The 146th National Rifle Association Annual Meetings and Exhibits Sponsored by MidwayUSA is scheduled for April 27-30, 2017, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Tens of thousands of NRA members and Second Amendment supporters are expected to attend the four-day celebration of freedom. With 15 acres of guns and gear, this year's event will be the biggest NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits ever.

The unstoppable, independent country music artist recently released his new album, “Vaquero,” featuring the hit “Outta Style.” It is the follow-up to Watson’s history-making album, “The Underdog,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, making him the first-ever independent solo male country artist to debut in the top spot.

For more than half a decade, NRA Country has developed and maintained strong ties to the country music community in Nashville, Tenn.

Aaron Lewis, who fronted the wildly successful rock group Staind, has 13 million albums sold worldwide and four consecutive top-three debuts on Billboard’s Top 200, including the single “It’s Been Awhile,” which remains the most-played rock song of the decade.

Of course the annual NRA Meetings and Exhibits is packed with good folks, guns and Second Amendment fervor, but you may not realize the growing number of country music acts that take the stage both after hours and during the show itself. Inasmuch, this annual gathering has evolved from a business-like affair to a near-continuous live event where members can expect to not only be enlightened but entertained.

The NRA knows how to put on a show as last night's "NRA Presents Toby Keith" concert in Louisville, Ky., showcased epic entertainment at the 145th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits.

The like-minded women of the NRA are bringing new life and new energy into the organization in the name of freedom and friendship.

There aren't many things that qualify as more American than country music, firearms and freedom.
