Willes K. Lee – NRA Board of Directors

First to know about CNP, is sorta, not exactly, like a Fight Club thing. I can tell that I am a member but cannot divulge who are any other members. There are many guest and visitors so the photos and names are not an indication of membership, though they may be, though maybe not. Get it?

Who’s done NASCAR Hall of Fame? Totally fun evening. Not that I’m competitive or anything, but the stopped *ss who I t-boned on the backstretch dropped me to 6 of 50, but it was all fun, all friends, & no animals were hurt using the simulators. 148 mph isn’t so fast w people doing 160. CNP (more about this group later) dinner included keynote by BFF Hall of Famer Richard Childress Richard Childress Racing & NRA – National Rifle Association of America 1VP, who was introduced by BFF fav NRA 2VP Carolyn Meadows. This history (& stories) in this place!!  #NASCAR NASCAR CNP #Charlotte #fast #feeltheneed

Yeah, you know, if you hang out long enuf, NASCAR Hall of Famer Richard Childress of Richard Childress Racing (50th 

anniversary next year!) & NRA – National Rifle Association of America 1st VP will give a couple 

hints before you strap in the simulator. His leadership w NRA hunter mentorship program helping to rejuvenate America’s love for the outdoors… & he is a plain ole good (& friggin highly successful) southern boy determined to #MAGA. Theme for his keynote at NASCAR Hall of Fame “only in America”. #holdmybeer #NRA #NRABoard @WillesLee NRA’s American Hunter (Official) #M2AGA #2A

Had one (or two) of these? Hit this lobby for a weekend conference. Knew immediately that I’d been here. I call ‘em PTSD moments, not like actual PTSD, just like a not-so-good experience seared into my little brain (before haters go off, please check the bio). About 4-5 years ago, we did RNC meeting same place. About 2AM, computer dies. Down to the lobby for a geek or some help. On the phone, computer whiz asks what city I’m in and …. nothing, at all. That year, too many cities, stops, travel. Had to ask the clerk what city. Had a ‘can’t recall the city’ moment? or state? BFF Chad M Barth loaned me his “spare” computer (who travels w a spare ‘cept really savvy travelers?) Turns out city is Charlotte, site of 2020 Republican National Convention, & I’m back for another conference. #goodfriends #perspective #transparency #neverends #ontheroadagain 

Banquet keynote Jim Jordan got off elevator unescorted looking for the Green Room, me: “this is why you need a green room so people aren’t stopping you for pics”. As Pres National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA), supporting the national effort to make him US House Speaker.

BFF Catherine Glenn Foster Pres/CEO Americans United for Life, catching her breath as she came off the big stage. Scored a 24th floor view. Sat next to BFF fav Cleta Mitchell is always, always, working. #conservative #winning #America

So, another CNP evening, our great #MAGA #conservative Mick Mulvaney (also see House Freedom Caucus) is casually cruising thru reception. Went for scotch when the conversation got like 3 levels above my little brain. No decorum. BFF Marjorie Dannenfelser Susan B. Anthony List Boss, spoke & was departing in her ride, yeah, door closed, when I popped in to ask for a pic. Marjorie a great sport. Greeted dynamo Carol M Swain for Nashville looking for next after her shot in Mayor’s race.  #NARCAR great Jeff Hammond is on our NRA – National Rifle Association of America Hunters Cmte, me “like meeting a celebrity in a room full of celebrities”. #conservativesolutions #CNP #WillesLee #Charlotte #politics #myflag #winning #freedom #grassroots #merica #VOTE We have formal pics but these are more funner.  Disclaimer: I can tell that I am CNP member, but can’t finger others. So some may be, some are visitors. Important that #NFRA (& #NRA) participate.

Coming up. This is going to be fun. We’re doing some “interesting” stuff, they just don’t yet know it w Shooting Whisperer Dan Meadows at Ken DeytonTT&T.

Great time, great shooting w “Shooting Whisperer” Dan Meadows TAP3X Group of Companies, great Ken Deyton family-land facility incl shooters supported by The NRA Foundation grants. More to come on this growing experience.

“Where no man has gone……” Shooting Whisperer BFF Dan Meadows TAP3X Group of Companies & I had no comm coverage, at all, in this hilly far-western NC hollar www.triggers-traps-trout.com shooting range(s) owned by our friend Ken Deyton. Look forward to sharing shooting vid & pics. VERY grateful to Ken & especially Dan for training & incredible (southern) hospitality w wonderful @lyndameadows. Thank you.

