USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The NRA has opened up “Preregistration” for the October 24th, 2020, Members’ Meeting in Tucson, starting at NOON on September 15th, Arizona time!
We’re just over a month away from the NRA Annual Meeting, which has been twice moved and rescheduled, and which is now scheduled to take place in Tucson, Arizona on Saturday, October 24, 2020.
The venue for the meeting is a luxury resort hotel on the far north side of the city, with a large ballroom, but limited capacity under COVID restrictions. NRA watchers have been wondering how the Association plans to handle the situation, and on Monday, September 15, 2020, we found out.
We were informed that on Tuesday, September 16, people wishing to attend the Members’ Meeting in Tucson would need to preregister online, by going to www.nraam.org/membersmeeting.
Arizona’s current COVID restrictions are somewhat confusing. Public gatherings are limited to no more than 50 people, but a members-only event should not be considered a “public” gathering, which should mean that the maximum capacity should be approximately half the normal capacity for the venue. That should be approximately 500 people for the hotel ballroom that has been selected, but there are rumors that the limit will be much lower than that. Who knows? It’s also quite possible that the Governor of Arizona will decide to loosen COVID restrictions at some point between now and October 24. Again, who knows?
What matters right now is that everyone who is at all interested in attending the NRA Members’ Meeting in Tucson on October 24, get registered TODAY.
I’ll share any additional information as it becomes available.

I would go but I bet I’d get thrown out.
Something similar with me too but maybe a bit more mischief thrown in.
The future of the NRA may hinge on this meeting. It is time for LaPierre and his cronies to resign or be removed. I have stopped donating to the NRA and am supporting other gun rights organizations as have other members I know. LaPierre abused his position in the NRA and funded a lavish lifestyle at our expense. Not another dime from me until he is gone.
Ltbdb, I second that!
Don’t count on that idiot, Gov. Ducey, to do anything other than what is in what he sees as his own personal best interest, just like with his Covid “edicts”. If Soros or any other anti-gun group pays him the most, he’ll enforce restrictions and/or shut down the meeting. However, if LaPierre lets loose some of his ill gotten gains he’s siphoned off from the members and pays Ducey the most, the meeting will take place.
It’s not about what you’d rather do, but what you should do.
“What you should do.” What can we do (legally) to replace the Directors and Executives from the NRA at a meeting.
Nonsense
I say yes big time to what members should and can do. Lapierre knows exactly how the membership can take back the NRA and throw his sorry ass into the ditch. So far he’s been laughing his ass off watching the membership waste their time speechifying and whining, instead of studying and learning the 3 founding authorities of the NRA.
The bosses are weaponizing Covid to massively limit voting members attending the annual meeting, and will likely cull the registration list for their supporters thereby guaranteeing they dominate the meeting. Lapierre and his cohorts won control of the NRA by the membership stupidly passing bylaws that gave them unchecked power over 20 years ago. Lapierre knows the only way he can be defeated is by the members swarming an annual meeting, but that also takes membership knowledge of the Articles of Incorporation (charter), Bylaws (constitution) and Roberts Rules of Order (parliamentarian law and members rights). Lawsuits and choking the NRA… Read more »
