GLOCK Inc. made significant donations at the recent 145th NRA Annual Meeting in Louisville, Ken-tucky. Josh Dorsey, Vice President at GLOCK, presented the checks on May 20, 2016. Accepting for the NRA was NRA President, Allan D. Cors and the NRA Exec-utive Director of General Operations, R. Kyle Weaver. The NRA Whittington Center and Whittington Ad-venture Camp were represented by Executive Direc-tor Wayne Armacost. Glen Hoyer, Director of the NRA Law Enforcement Division, accepted the annual donation of 30 GLOCK pistols. In honor of GLOCK’s 30th Anniversary in the Unit-ed States, GLOCK presented the NRA National Fire-arms Museum with one of the 30 custom engraved GLOCK 17 Gen4 pistols, engraved by Master Engrav-er, Mark Hoechst. Accepting the one-of-a-kind pistol was NRA Museums Director, Jim Supica and Senior Curator, Philip Schreier.

“I vividly remember, as a new curator at the NRA, when GLOCK donated a factory cut-away to us,” said Schreier. “It was the newest and most modern gun that we had in the collection for quite awhile. Now, 27 years later, we are delighted and proud to have received this 30th Anniversary pistol. A physical reminder of the special relationship that GLOCK, the NRA and the NRA Museums have had from the beginning.”

$50,000 to the National Rifle Association (NRA)Since 2010, GLOCK has donated $350,000 to the NRA, America’s foremost defender of Second Amendment rights. The NRA advocates for the promotion of firearm ownership, as well as marksmanship, firearm safety and the protection of hunting and self-defense in the United States.

As a law enforcement officer, you can obtain a full benefit NRA membership for only $20 per year, with similar discounts for 2-year, 3-year, 5-year and Life Memberships.

The NRA has many benefits for law enforcement officers, such as:

As a public law enforcement officer your survivor is eligible for a $35,000 Line of Duty Death Benefit if you are killed in the line of duty. This coverage is part of your membership and no action is required when you join the NRA. If a line of duty death occurs, your employment as a public law enforcement officer is verified at the time of death.

You may apply for the Jeanne E. Bray Memorial Scholarship. This program offers college scholarships of up to $2,500 per semester (up to $5,000 per year for a maximum of four years) to dependent children of any public law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty who was an NRA member at the time of death, and to dependent children of any current or retired law enforcement officers who are living and have current NRA membership.

You can purchase, through the NRA Endorsed Insurance Program, Retired and Off-Duty Self Defense Liability Insurance. This affordable insurance covers your criminal and civil defense costs, which generally average less than $10,000 for retired and off-duty law enforcement officers. It also covers reimbursement for criminal defense costs when you are acquitted of charges and bodily injury and damage caused by the use of a firearm.

$2,500 of ArmsCare coverage with your NRA membership. This plan covers insured firearms, air guns, bows and arrows against theft, accidental loss, and damage. Insurance must be activated.

Annual members receive $5,000 of Accidental Death and Dismemberment coverage at NO COST to you.

Ev-erything posted on Police Supporter is positive concerning the men and women of law enforcement. “We try to show the positive side of law enforcement which happens all across the nation each day. The domi-nant left-leaning media does selec-tive editing so they can show law en-forcement in the most negative light,” states Ed Nowicki.
