Another NRA Bigwig in the News

[MrBenchley]

"The always vivacious Conservative Political Action Conference wrapped up Saturday at Crystal City's Gateway Marriott with a visit from the cops and reports of an altercation involving David A. Keene, who chairs the American Conservative Union, the convention's main sponsor. That would be the same David A. Keene whom President Bush has thanked publicly, along with the ACU, for "advancing our compassionate conservative agenda."
Turns out a hotel security guard made an assault-and-battery report saying Keene pushed him after he tried to block Keene from entering a restricted area. Police investigated but the local magistrate declined to issue an arrest warrant. Police would not release the name of the alleged "victim," and the hotel management wouldn't return phone calls. Keene told us he and the guard "bumped chests." "

The guard got off lucky....imagine if Keene had been packing heat, like his son was last year...

"News4 has learned the son of a gun activist was arrested Wednesday night and charged with an apparent road rage shooting on the George Washington Parkway.
Police believe David Michael Keene, 21, shot a gun from a BMW on Sunday afternoon. The bullet shattered the window of a Mercedes Benz and became lodged in the driver's seat, just inches from the driver's head.
News4 has learned Keene is the son of David A. Keene, who is on the board of directors for the National Rifle Association. Keene is also a conservative political consultant and lobbyist who has worked in the White House and in Congress. "
