Fairfax, Va. – The National Rifle Association is pleased to announce the reopening of NRA’s Public Range Fund. Established in 2009, the NRA Public Range Fund is a grant matching program that encourages city and county governments, along with state or federal agencies, to work with NRA to build and improve public ranges across the United States.

“Public ranges allow hundreds of thousands of hunters, competitive shooters, and target shooters to work on their marksmanship under safe and responsible conditions,” said Liz Bush, managing director of NRA Community Engagement. “More than 90 public ranges have been awarded funds to date and we look forward to assisting the next 90.”

In addition to physical improvements, NRA’s Public Range Fund allows qualifying agencies or local governments to improve community relations and address any range-related environmental issues. With grants awarded on a 50/50 matching basis, 50 percent of project cost are provided by the applicant and the remaining 50 percent are provided by the fund. In-kind services such as labor, materials, and equipment may be considered to provide the applicant’s 50 percent contribution. Projects including Pittman-Robertson Funds covers 90 percent of the applicant’s share with the remaining 10 percent coming from the NRA Public Range Fund. Read more

Armed American News Media Platform

Gives Audience Freedom to Choose

ATLANTA, GA -– CCW Broadcast Media LLC proudly announces the launch of a new and unique media platform, Armed American News™ (AAN). AAN separates news from supposition and allows the audience to decide if they want opinion-based journalism in addition to the factual headline stories. The pro-Second Amendment news outlet is free to everyone and boasts a heavy emphasis on issues relevant to patriots and the right to keep and bear arms. News, opinions, and reviews are separated, enhancing the integrity of the stories.

Mark Walters, co-founder of Armed American News, said, “AAN is a rebellious new media outlet built upon the ideals of truth and choice. I have told my radio audience for years not to be ‘headline surfers’ as the mainstream media outlets use their headlines to mislead. That changes today. Americans are hungry for headlines they can trust without the rhetoric or assumptions we’ve become accustomed to. We don’t want to deal with media personalities who continuously attempt to sway our opinions under the guise of honesty. People are tired of reading headlines filled with speculation and conclusions that have no factual basis,” he said. “The mainstream media have shown their hand, and we don’t trust them.”

Armed American News disrupts the typical news cycle by offering a contemporary outlet distinctly different from the familiar mainstream sources. “Our site is staffed by professional pro-gun journalists who keep their opinions where they belong – on the opinion page,” said Walters. “This way, you don’t have to decipher truth from sentiment. It is deliberately separate.” Read more

Henry Raises $30,000 for 8-Year-Old Texas Boy’s Treatment

RICE LAKE, WI – Henry Repeating Arms, America’s leading lever-action firearms manufacturer, raised a total of $30,000 with a ‘Guns For Great Causes’ campaign to benefit 8-year-old Kalel Hamilton of Leesburg, Texas. Kalel was diagnosed at the age of 5 with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a rare and terminal genetic muscle-wasting disease with no known cure. Henry created and donated a total of 50 custom engraved “Flex For Kalel” Edition Golden Boy rifles, which sold out within a matter of hours.

The Hamilton family is working with a 501(c)(3) organization to put together a customized gene therapy treatment for Kalel with the hopes of fighting back against the disease or ultimately finding a cure. To begin production, the family needed to raise $25,000, which prompted a response from Henry Repeating Arms to assist.

“We like to think that Kalel has a lot of toughness to draw from between mountain living, the gritty streets of New York, and 5 Marines in the family. Not to mention that he is named after Superman,” says Rick Hamilton, Kalel’s father. Rick is originally from Ahwahnee, California, located in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and his wife Nancy is originally from Queens, New York. Both are veterans of the United States Marine Corps and recently moved to Texas to make the doctor visits more convenient. Rick continues, “It was crazy watching how fast the rifles sold out, and we can’t thank Henry Repeating Arms and their audience enough for all of the support they have given us as complete strangers.” Read more
