Ben Sasse or Mas Ayoob.
I did have another member contact me and ask that we invite Ben Sasse to the meeting. What do other members think? I wanted to shy away from folks that were on the campaign trail, though I can see value too.
Rob Pincus.... ;)
Former Navy Seal Brandon Webb. He runs a website sofrep.com. Author of the red circle. Very good speaker.

"Starting later than the norm for most competition shooters, she began her Olympic-style rifle career in the latter part of her high school days, but made up for time swiftly. She won gold at the international cup at Bisley, Enlgand and received a collegiate rifle scholarship to the University of Nebraska Lincoln. From there she made the national development team, competed in the World Championships, made the Olympic short-list, won national titles, and the list continues "

dont laugh but Justice Clarance Thomas. He is a huge Nebraska fan and wants to retire in Waverly when he retires. I would love to hear him speak on the second amendment.

Seminars this year at the members meeting:
"A Brief Intro to Tac Med Class" - Shawn Whittington of 88 Tactical Training. Shawn will cover essential components of and Immediate Aid Kit, pros and cons of commercial tourniquets, how and when to apply a tourniquet, pressure dressings and combination bandages, when and how to apply a combination bandage.
"Intro to IDPA Shooting" - Ron Attanasio of IDPA Nebraska. Ron will cover what is "IDPA (International Defensive Shooting Association) Shooting" including the history of IDPA, equipment needed, basic rules, match opportunities in NE, regionally and nationally, etc... He will also have an IDPA stage or two set up for demonstration.
"Defensive Awareness" - Thomas Howard of Precision Response Training. Thomas will cover Defensive awareness under stress, efficient area scans, and effective after-altercation actions. (This will take place in a pistol bay using inert training pistols)
Thomas will also have a Steel challenge stage set up for demonstration throughout the afternoon like last year.
"NFA Ownership" Scott Jansen of American Reaper Arms. Scott will be discussing the process and possibilities of NFA ownership, as well as bringing along some suppressors and machine guns to demo
In lieu of a guest speaker I vote we hold a "Point/Counterpoint" Debate featuring Thomas versus Shawn. Topic ...."Competition....It will get you Killed?" .... I'd pay extra for this event.....

Hello, I am going to drive out to GI on Sat. morning the 29th, and will pick up J Fade in Gretna at 06:00, I have room for 2 more if anyone else wants to carpool.
My plan is to return to Gretna after the awesome meeting. PM me if interested.
Nothing fancy unless I can talk Mama out of her Suburban.

Meeting is on the 23rdThanks Dan, it is fixed now.
We are meeting at the clubhouse, which is across from the trap and skeet range
Don't recall anything being restricted on Concealed Carry. We were asked not to open carry last year, but seems that Concealed was fine.
Just to let folks know---unless there is a significant amount of torrential rain (which there shouldn't be) or lightning, the Defensive Awareness seminar will be out on one of the pistol bays.
The clubhouse just isn't really set up for any type of large meeting, and we need some room to move around. You didn't think I'd just stand there and talk at you the whole time, did you? :)
(And I know plenty of people who have CCW-ed there numerous times.)
A quick question about the Steel Challenge setup in GI.
Was that Smoke and Hope that was set up there?
Just trying to compare to my past times.
It was great meeting everyone. Thanks to all who had a role in planning and organizing the event. Sorry I wasnt able to be there for the morning events. It sounds like I missed some good stuff.
I came woefully unprepared bringing no business cards or pamphlets (didnt even bring a gun to participate in the shooting events :'()
If anyone has any questions about the med gear I brought, Tac Med training or 88 Tactical in general I can be contacted through this forum or by email (swhittington@88tactical.com)
