Today marks the first day of the three-day SASS Convention at the Riviera Hotel and Convention Center in Las Vegas. The Single Action Shooting Society means business – they're throwing a ball, hosting a classic cowboy dance, and presenting an aray of cowboy seminars to celebrate what they call "Wild West Christmas."

NRA President Ron Schmeits is even on hand to kick off the start of the event this morning.

Of course, NRA National Firearms Museum's resident cowboy, Phil Schreier, is also in the middle of the action. Schreier is in Vegas representing the Museum and showcasing Real Guns of Reel Heroes. "I'm setting up the Museum's booth now," Phil told us Wednesday afternoon. "And I'll be sure to send you some photos of Ron's speech."
