The ring of the first bell at SHOT Show Bob Morrison (left), President and CEO of Taurus International, was pleased to announce NRA Secretary Edward J. Land (USMC Ret.), as the 2011 Taurus Defender of Freedom Award recipient. “I am humbled and honored to receive this award, said Major Land. "Actually, I’d like to say I represent all of you. It’s a team. It’s the industry, it’s the NRA, it’s our volunteers, and I can’t thank Taurus and Bob (Morrison) enough for everything that they do. I checked before I came out here and Taurus has given over 8,000 NRA memberships with the purchase of their firearms. Each and every one of us does the best that we can every day in recognizing without the Second Amendment, there are no other amendments.”
For more than a decade Taurus International has awarded the Defender of Freedom Award to an NRA member who has staunchly defended the Second Amendment and freedom to keep and bear arms. Past recipients include Dave Butz, Chris Cox, Sandra Froman, Joe Graham, Wayne LaPierre, Ted Nugent, Mark Keefe and John Zent.
