Attendance Way Down!

Salinas NRA Dinner last Saturday was full. Great venue (Laguna Seca Raceway), great steaks, lots of fun. Getting ready for next year - unless California declares us all terrorists...

Keep your powder dry.

Done, Diner and $100 later, took home a beautiful Sauer 100 XT. Next year, more money on raffle tickets as lots of stuff(guns) that would fit in nicely at my house. Think I've finished buying for my kids, time to focus on future grandkids.

Alan, thanks for your input. Tonight I will attend my first Friends of NRA diner in San Mateo and am completely psyched. I took my first handgun class with the NRA as Massachusetts required training to get handgun permit or even touch handgun at gun shop. I have never looked back and will continue to support the NRA as I have for the last 35 years. This year, I hope to get instructor ratings during Richmond Rod and Gun training week.

Same with me , 35 years and counting , plus I have won a gun the last 12 years straight at the FNRA dinners...

Some how there is a disconnect. I became a lifemember a couple of years ago, and never heard of the dinners or been connected with a local chapter.

Here is website to watch for local CA events. Better yet, pick another state and keep your cool stuff at your vacation home!

My streak ended at the last dinner. Was going for five in a row. I was giving them to my employees (if they didn't win one themselves) or donating them back to the cause. All the knives, mugs, coolers, and other cool stuff make great Christmas, Bday gifts for friends and family.

Still, the most important thing is helping the cause. Here in El Dorado County most of the proceeds go to youth marksmanship programs and the El Dorado County Explorers.

Next one is in March 2020!!.... If the state doesn't try to ban them like NYS tried.

I'm stockpiling $$ for 2020. Its not about guns or gear, but just a damn good time with (usually) good food and friends. If we don't support the cause we are going to lose.

I can understand why. As a life member I will not make additional donations until they become more accountable and restructure the management
Merry Christmas!

Again, FNRA supports LOCAL activities. None of the $$$ from the dinners goes to the national organization. You're in Auburn, you should come to the next dinner in Placerville in March. It's the biggest event in NorCal. You will come away with a different point of view.

I just laser marked a batch of GEN III kits for FNRA. They have the second ammendment on one side and the FNRA logo and Mercan flag on the other side. You might see a couple there.
