@ramv36 the '07 NRA Convention was a huge deal for St Louis: it was the largest meeting/convention our city had hosted since the 1904 World's Fair!

Congrats to Allen! I was there for opening day here at the Hazelwood, Missouri Cabela's and it was quite an event. They scheduled the Grand Opening the same weekend as the '07 NRA National Convention in St Louis, and they only allowed NRA members to attend, so it felt exclusive.
It was neat attending the opening of the largest outdoor store within 100 miles, then go straight to the largest gun show in the Western Hemisphere.
I would highly recommend attending a NRA National Meeting!
