Does it bother anyone else that the NFOA FB page has just under 20,000 "Likes", yet we commonly have less than 100 in attendance at our annual meeting, and less than a half dozen who show up at any state or local gun legislation hearings?

I actually agree with you. But I get it. I want to go to meetings, rallies, etc. But I work 50 plus a week. Every other minute I'm try to be a decent father and husband. I realize I'm making excuses. But, I am trying to explain why I can see both sides of the coin.
One thing we can do is call and write our reps, both on the state and federal levels. Become the squeaky wheel.

As an organization, if we want to further organize, might want to have a social event to help consolidate. Maybe a board idea? I might be able to provide some pulled pork. I've been told it's a Nebraska favorite. :P

I replied earlier. I am going to try to start making the meetings in Gretna on Saturday mornings. Like I said, it is often difficult with a6 month old kiddo, but I want to try to be involved.
Also I think another good thing would be to pay in the NFOA Facebook page. Larger reach. And share. Social media is too we can use like the other side uses it. Don't post smear campaigns and spin news. Post fact based, real news and articles.

These events are on the eastern side of the state. It's unlikely I'll attend any of them. On occasion, I do contact legislators to give them my thoughts (on a variety of subjects).
