Show photos, Part 3
I snapped a few more pictures on my final pass through this year's NRA Show, which seemed quieter than others I've attended. One reason may have been that alcoholic beverages were confined to an area called the International Wine, Spirits & Beer Event -- a dimly lit area that had none of the pizazz of the Show floor.
Meanwhile, three protesters, who popped out of their seats during Sen. John McCain's speech, generated excitement and a considerable amount of hostility. After they were shown the door by grim-faced board members, McCain said something humorous and the inhospitable audience settled down. Sorry. I forgot to take pictures.
