Re: NRA National Meeting May 3-6 -- Anybody Worried?
not complaining... simply stating that I've never been before so i actually almost threw the inserts away until i realize that THAT was the badge. nothing on it says "admission" or anything. I just thought it was an itinerary and was gonna toss it.thelurker wrote:Quit complaining already. You wanted in the exhibit...you're getting into the exhibit.

OK, my expectations were already very low. Extremely low. But no, somehow, the NRA hit the mark below the bar. I saw the letter. Looks great. I saw the badge holder. OK, it's an odd, nonstandard design. Fine. Wait, where's the badge? It's not in the holder. It's not on the letter or the letter itself. I looked in the envelope and saw a mailer insert buried in the bottom. Could that be it? No... it doesn't even look like a badge. It looks like an information sheet. It's not even on card stock! Oh, darn. But that's all I got. The mailer insert does fit in the badge holder though... Seriously, is that the badge? *sigh*
I would rather them spend money on keeping my 2A rights intact rather than having my name, rank and serial number emblazoned all over the place.
ETA: the insert states you can get an insignia to show your membership level, should you so desire. I couldn't care less, and will be attending as a "regular" member.

Not a big fan of getting lost. especially in the metroplex lol.strogg wrote:I'm still totally ... I'm clearly not a public transport guy.
Hey, anyone want to meet up at one of the DCTA stations on the morning of 5/4? That way, we can get completely lost together. Who knows. Maybe by the end of the day we'd end up in Brownsville.
