Wife and I got out there on Saturday. Took DART train, station was less than 5 minute drive from our hotel in Lewisville. Got off in parking garage at KBH convention center. Arrived about 9:30 and stayed until after 4. Agree with PriestTheRunner, Great show. Highlight for me was meeting and talking with Alice Trip from TSRA and Gila Hayes from Armed Citizen Legal Defense Fund.
Event was well planned and wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
When we got home and watched local news, reporter stated "thousands of anti-gun protestors demonstrate at NRA Convention." Then they show a shot of maybe a hundred. Only protestors we saw were six at the West End train station carrying signs. Wife's comment was that they looked like a bunch of bored, overweight, overage hippies that never got over demonstrating in the early 1970s.
I just wish I had more tme to spend, woul really have liked to take in some of the seminars, but just seeing the exhibit hall took ALL day.

Re: 147th Annual NRA Meeting in Dallas
OK, now I am getting really confused. I am coming up from Fort Hood on 4 May, but am NOT going to the Leadership Forum. I am only going to the exhibits at KBH Convention Center. I don't want to drive from Fort Hood ~3 hours to downtown Dallas, spend the evening after the exhibits close in downtown Dallas and then spend Friday night in a hotel and have the choice of either NOT carrying or of having to take the risk of locking my firearm in the car while I am at KBH.
Are we OK to carry if we are NOT going to the Leadership Forum, but will be in the exhibit hall and will NRA put this out officially?
