According to the AP, almost 70,000 people are expected to show up in April for the NRA’s annual convention.

The gun-loving organization that’s gathering at the Indiana Convention Center April 25-27 has never held its show in Indianapolis, and it tends to stay quiet about its demographics. That has many in the city playing a guessing game as they try to determine what will best entice visitors to part with their cash.

Last year’s convention in Texas came amid a resulting national debate about gun-control laws that intensified after the December 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. The 2013 event drew a record crowd of 86,228, up 15 percent from 2012.

Attendance in Indianapolis is expected to be lower, but the event is still expected to have a $55.4 million economic impact on the city. The convention will be the second-largest non-sports gathering and third-biggest for economic impact, said Chris Gahl, Visit Indy vice president of marketing and communications.

It pays to be pro-gun, besides, when was the last time the enemy hosted an anti-gun convention? Would anyone even show up? What would they sell? Bumperstickers and T-Shirts? Good luck with that

Indianapolis leaders spent about a decade working to land the convention despite the group’s critics.

City officials say they are prepared for the possibility of demonstrators surrounding the convention center.

Marc Lotter, spokesman for Mayor Greg Ballard, said city officials will work to keep everyone safe but won’t inhibit anyone’s right to free speech.

“We respect their First Amendment rights and we’d expect that they would respect our First and Second Amendment rights,” Arulanandam said.
