economy that is 180 degrees out from the agenda we promote...

Now, of course that could change if the voters there do a clean sweep of that government body...Then of course, I think Columbus should get that convention at that time...

They would of course have to repeal that ban...And registration too...
