Every gun manufacturer with every gun will be there. I will be checking out the new Springfield M1A as well as the Ruger revolvers I have been interested in. If you like AR-15's, everyone who makes one and parts for one will be there. Every accessory known to mankind and a few that aren't known will be on display.
Thursday we will be checking out a new offering, the outdoor Freedom Festival. Not entirely sure what this is.

Friday we are hitting the workshop Defensive Shooting Skills Development and then the Leadership Forum, last year there were speeches from Sarah Palin, Mitch McConnell, the Col. Oliver North, Milwaukee county sheriff David Clarke, and a host of others.
This year at the Leadership forum every republican prospective candidate will be there-
Jindal, Bush, Walker, Pence, Perry, Rubio, Santorum, Cruz, Palin, Huckabee, and even the Donald (Trump). This part should a hoot.

Friday night is a free outdoor concert in downtown Nashville with Hank Williams Jr. (this should be a hoot too).

Saturday morning we will attend the Annual Meeting of Members and hear from all the NRA top Brass - Wayne, Chris and president Jim Porter.

Later we will do a workshop on emerging world threats from former CIA guy Steve Tarani and then one just for fun on Sniping in WW I (maybe pick up pointers on the Mosin.
).Sat. night we will attend a paid concert with Alan Jackson and Jeff Foxworthy.

Sunday morning is the prayer breakfast and then we will hit Dr. John Lott's talk on "The Coming Tidal Wave of Misinformation About Guns"

Somewhere in between we will try to get to the book signing for Donald Rumsfeld. The timing doesn't look good though.

Last year we also did seminars with Kyle Lamb (former Delta Force) and Lot. Col. Grossman. They will both be there, but time may not permit repeats.
The cool part is you could skip all this and still fill up three days with what's left.
