Sometimes things are downright funny no matter how you look at them. Take, for instance, the upcoming NRA Convention. It's scheduled to take place in a most gun loving state, Tennessee. I say gun loving because you can carry a gun almost anywhere and the state legislature is seriously considering a new law that says you can carry a gun in any park in the state and local municipalities can't pass any laws prohibiting them.
At any rate, the NRA's annual Convention will include hundreds of booths showing the latest in firearms for the interested public. Just one thing though. The firing pins must be removed before bringing any firearm into the convention center. You can't be too safe when it comes to gun safety is the apparent byword for the NRA.
You heard that right, the NRA, the organization that seems to want everyone to legally pack heat anywhere, anytime, except to it's own convention. After all, the NRA's Annual Convention isn't just anyplace and it doesn't happen just any old time. You can see the difference, can't you? I just hope this absence of firing pins won't render the NRA afoul of any Tennessee laws.
Now just in case you were planning on attending this year's gala, with the intent of purchasing your favorite choice, be assured you will still be allowed to buy one. Of course you can't actually take possession of it until you get back home. It'll be shipped to the nearest federally licensed dealer. Again safety is the watchword here.
Don't get me wrong, I'm in favor of good sound thinking and clear eyed planning in order to avoid any unfortunate mishap. I just wish the NRA was as clear headed in all of the rest of it's actions and words. A little sound planning can save a lot of anguish later on. You don't suppose the NRA has turned over a new clip, do you? Heck, I'd settle for a new leaf.
