NRA Expo
NRA expo in Louisville this weekend.
Anyone going?
It's free for NRA members.
My son went to the one in Nashville last year and said it was a really good show, and he hates crowds, so if he had a good time it was an event worth going to.
I'm heading down to see what they have.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
I was hoping to go, but my wife's sisters planned our baby shower for this weekend. My wife seems to think I should stay home for that.
"When young men seek to be like you, when lazy men resent you, when powerful men look over their shoulder at you, when cowardly men plot behind your back, when corrupt men wish you were gone and evil men want you dead; Only then will you have done your share." -Phil Messina
I really want to. But I am not going to make this one. I have wanted to go for a long time. I have already reserved the dates for next year. I will make it! Enjoy it and tell me what all I missed.

Used to be a baby shower was a pregnant girls' night out. No men allowed. We were banned from the premises and if we had hung around there would have been dirty looks, snide comments and questions about our manhood! We were not even expected to be in the same town.
Perfect time for a trip to the NRA show!

I was thinking the same thing as Kyratshooter.
Not often heard of guys welcomed at a baby shower.
There will never be an NRA expo close enough to where I live in order to go. No vendors are going to want to travel through New Yorkistan to get to New England.
If we are to have another contest in…our national existence I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's, but between patriotism & intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition & ignorance on the other…

If I had a nickel for every time some guy couldn't do something because he had to go to a baby shower I'd have......a nickel. Sorry man, that's a first for me. My wife always told me I had to find something to do as far away as possible.
Yeah.....?....I was kinda wondering as well......?
Oh well, it's a whole new world......

That rips it!
When the grand babies (closer than I want to think about) start having babies it may tick them off but granddad is not going to be there playing truth or dare and baby blanket bingo!

Baby showers are so retro and old fashioned, dude. The hip modern thing is to have a gender identity announcement party where the child's gender (as determined by amniocentesis) is announced by pink smoke (girl XX) or blue smoke (boy XY).

The sadder part is that apparently xx and xy have little to do with one's gender identity.
XX--Xy, reminds me of my wife in the midst of two sons and a husband always claiming she was surrounded by people with broken chromosomes.
Gender identity my sweet @$$ !!
A store can put a "No guns" circle crossout sign on their door and strip me of my Constitutional rights but they can't keep a pervert out of the ladies room!

Good Lord....Now you see the reason for the 50 year old Geezer rule........
We are headed down to the corner saloon for a cold one or six.....

Where am I when all the lady perverts come in the men's room? Huh? That never happens to me. I guess those gals were right about that ten foot pole.
ha ha... with all this crap on the radio... and TV that I cant watch anymore... I walked into a Men's public bathroom last week at a nearby gas convenience store and there was a 10 year old girl with long blond hair down to his a$$ standing at the urinal.... I wanted to say something.... but busted out laughing when he attempted to dry his hands after washing at the "hair dryer" - Mini Me Fabio....I just can't make this stuff up.
Oh wow - from the posts above....good luck on the baby shower... have you called a freind, offered a 50/50, asked the audience? - I would bow out gracefully and tell her Billy Bob invited me fishing,,,and He needs me to buy the gas..... just saying... You are not there to deliver the package...

“There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag … We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language … and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

I was shocked two short months ago, when attending my niece in laws baby shower ( On a THURSADY NIGHT?? ) I questioned the choice of date and time and was told by my sister that that was the only time that CHRIS could be there....WHY does Chris have to be there? It's a baby shower, MEN DO NOT ATTEND BABY SHOWERS! They do now days I was informed. Turns out he was not the only dude there.
The times, they are a changin' smh
