Re: NRA Disinvites US Concealed Carry Association
Is this outfit, USCCA, the same that publishes the magazine?
If so, I dropped my subscription after the 1st year I subscribed.
Why?
They were continually trying to sell me this or that and frankly, the magazine was completely repetitive and boring.

Re: NRA Disinvites US Concealed Carry Association
The NRA is constantly trying to separate me from my money but they very well serve my 2A rights wants and needs. Without them we would all have our guns registered/confiscated by now. USCCA years ago put me off with a "your family will die if you don't listen to us" message of sorts and there are a ton of other people, businesses and organizations for proper firearm tactics and training. My take on this statement is the NRA likes to do things their way and simply don't agree with USCCA methods which may or may not be a business decision.

If that's the reason then frankly I don't blame NRA. It is a business after all, and it makes no sense to allow your competitors to use your venue to promote their business.
I'm sure that behind closed doors, everything is good. Business aside, all are on the same side when it comes to protecting the 2A.

I think every exhibitor has been placed on notice that should the NRA make a product or call one an endorsed product anyone else making the same product will not be allowed to participate in NRA show.parabelum wrote:If that's the reason then frankly I don't blame NRA.

NRA definitely sending message that their show is no longer "big tent" where all firearms related products are welcome.

I do know why SCD isn't attending, and the Ammoland article could not be more inaccurate. This is what happens when someone speaks based upon a hunch or no information at all. No, I'm not at liberty to discuss it.bblhd672 wrote:https://www.ammoland.com/2017/04/anothe ... z4fG7xBT8q

I hope there is more to this.

Re: NRA Disinvites US Concealed Carry Association
Our annual convention is ongoing and everyone is in Atlanta. We have back-to-back meetings, committee meetings and events to attend leading up to the official opening on Friday. Then we have the same things going until our Board meeting on Monday. We don't have time to play social media games. Plus, we don't respond to every false statement made about the NRA on the Internet, whether it comes from the Bloomberg crowd, or allegedly pro-gun persons/groups each with their own agenda.ELB wrote:So NRA could short circuit the misinfo by stating what the problem is.Charles L.

Re: NRA Disinvites US Concealed Carry Association
Two competitors to their new program have been dropped from the event. That's not false. "Optics" (and I hate that word in this use) are what they are, the airline industry has learned that hard the last month. The NRA should face it and answer to them, or deal with the fact that they look like they don't want competition at their event.

Re: NRA Disinvites US Concealed Carry Association
The importance of social media interaction these days is paramount to the success of any company, the NRA included. If they aren't having a two way conversation with people on Facebook, Twitter, etc....they should be.
I fear, and have feared for a long time that the NRA will lose the power they once had if the fail to interact with a millennials in a meaningful way. I would venture to guess the average age of NRA members is going up each year as the old supporters die off and they fail to lock in today's youth.
If you want to see some expert level social media interaction, follows "Wendy's" on twitter. They social media game is strong.
