Here's what Chris Cox, chairman of the outfit, says in a prepared statement:
While serving in the House and as a senior-ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, Congressman Coble has consistently supported the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen, and has demonstrated a strong commitment to the Second Amendment and our country’s rich hunting heritage. Because of his unwavering pro-gun support and his leadership role in advancing Second Amendment issues in Congress, Howard Coble earned an ‘A’ rating and endorsement from NRA-PVF.
And here's how the Coble campaign describes the congressman's track record on defending the rights of gun owners:
Rep. Coble voted for legislation enacted to prohibit gun confiscation during states of emergency and prevent bogus lawsuits aimed and bankrupting the firearms industry. He is also a cosponsor of the national Right-to-Carry reciprocity bill which would allow any person with a valid concealed firearm carrying license or permit, issued by a state, to carry a concealed firearm in any state. Rep. Coble helped restore self-defense rights in Washington, D.C. by voting for the D.C. Personal Protection Act, as well as signing the pro-gun congressional amicus brief to the Supreme Court in the historic Heller case. Most recently, he signed the pro-gun congressional amicus brief supporting the Second Amendment’s application to state and local governments in the McDonald v. City of Chicago case now before the Supreme Court. Finally, Rep. Coble cosponsored legislation to force reform at the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
