There were a bunch of happy faces leaving the 2015 Friends of NRA banquet last night, new gun owners, lucky ticket holders and persistent auction buyers.

This was my second year to host the event and I want you to know how much I appreciate getting to do it. Although I don't officially represent the Friends of NRA I just wanted to toss my thanks to the folks who make this happen. There were a lot of changes this year and your constructive feedback is encouraged. It's a giant undertaking and I'm sure you will join me in thanking the folks and the hard work that goes into putting on an event of this size. ;
