Home From NRAAM 2016

After 7 hours on the road, we made it home from Louisville and a very successful NRAAM.

Meeting new friends, spending time with established friends, enjoying the awesome southern hospitality of Tom and Robin Rogneby, seeing lots of guns and learning lots of new things.

It was indeed a great time.

NRAAM 2016 was a great success.

I believe it was reported there were 90,000 in attendance this year and from the crowd on Saturday I'd certainly believe it. Sunday there was a bit more room to breathe in the exhibit hall - And with 11 Acres of awesome stuff and it was stuffed to the gills and I've got the aching feet to prove it.

I've still got a lot of pictures to process, and stuff to write up on the trip, so expect more gun pics shortly.

Morning At NRAAM

Already there's a crowd waiting in the misting rain for the doors to open.

And we're heading in.

First Meetings At NRAAM 2016

So tonight, after arriving at the hotel, I first met up with Keads and he got to meet the family and we all had a good conversation over dinner.

After dinner we them met up with the proprietress of Random Geeking for a short but as always an interesting conversation.

It was a short conversation as everyone was tired from the drives we all made into town. We all headed off to our respective rooms and hotels to prepare for the next day.

So I'm prepped and ready for tomorrow's firearms seminar, and given the line up with some very accomplished and impressive speakers, it should be a most worthwhile and interesting time.

Made It To Louisville

Aside from construction in Michigan, including southbound I275 being shut, construction and congestion in Ohio, and congestion and construction in Kentucky, we would have been here a lot earlier.

As it was, we made it here to the hotel in decent enough time but not enough to go pickup media creds.

Tonight is dinner and a relaxing swim.

Tomorrow is the firearms law seminar.

Off To The NRAAM

All items are packed and we're ready to head off to the 2016 NRA Annual Meeting.

The car is all fueled, ready and loaded with some precious cargo for delivery to some good friends that I'll see at the NRAAM.

On Friday I'll be attending the NRA Firearms Law Seminar. I expect I will be wandering around the convention center the other days seeing what I can see, as well as taking in some attractions around Louisville.

Looking forward to again meeting and having excellent and interesting conversation with the usual suspects.
