Palin To Keynote Hunting Club Convention In Nevada

Former GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin is not shying away from pro-gun imagery, even in the midst of criticism of past violent political rhetoric after the shooting in Tucson. In fact, she’ll be headed to Nevada — a key early caucus state — later this month, to keynote the convention of a major hunting organization, Safari Club International.

The convention’s website says that Palin “will give a keynote address Saturday evening [January 29] touching upon her past hunting experiences and how politics affect the current state of hunting and fishing.”

Politico reports: “Organizers made the announcement that Palin would be appearing at the gun-related gathering less than a week after the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords that badly injured her and left six dead.”
