I have heard that "Friends of the NRA dinner is sometime in November....?  Where  ? When...? can someone help me out ?

nov 2nd one in kona at king kam hotel

Hows the food?

Food was pretty good at the Oahu one.

Since its a private event on private property are we allowed to carry?
If no why not , aren't we pushing to allow state Carry?
If yes , I'm going!!!!!!

The event is held on the Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station. If you can carry there, go ahead. I don't think anybody at the event will care.....

You will need to check with the Provost Marshall at Marine Corps Base Hawaii. They are not very tolerant of open carry unless you are an armed sentry or Staff Duty Officer or NCO on duty.

I would advise against open carry.

10 November is the Marine Corps Birthday. There will probably be a few on base celebrating and the MPs will be extra vigilant.

You are a guest of the NRA. Don't spoil the party.

They aren't too fond of concealed carry either...I was being a bit facetious in my response, knowing full well that open or concealed carry by anyone except the MPs, contracted security, or NCIS (or other Federal or local LE),  IS NOT allowed. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

It would get very exciting on base.

Very ironic, that a group that advocates carry be it open or conceled, would discourage it at its own event.

None of the posts I've seen in this thread discouraged any carrying.  They simply said do your own research and if you qualify. 
Which posts specifically are you referring to?

None of the organizers of the event nor the NRA itself are attempting to be negative.  People are simply advising that you follow the rules of the Military base on which it is being held.  It is lucky enough that the military is allowing the event to be hosted on their base.  This definitely shows that they are not in opposition to the NRA or what the pro firearms crowd represent.  On the other hand the Militiary base has rules that need to be followed,  which others suggest that you abide by and not be one of those "open carry" types out to prove a point, spoil an event and make everyone look bad.  I find it more ironic that a good worthwhile event is being held, yet someone like yourself just wants to put a negative spin on it.  We are often our own worse enemy.

I'm an advocate for concealed carry myself.  Waiting for my nonresident permit from Maine at the moment.

I don't encourage people to break the law to make a point.  Some have security clearances, and most own firearms.  Why would you take the risk of losing either?

Such an asinine comment!
