The annual meeting of the National Rifle Association wrapped up after a weekend in Atlanta, and a visit from President Trump. And with a new NRA�president. The board of directors picks Pete Brownwell to head the NRA. He’s from Montezuma, Iowa and is part of the long-lived family firearms retailer Brownell’s. Wayne Lapierre will continue as executive vice-president and legendary NASCAR owner Richard Childress is now first vice-president.
Texas state lawmakers are looking to cut down the price of a carry permit. The very gun-friendly lone state has often been criticized for it’s expensive permit fees, at a $140, one of the nation’s highest. A new bill would bring the price down to $40�for both new licenses and renewals and would be free for peace officers. That would make it be one of the lowest cost permits in the�USA.
And those are your Bullet Points! I’m Eben Brown,�FOX News.
