NRA Convention Opens In Nashville With Solid Crowds

By Bob Owens | 5:33 PM | April 10, 2015

Typically, Friday at the NRA Annual Meeting is a relatively slow time, where you can walk through the “nine acres of guns and gear” without being nose-to-tail and shoulder-to-shoulder with attendees. That wasn’t the case in Nashville today, where a number of “show regular” vendors have stated that the floor today was busier than any show they’ve worked in the past.

It’s far too early to know if the 2015 NRA Annual meeting will be one for the record books in terms of attendance, but I’m rather confident that this hallway shot alone shows more warm bodies than we’ll see at tomorrow’s Moms Demand Action rally tomorrow.
