Chuck Matson of North Platte has been named the 2102 NFOA Firearms Rights Champion.

Chuck spearheaded the effort to repeal a ban on firearms in the North Platte city parks, and took it upon himself to organize a very effective grass roots group in the area that worked together with the North Platte city council to restore the rights of the citizens in that city.

The Directors of the NFOA tip our hats to Chuck, and look forward to a future filled with the leadership and courage that Chuck Matson exemplifies.

His efforts are exactly the kind of citizen action we all strive to attain.

Congratulations Chuck, on a job well done!

Thank you NFOA! Wish all of us could be doing something else! But, those of us who care about our rights, we have to be on our guard! The bad news, its not going to be easy! The good news...We can regain our rights! Chuck

Chuck, you and the folks in North Platte did a bang up job!

Tks Chuck.  I carried in a NP park just last year.  I was a bit shocked to hear about the ordinance on the news when it was being challenged.
