NSSF Presents ILA With Award

The 2002 Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show and Conference (S.H.O.T. Show) - the world's premier exposition of firearms, ammunition, archery, cutlery, outdoor apparel, optics, camping, and related products and services-was held February 2-5 in Las Vegas, Nev., and this year's event was the second best attended show ever. NRA representatives attend the show every year, and this year NRA-ILA was honored to be presented the new "Noblest Sport Award" by the Hunting and Shooting Sports Heritage Foundation (HSSHF), which stated:
"In recognition and grateful appreciation of an exemplary defense of our firearms freedoms through the passage, in a majority of states, of historic legislation barring reckless litigation against the firearms industry."
Bob Delfay, the President and CEO of the HSSHF, gave the award to NRA-ILA Executive Director James Jay Baker, who thanked NRA-ILA Deputy Executive Director Patrick O'Malley, NRA-ILA State & Local Affairs Director Randy Kozuch, the entire NRA-ILA staff, and NRA's 4.3 million members for their efforts in passing reckless lawsuit preemption legislation in 27 states.
