NRA Annual Meeting 2014 – Day 2ish

Girlie Bear and I got up bright and bloody early this morning to get downtown before the crowds hit, and it’s a good thing we did.
- We got in a little after 8, doors opened to the exhibits at 10, and it was quite crowded by 11.
- However, I must say that my experience in Pittsburg and Saint Louis were true – Gun people are good people. Even though the crowd was thick, I never heard a harsh word or saw an impolite act. Everyone was patient in waiting to see the more popular exhibits or to meet celebrities. I could spend days with these people and not be as frustrated or tired as I get going to a shopping mall.
Kathy Jackson is a lady and a scholar. She was very gracious to Girlie Bear when I introduced her, and took time out of her insanely busy schedule to talk about guns and life in general with both of us. When I forgot the book I bought for her, she called and texted me until I picked up so that I could backtrack and get it.
I got my hands on the Remington R51 this morning. I can see why some aren’t happy with it, especially working the action, but it seems like it might be an OK pistol with a little break-in. Not sure I’d want one, but it might work for others.
Girlie Bear commented that the NRAAM is more like a family reunion than anything else, and I think she hit the nail right on the head there.
