I'm a Bitter Gun Owner and I Vote: Politicker photo
LOUISVILLE -- Thousands of members and supporters of the National Rifle Association are gathered in Louisville this weekend for the organization's annual meeting.
The political highlight of the event is this afternoon's Leadership Forum, which is just underway. The list of speakers scheduled is a full slate of prominent state and national figures, topped by the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee and Senator John McCain (R-Arizona).
NRA President John Sigler kicked the forum off and introduced NRA CEO and Vice President, Wayne Lapierre.
Kentucky's Lieutenant Governor Daniel Mongiardo (D-Hazard) is also on the schedule early in the day. He replaces Governor Steve Beshear at the event, who was earlier set to appear.
Another Kentucky guest is scheduled just before McCain this afternoon. Incumbent Republican Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Louisville) will speak to the assembled guests.
