With Palin, Beck and Norris, NRA expects N.C. convention to be biggest ever
By Jim Morrill | The Charlotte Observer


The last time the National Rifle Association came to Charlotte, then-NRA president Charlton Heston thrust a musket in the air and shouted what would become a signature slogan: "From my cold, dead hands!"

Now the NRA is back.

The city's largest-ever convention opens Thursday at the uptown Charlotte Convention Center. Organizers expect up to 70,000 visitors to pump at least $20 million into the local economy. So packed are hotels that even Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps had a hard time finding a room for this weekend's UltraSwim.

"It's bigger than anything we've had," said Moira Quinn of Charlotte Center City Partners.

Some 400 firearms manufacturers, collectors and other vendors will occupy 300,000 square feet of exhibit space.

Speakers include former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, broadcaster Glenn Beck and actor Chuck Norris.

Based on an NRA survey, 4 out of 5 of the convention visitors will be men. ..........(more)

Take care, anyone in Charlotte.

Most of the NRA membership are cocked and loaded for Sarah Palin's appearance and speech, all of 'em will then painstakingly oil up and buff out their pistols to a burnished blue-balled hue in their hotel rooms afterward...:P
