ST. PAUL, MN –– The Hunt is On at Gander Mountain with the nation’s largest and fastest-growing outdoor specialty retailer preparing customers for hunting season with its NRA Weekend Event being held at all Gander Mountain locations on Saturday, Sept. 10-11. During this weekend, customers can purchase a discounted NRA membership for $30 (regularly priced at $40) and receive a $25 Gander Mountain gift card along with their discounted membership.

Throughout the two days, NRA representatives will be in all Gander Mountain stores selling discounted NRA memberships. Included in their membership, customers will receive one free NRA monthly magazine, $2,500 worth of firearms insurance and a membership card to cash in on exclusive discounts and offers.

NRA representatives will also be conducting ‘Intro to Firearms Safety’ seminars covering safe firearms handling, proper firearms storage and cleaning. Each day, the first 50 in-store customers will receive a free cable lock from the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s Project ChildSafe program.

“Our customers look forward to hunting season all year long, and we’re here to help them get the gear they need to get back outside,” said Gander Mountain President Derek Siddons. “Gander Mountain is committed to providing responsible citizens with access to firearms and educational programs that promote proper use, care, safety and security through our partnership with NRA and our on-going ‘With Rights Comes Responsibility’ campaign.”

“Gander Mountain is providing a convenient experience and great discount for the firearm community to purchase or renew their NRA membership,” said National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. “We hope the community heads to Gander Mountain to enjoy a superior outdoor retail experience and to learn more about the NRA and our Second Amendment freedoms.”
