The NRA congratulates MidwayUSA on 50 years of service! 🇺🇸

The Potterfields' efforts have also helped raise more than $22 million for NRA-ILA's work to defend and advance Second Amendment rights.

🇺🇸 THROWBACK THURSDAY 🇺🇸

After nearly 27 years, one of the longest-running legal battles impacting the firearm industry has finally come to an end.

In May 2026, the Indiana Supreme Court declined to hear the case commonly known as "Gary v. G***k," effectively ending a lawsuit that began in 1999.

Why does this matter?

✅ Helped reinforce protections for lawful firearm manufacturers under federal law.

✅ Protected the privacy of approximately 400,000 firearm transaction records from disclosure.

✅ Demonstrated what can happen when industry groups, advocates, legislators, and everyday Second Amendment supporters stay committed for the long haul.

This victory wasn't measured in months—it was measured in decades.

The fight for the Second Amendment is often a marathon, not a sprint. This case serves as a reminder that persistence, advocacy, and engagement can make a lasting impact.

Did you know this lawsuit lasted nearly 27 years?

All 27 years are documented in the issues of ISSN!

Climb aboard the Wayback Machine with ISRPA for Throwback Thursday!

For 60 years, the Indiana State Rifle & Pistol Association has been on the forefront of Indiana Shooting Sports, hosting matches, competing, supporting Champions!

For 37 years that legacy of marksmanship, competition, education, and Second Amendment advocacy across Indiana was documented in the pages of the Indiana Shooting Sports News quarterly magazine.

All that history is now being brought back to life. From archived match results to decades of stories, photos, and accomplishments— all those decades of ISRPA history that showcase the people and moments that helped shape the association into what it is today have been digitized and are being made available on the ISRPA website!

The ISRPA “60 Years Strong” campaign will celebrate those memories, milestones, and the members who made them possible. The ISRPA Hall of Fame will be featured at the Family Day on the Range event October 3, 2026 at the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association faclities in Friendship Indiana!

We need YOUR help!
🏆 Are you part of ISRPA Hall of Fame history? Your Dad, Grandpa, maybe your Grandma?
Whether you competed, volunteered, coached, served, or supported along the way — tell us YOUR story! You may find yourself - maybe your whole family - in the ISRPA Hall of Fame!
