I prefer an open carry community event (clean-up, walk for life, etc.) which has several benefits: (1) It gets peolpe used to seeing handguns carried openly; (2) It should definatley stir-up some media coverage, which will bring in new members to NFOA and let lawmakers know we're large voting block; (3) Charity is good thing to do.

It is time for this to happen. I think if we put on a competion shoot with the banquet afterwards, that would be great. I realize this will probably be small the first year, so we could manage it together. I am near Kearney, so a little too far west for getting the maximum number of attendees, but would make sure I came to it as long as it isn't in Omaha. The Columbus idea would work, Lincoln would work, the suburbs of Omaha would work, Grand Island would be even better.

If someone could get us real discounts on motel rooms wherever it is going to happen, that would be even better.

I spoke with the manager at Sleep Inn, they are not offering group rates at this time (summer) however later in the year (August) they may be able to make some kind of deal for NFOA members.

The board is still talking about putting something together as we speak. It's just very difficult to coordinate everyone's schedules, and compounded by the fact that we just aren't sure what to expect for the first event.

Believe us, we'll get something together, and use what we learn from the first one to help us plan future events.

Baby steps first then continue to get bigger and better. I think some of us are just ready to get this going full speed. Patience is not my thing sometimes......I'm working on that though.

The Board has not come up with a plan yet that meets everyone's satisfaction.   The June 28th date is not viable at this point.

My guess is this fall will be the soonest it will happen.

Update gathering will not be in June. July is still an option.
We want plenty of time for members to plan for there attendance and this is no small task.
Shooting may not be a part of the gathering as there are few Gun Clubs willing to rent there property for this type of event. Remember we are many and we will need a place large enough for feeding, parking etc. The burner is on and the idea not forgotten.

I would love it if we sponsered a pistol or military-style rifle shooting competition. I'm sure I wouldn't win a darn thing (I'm not the best shot :P) but it would sure be fun! :)

Firearms and alcohol don't mix well.  ;)

Any NFOA event where firearms are carried will not include alcohol.

That's definitely a good automatic rule. I assumed it was in place anyhow.  ;D

I am a member of the Eastern Nebraska Gun Club and I know that there are other members of the NFOA that are members also.  Have we asked them..??; and Maybe the members of the ENGC could get together and make a proposal to the board and have the competition/picnic/get-together there...??

Any thoughts from other ENGC members or members the NFOA..??
