So it was with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/gun-rights-in-st-louis\/kurt-hofmann\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kurt Hofmann, the St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner<\/a>, and me.<\/p>\n<p>While Kurt wasn&#8217;t able to actually get to the America&#8217;s Center, we were able to meet at his &#8220;local&#8221; yesterday. Talk about having tons of great beers on tap! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalbrewtaps.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Brew<\/a> has more micro-brews on tap than I&#8217;ve ever seen. I had the Hacker-Pschorr Maibach and it was really good.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/photo2-1024x765.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/photo2-1024x765.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\nAs I said, it was great meeting an old friend again. Kurt does great work as the St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner and we discussed a lot of stuff.<\/p>\n<p>All good things must come to an end and so it is with our trip to St. Louis. We&#8217;re hitting the road in a few minutes to return to North Carolina. We had a great time and will have many posts about the NRA Annual Meeting and what we learned in the days to come.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the great things about the NRA Annual Meeting is the chance to catch up with friends who&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[542,3838],"class_list":["post-3360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-kurt-hofmann","tag-nra-annual-meeting-2012"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3360"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3360\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7913,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3360\/revisions\/7913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
