    I will be there Friday, Sat and Sunday but you won’t see me because I am the gray man, existing on the edge of your perception.

    I'll be there all day Friday and Saturday, working a s volunteer. Got assigned to the registration area. Did the same last time NRA was in Indy.
    I'll be looking for INGO swag.
    Y'all have a nice time now!

    I had every intention of going on Friday but since I do what I can to avoid frustration or conflict in my life I'll wait until Saturday :) If anyone has interest in carpooling up from around the Greenwood/Bargersville area PM me and maybe we can work something out. I plan on being there by 8 or before and coming home around 4 or 5.

    I will be there tomorrow and Saturday. I'll be the tall bald headed dude wearing a NRA shirt and jeans carrying a firearm on my right side. Saturday I will have my Boy with me in his NRA shirt. I'm thinking about parking upstream of the protesters so they can see Father and Son in NRA swag walking to the meeting. I can just see their heads exploding. -Jason

    I will be there Friday and Saturday. On Friday, I will most likely be wearing a red polo shirt and tan 5.11 pants. I will be OCing my M&P CORE with Trijicon RMR, and a couple of mags in a HighSpeed Gear double mag holder on the left side. If you see me, be sure to introduce yourself and say hi!

    Not sure why I bothered pre-registering, nothing showed up yet. So, I guess I will stand in line in the morning. Same thing happened last time they were in Indy.

    I considered going but 15 acres and 3 miles of isles, my legs wouldn't hold up and an electric scooter would be out of the question, so video up for me and many others guys.

    The antis work really hard to avoid running into opposing views points. I'd be surprised if you see them even if you go looking for them. Even if you do find one, they won't be willing to engage.

    I can say this from experience as I actually had a lady get up and abandon the Everytown booth she was working trying to recruit volunteers Durning a street festival a couple of years ago. I come up to chat and when she realized I was pro gun and countering her nonsense she literally got up from the table, mumbled something about having to pick up her dog at the groomer and ran away.

    The funny thing was there was no one else there to take over and she left her coffee thermos on the table. She was back at it when I came down the other side of the street about 15 minutes later.

    Do they, I wonder how much? Well perhaps I will.

    Never been to the NRA convention. However if it is anywhere near as big as the PRI (performance racing industry) show find an unoccupied place to sit will be a huge challenge. Spots are scattered throughout the main halls and eateries but nothing within the actual exhibit hall.

    I want to hit the PRI show one day!

    I am thinking I might not make the NRA show this year. I am trying to get my storage barn built so I can store my outdoor equipment and get my garage back and I lost time this week due to the rain.

    Part of me wants to go, but part of me wants to stay home and be productive.

    A seated walker would be a big help but I gave/loaned mine to a friend who needed it more.
