A group of celebrities and nearly 70,000 members are opening one of the nation’s biggest conventions this morning, as the National Rifle Association begins its three-day stay in Charlotte.

Billed as the largest convention in Charlotte history, the NRA’s 139th annual Meetings and Exhibits officially began at 9 a.m. at the Charlotte Convention Center, but the ceremonial start to the event was a half-hour earlier.
