The 2018 NRA Annual Meeting, held May 4 through 6, featured a full 15 acres of firearms, shooting and hunting equipment — and a minyan.
“I’m on my way back from Dallas where I took part in the NRA annual meetings — there was a nice crowd of fellow Jews,” Jonathan Burstyn of Chi-Defense, which offers the complete Illinois concealed carry course for the general public, told the Forward.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
