NRA laser shoot out for Carney donors
There’s still time to “be one of the first to experience the new laser technology at the NRA,” by signing up for Rep. Chris Carney’s “New Laser Shoot Out” fundraiser today at the gun rights’ group Capitol Hill offices at 5:30 p.m.
Blue Dog Democrat Carney hails from Pennsylvania’s 10th district, in Northeastern Pennsylvania, where voters have the reputation of being fond of their guns. (Remember the much ballyhooed flack then-presidential candidate Barack Obama got when he said that small town Pennsylvanians “cling to guns.”)
While the NRA has given Carney $2,000 in direct PAC contributions, $1,000 apiece for the 2008 and 2010 cycles, the group backed his GOP opponent during his first race in 2006.
Carney has tried hard to burnish to woo pro-gun rights voters, pointing out he’s a gun owner himself and that he supports the rights of hunters.
