ORA Honors Edwards, NRA News Staff

The Oklahoma Rifle Association has presented its 2006 Mike McCarville Media Award to National Rifle Association broadcast host Cam Edwards and the staff of NRA News in Washington. Edwards, former morning show host at KTOK in Oklahoma City, was presented the award by McCarville, three-time recipient of the award before it was named in his honor last year. The award recognizes those in the media who defend the 2nd Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms. Edwards was the featured speaker at the ORA's annual convention banquet Saturday night. He is the host of the NRA's "Cam and Company," which airs from 8 to 11 p.m. CDT at NRANews.com and on Sirius Satellite Radio Patriot Channel 144. McCarville, longtime gun rights activist, is a featured commentator on the show. Former Oklahoma City television reporter Ginny Simone, the show's primary field reporter, is featured as well. Also on hand was Governor Brad Henry, who was saluted for signing into law the Oklahoma version of Florida's "Castle Doctrine," which permits citizens to defend themselves no matter where they are rather than being required by law to first try to flee. Henry spoke of his support of the 2nd Amendment during his years in the State Senate and the last 3-1/2 years as governor. - Photo courtesy NRA.