What we got done, in not a lot of time. Dan Meadows TAP3X Group of Companies took me from 0 to 60. This is where you want to train. His collage is SOME of what we did. I’ll post some fun vid & photo when I finish this current conference. #repetition #alwayscarry

Ok, truth be told, Board members in politics, during the Kavanaugh confirmation & a month before the General, don’t get a lot of time to shoot. Used the Charlotte #CNP meeting as an excuse to get a couple days w BFF Dan Meadows TAP3X Group of Companies in Asheville w @kendeyton (& later into the Smokey Mountains). Why we train (& can use more), back to basics: Draw & fire (again & again). Multiple targets. Double tap. Borrowing Dan’s DPMS Panther Arms #AR15 w EOTech sight on metal. My Smith and Wesson Productions #AR multiple target, double tap, iron sights hitting metal on the hillside.
It was hot as heck for October, & the mountains are beautiful as ever. Then, had to shave & get into a suit for the weekend conference. #bangbang #firearmstraining 

Got ‘em, a coupla times. #pewpew #AR #AR15 #ironsights  #SecondAmendment#goodguywithagun #M2AGA #DefenderofFreedom
For snowflake antigun Dems (so redundant), please note the painted-white target.

Another day, another range w “Shooting Whisperer” Dan Meadows TAP3X Group of Companies at Mountain Range. We’re in Waynesville NC, like almost in TN. Drill w .45 is double tap center of mass, double to throat, double to head. Slight change of stance takes getting used to.
Thought (think again) I was a little proficient. Best is making a good, close friend from a guy who firmly, mostly gently, consistently corrects your head, arms, back, speed, draw, stance, attitude, feet, hands, accuracy, … you get the idea from your training. A day back in politics makes me wanting to be back shooting in the mountains w Dan.
Anyone else w good (or bad) training experiences?#NRA #NRABoard #WillesLee #pewpew #gunporn @WillesLee #firearms #guns #shooting #CCW #freedom www.WillesLee.com #2A #ICarryMySafePlace #merica Willes Lee NRA Board of Directors

A break in the shooting w Ken Deyton of Trigger, Trap, & Trout in the NC mountains. #keepshooting #molonlabe 

Already out of the mountains, headed to next event at NASCAR Hall of Fame.

Doh. Told that “they” just closed ORD. More ugly wx. Ugh.

We’re AMM-Con Amm-Con 2018 today. This is Alternative Media, #2A voices across all platforms. Sharing, teaching. I’m honored to speak tomorrow at the beginning of Second Amendment Foundation #GRPC.

Pleased & honored to speak to Second Amendment Foundation #GRPC first thing this morning. 300 at that time, up to about 450 by midday from across the nation, many local Illinois (& Indiana). Great to pass on what I see at NRA – National Rifle Association of America, #2A movement, #myflag

Great job speaking today to big crowd at #GRPC. Now, back to home for SATs and college applications. Kyle Kashuv.

BFFs, yes, favs who come to Second Amendment Foundation #GRPC. Amanda Suffecool & Charlie Cook during AMM-Con, Sam Slom at opening reception, Cheryl Todd interview w Mark Walters. Plus random pic of left third of the ballroom.

Packed schedule at Second Amendment Foundation. This is yesterday. How many speakers do you know?

At the end of April, NRA Institute for Legislative Action sent me to speak at rally of 3000 like-minded on the steps of their state Capitol organized by Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus. This weekend they brought the leadership team to Second Amendment Foundation #GRPC. Wanna know how to make a caucus of 2A people effective?, study this gang.

From my remarks at Second Amendment Foundation #GRPC Chicago last week, “The obscene funding …. the obscene funding especially for the antigun effort, those gun control laws, is how Bloomberg is having an effect. And, it isn’t really about guns, it’s all about Bloomberg running for President in 2020.” Grrrrrrrr #getwoke #politics #nocompromise #SecondAmendment

Second Amendment Foundation stage time. Gotta have fun. Excerpt from my remarks: “If we want our Second Amendment rights in the future, regardless of litigation or legislation, we need to grow the base of folks who support the second Amendment. Invite someone “historically less involved”, not just in politics, to the range, to a competition, on a hunt, or to this conference next year. Get out of our comfortzone.” #freedom #OutreachCommittee #outreach#inclusion #racistguncontrol  #ShallNotBeInfringed #merica (disclaimer, I am Chairman NRA Outreach Committee seeking “historically less involved”)

Sunday gunday, from 30,000 feet.  “Get out of our comfort zone.”
My pleasure to again address remarks to Second Amendment Foundation #GRPC in Chicago. Covering a lot of ground, comments come as NRA Outreach Committee Chairman. Not an NRA Spokesman, you get my opinions.

NRA Board met this weekend, committee meetings all last week (more on that after some sleep). Take away: Col Oliver North is now NRA – National Rifle Association of America President & now we #StandandFight. We have 6M (twice the size of US Armed Forces), pushing for 12M. If you’re not a member, we need you. Join, please. www.NRA.org. #myflag

Long and detailed Outreach Committee discussion of “Project Exile”, Richmond 1997. Wayne LaPierre presented the history, players, and a concept to move “exile” into the current dangerous, murder-filled cities. Watch for it in this next year. NRA going on the offensive.

