I'm an NRA-certified Expert Rifleman.

I'm a lifetime member of the NRA.

Well, you know, first of all, let me just say that I am a proud member of the NRA and have been, and I'm a lifetime member and will always be.

I am in support of the NRA position on gun control.

I have an A rating from the NRA.

I'm a gun owner and strong supporter of the Second Amendment.

I mean there are many people who have endorsed me that I agree with on some things and not others.

I'm very proud that 40 sheriffs have endorsed me.

Some might consider me an unlikely advocate for gun rights because I sustained terrible injuries in a violent shooting. But I'm a patriot, and I believe the right to bear arms is a definitive part of our American heritage.
