Here are the stats for NRA Annual meeting 2013 in Houston:

New memberships and upgrades: $1,340,107. This is an 86% increase over last year. Wow.
NRA Store Sales: $672,762, which is a 54% increase over last year.
Foundation Banquet: $511,761. Largest ever.
ILA Dinner: $800,000+, New record.
Women's Leadership Forum: $1.2 million. Largest ever.
And total attendance? 86,228. That's 12,488 more than the previous record of 73,740. Wow.

Too busy to take pictures...sorry.  However, 'burbs had to contend with me squealing like a 14-year old girl whenever I saw a famous competitive shooter.  Rob Leatham, Doug Keonig, Jerry Micelek, Jim Clark.  Finally, my inner fanboy overwhelmed when I saw Jessie Duff and burbs DEMANDED (demanded, I say) that I get a picture with her.



Oh, OK, one more.  Bill wanted me to buy this safe...not even close to being big enough.  Seriously...come back when it is room sized.

ST,

Thanks for the update!

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein

Your stats show the power of a membership driven org (geez, I sound like a broken record)

So I've been scouring the net looking for some evidence that AS even had a booth at the NRA show this year. Couldn't find anything but one photo of ST with a pretty woman.   ^-^

Hey!  WE WANT AN IAAR on Appleseed at the NRA show!  Throw us a bone here... ;)

With the way the highlights are around ST's head and the slight color differentiation around him, it looks like he may have photoshopped himself into that photo.

just sayin'

You still have a choice. You can still salvage your right to be individuals. Your rights to truth and free thought! Reject this false world of Number Two . . . reject it NOW!!
