NRA-PVF Endorses Haley Barbour’s Re-Election For Governor of Mississippi

Fairfax, VA. – The National Rifle Association’s Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre and NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) Chairman Chris W. Cox are traveling across the State of Mississippi on October 1 for a tour announcing the endorsement of Governor Haley Barbour’s re-election for Governor of Mississippi.

In his first term, Governor Barbour signed “Emergency Powers” legislation that protects law-abiding gun owners from firearms confiscation during a state of emergency and the “Castle Doctrine” that allows lawful citizens to defend their homes, families and businesses from criminals without fear of prosecution. Also, under the Governor’s watch, legislation passed to lengthen mandatory prison sentences for gun crimes.

Governor Barbour’s strong, pro-gun voting record has earned him an “A+” rating and endorsement by NRA-PVF.
