A spokesman for the group explains why the author of Decoding Firearms is an ideal fit for the team.
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms just got even stronger with the addition of a key component.
John Petrolino, the author of Decoding Firearms: An Easy To Read Guide on General Gun Safety & Use,” has been elected to fill a position on the Board of Directors for the CCRKBA. He previously contributed articles for websites such as Ammoland News and The Truth About Guns.
The veteran gun rights advocate, also known as “The Pen Patriot,” makes for a perfect fit for the group.
“We’re delighted to have John joining us as a member of the CCRKBA Board of Directors,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “His background as a journalist and experience as a gun rights activist in New Jersey, quite literally working ‘behind enemy lines’ as it were, will be valuable assets to the board as we head into the future. We welcome John and look forward to having him help guide the committee in the months and years ahead.”
“It’s a complete honor to have been elected to serve as a member of the board of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms,” Petrolino said. “Being part of the Committee is being part of a national institution, the oldest lobbying organization for safeguarding the Second Amendment as a civil right. I look forward to faithfully executing my duties and will do my best to offer good and honest stewardship to the Committee.”
A spokesman for the group joins us now to discuss the appointing of Petrolino.
