Admission costs?

[LoriW]

Heres another idea wouldnt it be a good idea to let the general public into the exhibit hall so that they could see what groups are around that are progun?

I understand the reasoning behind that but this is the NRA's National Convention. Not a public convention like the recent deer, turkey and waterfowl expo. Same broad idea but totally different audience. Plus if the general public was allowed in that would drastically increase security concerns, especially for such a Pro 2A group

Actually after looking at the exhibitor listings I can see its really not meant for the general public as a pro 2A event and more of a public shot show/gun show where there are more products than pro 2A activities.

But the downside of looking at the exhibitors is now I really want to attend. I wonder if a non member could volunteer for admission?

I really want to see what is out there in iron sights for low vision as I really cant use a standard 3 post arrangement anymore after my last eye surgery(went from 20/60 to 20/175) plus with all the optic companies there I could possibly place my order for a new monocular. Ive been thinking zeiss or leica this time around as the state is giving me a choice in supplier and my last william(prisms became loose and dust finally got inside) and eschenbach(retaining spring and dust) are needing replacement.

Why go if you are not a member? You want to go then pony up the membership! As already said, if you own a gun, why are you not a member????

 

[mkbar80]

I might have to try that as well.

Im not a member yet(college student) and wish I knew about this sooner so I could have planned to join so I could attend.

I'm pretty sure you can join at the door....probably $35 as others have stated.

Secondly, given that our friendly neighbourhood activist from Zion$ville is bringing her sewing circle downtown to stir up trouble, I most certainly DO NOT want non members allowed inside. That said....I'm secretly hoping the MUMs want to pony up for membership just to get in and make a$$es of themselves while we give them our most polite and hospitable smiles and say "Thank you for joining!".

(my apologies to sewing circles worldwide)

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Ah heck. Maybe I'll just sneak in like I do when the Motorcycle Expo comes to town.

Please join up and join us.

To add a little to this, If god forbid we lose, or get our 2A rights infringed on further, I would hate to be the guy who looks back and says "I didn't do my part". A lot of people think that 1 vote, or 1 membership wont make a difference, but some of the presidential elections in the past 15 years should have silenced that argument.

This is so true. Especially when you add up those who say "What's just one vote?", the total numbers can be staggering.

What's just one vote? Well when there are 99 more who share the same thought..... it's 100 votes.

There is no reason not to join. And for only $25 for a full year.... It is the best deal around.

Do you know if it's to late to sign up and get your membership info so I don't have to do it at the door?

 

[longbarrel]

It can be done for $25.00 for those interested. (Link below)

They will sign you up at the door for $35. Or you can sign up at this link for $25. https://membership.nrahq.org/forms/signup.asp?campaignid=XP028342

You should receive your card in time for the show as long as you sign up by the weekend.


ETA: Also members can 'pre-register' at NRAAM.Org 2014 NRA Annual Meeting & Exhibits and they will mail your credemtials.

Thanks for the link +1 to you on that

 

[williamsburg]

If it is done within the next few days you should be good to go.

What if I have signed up via online to be an NRA member and do not have a membership card yet?? will they accept an email confirmation as proof of membership??

I'm curious about this as well. I would think they'd still accept it

 

[mdale]

I have a non-member friend that is wanting to go with me, does anyone know for sure if you can sign up for membership at the door?

 

[gatorindy]

You should be good to go. The NRA will have their computers there and should be able to look up your membership info. Also you can certainly join/upgrade your membership right there on the spot!

 

[Giddaltti]

How do you know Spouse + kid are free, is this a fact? I can't find any mention of it on the website.

 

[sj kahr k40]

I just gave them my name and zip code and they looked me up, I'm sure they would accept an email confirmation and yes you can sign up at the door, $500 for a life membership, half price!

 

[Classic]

If you are on the fence about going - get off the fence and come to the Convention Center for this event. I worked as a volunteer today and got to see a lot of the great exhibits, this is an event not to be missed.

It's on the main attendee page: link

The exhibit hall is FREE to NRA Members and their immediate family!

I walked up today and signed up for a year membership for $25 with my baby boy. Great show well worth it, a ton of firearms to hold and handle. I even got to meet Angus from CZ!