NRA Board met last week. Best is working w dozens of amazingly effective 2A leaders. THIS is the tip of the spear. Honored & humbled to be assigned SIX committees this year, uh, so days for anything extracurricular are gone (hitting the Capitol, Museum, Range, Friends dinner, & such). Most of mine are political-focused & absolutely involved in this election year- Legislative Policy, Federal Affairs, Grassroots Development. Many side meetings & prep for next committee suck up time usually for discussions w friends.
Biggest news is to install Col Oliver North as President & his formal mission to increase our #SecondAmendment strength & power by doubling membership from 6M to 12M.
This is no longer about just 2A – progressive socialists have made this also about #freedom, 1A, & #racistguncontrol. I am also a GOA & SAF member, among others,…BUT… . IF YOU ARE NOT AN NRA MEMBER, or do not upgrade your membership, YOU ARE RISKING YOUR (& my) #2A during a very precarious election year. Please join, upgrade. More details of this meeting & NRA direction later at blog www.WillesLee.com. (pic is small desert decoration, all sugar but couldn’t bring myself to eat it.) #winning #commonsense #guns #gunowners #firearms #ShallNotBeInfringed 

Dianna Muller-3 Gun, #badass for short. So, see, one gets to the NRA Board & Committees & then wonders “how the heck did I get here” w these incredible #2A leaders. (Later to find that every single member thinks the same.) Last year, pics were Board members, this year is a few fav friends. We’re reps for our #SecondAmendment community, & Dianna Liedorff Mulleris the best. On committees, & we sat in on as many other meetings as possible, she brings it. You know our shy, reserved Di. Had a blast introducing her … 20-year career LEO, The DC Project, Team Benelli 3-gun Captain &, oh, this summer took her shotgun to World’s in France for #2 on the entire PLANET…. out of breath before mentioning anything personal. I’m on only one shooting Committee, co-Chairman Collegiate Programs w Chair Dave Butz, Di can invaluably input to all of them, plus plus. Be proud of her, & be glad she is representing. If you’re not an NRA member, regardless of the reason, you are hurting our 2A movement.

With Tiffany Johnson & Lucretia Hughes joining this year, I’m humbled as Chairman of NRA Outreach Committee. These ladies #bringit on a committee w incredible returners co-Chairman Allen West, Rick Figueroa, Chris Cheng, Antonia Okafor, Ashlee Lundvall, Niger Innis, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr, immediate past-Chair Antonio Hernandez, past NRA Pres Allen Cors, Bill Bachenberg, Leon V. Mosley, Amy Heath Lovato, also incoming members Mark Keith Robinson, Javier Ortiz. You get why this is humbling?? We have many who participate, bc all of us in #2Aare doing “outreach”, but capped the committee size bc everyone wants in. All NRA leadership, all, sat w us the entire meeting, bc this is high-level stuff. Last fall, when BFF Maj Toure accepted my invite to speak in cmte, the room burst out the walls, & he was most popular when then-NRA President Pete Brownell invited him to the NRA President’s reception. We’re talking inclusion, & if this group doesn’t show that we’re already diverse, then it is your problem. Can we “include” more?, hell yeah, & we’re doing it, including reminding folks that we’re the oldest civil-rights org in US. Not a shy wall-flower in this group (don’t know from where that term came so if you think it’s #racist then you need help). From my committee report: “discussion was rambunctious, candid, sometimes very blunt”. Uh huh. We’re #winning, & if you’re not an NRA member, you are missing the boat. We need you, you need us. More meeting details at www.WillesLee.com blog later this week. #transparency #politics #shootingsports #M2AGA #StopTheCarnage #StandandFight 

“This right here is bad assery.” BEST quote of the week. Ok, so I’m late to whatever next NRA committee meeting during this week of NRA Board & pass this dude in the hallway. He’s like “I see your Tab, thanks for your service.” I’m like “no shit, but you’re the real thing. Where’d you get hit?” We talk, he was w 75th, more of his story & “bad assery” is below. He is on an NRA committee, I’m on the NRA Military and Veterans Affairs Committee- invited him to our meeting. Trevor Baucom parked his wheelchair smack behind NRA President/Mil & Vet Cmte Chairman Oliver North, met & spoke w Ollie after the meeting. I much appreciate all our gun orgs, but defy you to find one more powerful or effective as NRA. Friends, if you’re not joining into this, the NRA & guys such as Trevor, or upgrading membership, then you are hurting us, plain and simple. h/t Karla Lattof Wills for video, thank you! More details on Board meeting at www.WillesLee.com later this week.

Don’t get to shoot often when you ‘re a #DefenderofFreedom busy trying to save Merica. When I do, it is peaceful.  Mostly at the NRA Headquarters Range, alos Hawaii throwing knives and spears. Big guns, little, rifles, handguns, even a little Carry Guard virtual reality. “They” said shooting black on white is racist. Then, white on black was racist. Now shooting smurfs, which is just plain mean.

Back in July, ACU hosted a book signing for Judge Jeanine Pirro at Trump Hotel DC. Lotta crashers, and all the DC “elite” stopped in. (Disclaimer, I am on the ACU Foundation Board of Directors.)

Yes, I have the pro-photog cheesecake photo w fav Judge Jeanine Pirro. This cuter pic, however, is shot by Matt & Mercedes Schlapp‘s eldest as our little bundle of energy tells me she is the biggest, baddest #2A supporter in America. I believe her.
