NRA members and industry insiders nationwide will be flocking to the 142nd NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits next week, and you can bet that the AmericanRifleman.org team will be on hand at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas from May 2 to 5 in order to bring you all the latest news and releases.

Over 550 exhibitors will be spread out across more than 400,000 square feet exhibit hall space—alongside with educational seminars, celebrities and special NRA events. There'll be no shortage of things to cover in Houston, and you can count on the AmericanRifleman.org team to make sure you don't miss a second of the action.
