Davidson’s Inc.—one of the nation’s largest firearm distributors—has generously donated 150 Ruger 10/22 rifles in a 12 Long Rifle to the NRA Foundation to be used in Friends of NRA events. Each of the rifles has been engraved by Paulo Cuson Coating with the NRA Foundation’s “teach freedom” logo and the NRA seal.
“Not only am Davidson’s and GalleryofGuns.com pleased to make this donation to the NRA Foundation, but we are also equally excited about the rejuvenation of the NRA as a whole,” said Davidson’s CEO, Bryan Tucker. “With this new leadership, its focus on transparency and a new commitment to the promotion of shooting competitions along with shooting sports participation, we are increasing our contributions to this historic and highly impactful organization. Specifically, we are working with leadership to explore ways we can help to significantly increase the numbers of new and returning members. I urge others to consider stepping up their efforts and contributions toward making the NRA’s future highly successful.”
In 1998, Davidson’s consumer website, galleryofguns.com, was launched, giving consumers a convenient way to buy firearms at great prices from the convenience of their homes. With a vast inventory of firearms and with more than 50 years of firearm industry experience, Davidson’s has an excellent reputation for helping both sellers and buyers. Davidson’s gracious contribution of these rifles will be utilized at our top Friends of NRA events nationwide. Their strong industry support for our program not only recognizes the hard work of our leading volunteers but also will help raise significant funds toward our mission.
“We are so grateful for these beautiful custom rifles that our banquet attendees will surely treasure for generations,” said James “JP” Carter, Executive Director, NRA Office of Advancement. “We are excited to feature them at our best-attended events, and happy and grateful for Davidson’s partnership in advancing and preserving the shooting sports and protecting our Second Amendment freedoms.”
The NRA Foundation is America’s leading charitable organization and a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization that raises tax-deductible contributions in support of a wide range of firearm-related activities. Proceeds ensure the availability of quality firearm training, educational opportunities, places to shoot and more across the nation. The heart of the NRA Foundation’s mission is preserving the core of our American values and traditions in our steadfast effort to teach freedom.
