April 10th NRA Training Class & Shoot

April 10th, PROMPTLY at 6:30pm, we will be holding a training session and shoot for those working the NRA convention in Indianapolis this month.  This will take place at the Bedford DAR, aka "Casa Chilidog".

The first part to this will be a dual part indoor class where attendees will get instructions on how to stay on message, avoid problems with the press, and what jobs they are expected to fulfill.  During that class attendees will also be graded on how well they concealed any pistols they plan to carry at the convention.

After the class ends, we will immediately retire to the range and have a pistol competition with same concealed pistols.  The contenders will scored.  Then points will be brutally subtracted for printing and any other failures to conceal that took place during the class session. 

The cumulative winner will take home an amazing prize.  AMAZING!

You all need to be at this event if you possibly can.  It will be very informative and helpful.  Also, loud and fun.

A course of fire will follow.

But, I heard on INGO that only criminals and Texans conceal their pistols...

Is OC not authorized at the convention? Are we also doing our best to conceal any pistols we may be packing?

OC is allowed at the convention hall.  For media reasons, CC is the dress code for the event itself.  I will confirm this with HH as he is the EventBoss tonight on the weekly conference call.

Dress Code?  What and how I carry depends on my dress code for the day.  What will our dress code be for the NRA convention?

Thanks for asking. I've been wondering myself for a while now.

Soooo ... black slacks/pants and polos. Any specific color for the top?

I've signed up to help during the convention and will plan on attending this informative primer. 

Are handguns required for entry into this event?

I am not at all familiar with Bedford ... any chance you can post a street address so that I can Google directions?   Heck, just post driving directions and save me the time.  Maybe a phone number in case my hillbilly GPS gets wonky?

I won't be able to make this, but I'm pretty good at wearing pants and stuff. I'd probably win.

TJ - Head south out of Bloomington on 37. Bought 20 minutes down the way hang a right (turn West) on Washboard Road.  Keep bearing West about a mile, Chili's place will be on the left. Ifn you see the big Appleseed sign in front of the barn, come one drive back east.

seems there should be points awarded for largest frame or highest capacity handgun. Just cause I dont carry that slow as molasses cartridge should not loose points :cool2:

If you shoot twice at each target then you could throw as much lead as the big boys do. See, you can overcome if just put you mind to it. Dont resort to name calling just cause your smaller, just remember, your faster....you have more oppertunity to shoot at the same target. Come on ahead and bring your gun I am sure the bigger boys will still let you play.

All I gotta say is you guys are lucky I have an Appleseed that weekend. Otherwise I'd be there with my AK pistol stuffed down the front of my pants.
