Sturm, Ruger and Company Inc. of Fairfield recently presented Chris W. Cox, executive director of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, with a check for $125,000.
“Supporting the NRA-ILA in this year of election activity is important to all gun owners,” said Michael Fifer, CEO of Ruger.
According to Fifer, the check represented a donation from the sale of a special edition Ruger Mini-14, introduced at the 2008 SHOT Show to raise money.
“Ruger is pleased to provide a vehicle for NRA members and firearms owners to support the important activities of the NRA-ILA as they protect our Second Amendment rights,” said Fifer. “Since a portion of the sale of each NRA Mini-14 goes to the NRA-ILA, purchasers can share in a win-win situation by receiving a special edition rugged, reliable Ruger Mini-14 and contribute to the future of firearms ownership at the same time.”
The presentation was made by Fifer during the 137th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits in Louisville, Ky.
