The big traditional meeting is on as the National Rifle Association has revealed that its annual gathering will take place May 27-29 at a 1.9-million-square-foot venue in Houston. In years past, this bodacious event has attracted up to 80,000 attendees.

“The 151st Annual Meetings & Exhibits will be held at the George R. Brown Convention Center over Memorial Day weekend. Thousands of dues-paying members and many more law-abiding Americans will gather for the family-friendly event featuring a bigger-than-ever exhibit hall boasting approximately 800 exhibitors, events, receptions, and demonstrations,” the organization said in a statement shared with Inside the Beltway.

“Attendees will get a look at the latest guns, knives, optics, ammo and accessories available on the market today. They can also book the hunt of a lifetime, purchase shooting and hunting accessories, view priceless gun collections and hear some of the most influential, pro-Second Amendment experts in the nation,” the group said.
