They are hosting a retailer education seminar with DPS, ATF, CCW & NICS. I'm going regardless but I have to say I am ignorant about nssf and it's relationship w/ these organizations....any members here??

Thanks!!

NSSF runs the SHOT Show and is, for all intents and purposes, the organization within the firearms industry. Most major (and quite a few minor) companies are members.

Thanks Todd...would have liked to see some nra involvement on this but maybe too political.

4 hour seminar.


I've got to make it to the shot show...

NSSF represents gun manufacturers.

NRA represents (mostly) gun owners.

I think.

though probably not related to your upcoming seminar, NSSF has a good junior shooting program (http://www.nssf.org/JRUSA/).

I'm a member. They are a good organization but as mentioned, represent the dealers, manufacturers, and other industry members. They run SHOT, as well as publish all kinds of marketing data, a magazine, etc. They support gun rights of course but also have seminars for dealers, manufacturers, etc on abiding by the law, keeping your license, etc.
