Journalists continue to repeat the false statement that attendees at the NRA Annual Meeting are not allowed to carry at the convention.
This is false, they know or darn well should know by now it's false, yet they keep running this falsehood every year and each year they get called out for lying about it yet again.
The Detroit News: Juggling Act: If lawmakers don't act on gun laws now, then when?
The National Rifle Association, meanwhile, will hold its annual convention this weekend 4 ½ hours east of Ulvade in Houston. Attendees, ironically, won't be permitted to carry firearms during the convention, according to USA Today.
This is simply false, and this journo is simply passing along the falsehood from USA Today when she could, you know, fact check it herself assuming she doesn't already know she's lying.
The fact is, Attendees and NRA members can and do carry at the NRA Annual meeting.
The only limitations to carry at NRA Annual Meeting events is when the US Secret Service declares an area of the convention a gun-free zone due to a dignitary being present such as former President Trump or others, and then it is only for a defined area and not the entire convention hall. Or, it for example if it is for an ancillary concert at a facility separate from the convention hall that does not permit firearms, then you can;t break the rules of that facility.
Otherwise, you absolutely can carry at the NRA Annual Meeting and convention.
Would be nice if journos stopped lying about that, as well as so many other things they lie about or tell half-truths when it comes to firearms.

Hey Aaron;
Texas recognizes other states CCW*Carry Concealed Permit*, and they have reciprocity with them. I carried in Dallas in 2017, The journalist are trying to get as many cheap shots as possible, I think the only organization hated more than the NRA is the LAPD, LOL
If journalists didn't lie, they would not have enough to fill the 24/7 cable news cycle that Ted Turner ushered in with CNN, way back in the infancy of cable television.
And Mr.G, Michigan recognizes every other state's permits. About the only decent thing about Michigan's gun laws. Not as bad as our confusing knife laws.
May we all remember the reason for tomorrow, Memorial Day, and pray that it should not happen again, that another drop of blood is shed in war of any American.
Sigh... EVERY damned year we go through this...
