\"\"<\/a>Fairfax, Va.-MidwayUSA, the catalog and internet retailer with “Just About EverythingSM for Shooting, Reloading, Gunsmithing and Hunting,” has shown its support for the Second Amendment and the National Rifle Association by becoming the Official Sponsor of the 139th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits, to be held May 14-16, 2010, at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

“When people ask me why MidwayUSA is sponsoring the NRA Convention, I tell them it’s because we can, and because we should,” said Larry Potterfield, founder and CEO of MidwayUSA. “We can support the NRA because over the years our customers have been very good to us, and we should support the NRA because it’s the right thing to do. The NRA protects our rights as Americans and our future as sportsmen. [My wife] Brenda and I, and the rest of MidwayUSA, are excited to do our part to support the 139th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Charlotte.”<\/p>\n

The 2010 NRA Annual Meetings cover 300,000 square feet of exhibit space and features more than 450 of the most spectacular product displays from every major firearm company in the country, plus knives, wildlife art, shooting accessories, hunting gear and much more. Plus, attendees can book the hunt of a lifetime in NRA’s exclusive hunting outfitter section or see priceless collections of firearms in the gun collector area.<\/p>\n

Attendees can also attend other spectacular events featuring nationally-known speakers such as former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Lt. Col. Oliver North, actor Chuck Norris, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and radio and television host Sean Hannity, as well as a concert by Charlie Daniels, and much more!<\/p>\n
