Street scenes outside the NRA convention.

Charlotte hosted the 2010 National Rifle Association Annual Meeting (NRAAM) over this past weekend. The NRA reports that up to 70,000 people visited the convention.

On Friday afternoon, crowds slowly began to file out of the arena after Sarah Palin’s speech. There were no guns to be seen; the only hostlers were those for cell phones. Several tour buses were parked along Trade Street, their diesel engines idling. In front of the coaches stood women holding signs reading, “To Charlotte Convention Center.” The buses slowly filled and departed on their three block trek from the arena to the convention center.

    Why is it that a man walking around with a $200,000 check looks so awkward?

    What was made known to me by my mother set my course; even then. ‘The internet’
    the thing that would be very popular around the time of my college age. Dave Felt
    good about said future. Time crept along; was all the time praying; what I would at
    least try to get done. —————————————————–
