“Like many of you, I grew up in the woods and fields with a rifle or shotgun in my hands – guns are and have been a big part of my life since I was a kid. I don’t remember when I joined the NRA – but it was certainly before my 18th birthday. I’ll admit it – I’m a gun nut, whether your talking antique side-by-side shotguns, or modern sporting rifles, cowboy guns— I’m all in!
“The NRA’s work is more critical than ever to preserve our firearms heritage. Even though I’ve served at the national level with the NRA, I believe I can have broader and deeper impact as a board member. I would greatly appreciate your support.” states Vaughan.
