Rifle Association Honors Ron Black, Jerry Ellis
The Oklahoma Rifle Association honored radio talk show host, newspaper columnist and blogger Ron Black during its annual convention awards banquet Saturday night. The ORA also named Valliant Rep. Jerry Ellis as its "Legislator of the Year."
Black was named recipient of the ORA's 2007 Mike McCarville Media Award for his support of the 2nd Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms. McCarville received the award in 1999, 2004 and 2005; it was named in his honor in 2006.
Black is the host of "Wild Oklahoma," outdoor show heard on stations in Oklahoma City, Cushing and Guymon. A television version begins this fall. He's the co-host of "Energy Matters" on KTOK in Oklahoma City and a regular political commentator on Fox 25 News. Black also is a columnist for the Oklahoma Gazette and operates a popular news blog. Before the station flipped its format, Black was the afternoon talk show host on WKY, Oklahoma City radio station.
Previous award recipients include Cam Edwards of NRA News in Washington and The Oklahoman's former editorial writer, Pat McGuigan.
Ellis, a Democrat, was honored for his work on 2nd Amendment issues in the 2007 legislative session.
The ORA also honored three members of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol's aviation division and Kingfisher's fire chief, Randy Poindexter, for their helicopter rescue efforts in last Sunday's flood.
