of my commitment to the Second Amendment, I greatly enjoyed the tour of
the Ruger factory,” commented Representative Walker. “This facility and
its employees have a tremendous impact on Rockingham County and
surrounding communities,” he concluded.

“We were delighted to have Representative Walker in for a visit,” said

employees are extremely proud of all we have accomplished in our short
time here in Mayodan and it is always a pleasure to have an opportunity
for them to show off a little. We thank Representative Walker for taking
the time to meet with us and for his continued support of our critical
Second Amendment rights,” he concluded.
