Presumed Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain plans a visit to the Charleston area Friday, but it is apparently a private event and McCain officials said Wednesday they could not release the senator's itinerary.
Campaign spokeswoman Crystal Benton did confirm McCain's visit would be Friday morning. He will leave Charleston in the early afternoon to go to Kentucky, where he is scheduled to speak to the National Rifle Association.
Benton said the campaign would probably release McCain's itinerary this morning. "Right now there are a few details we're still working out," she said.
However, an employee of St. Albans Gun and Archery at 450 Walnut St., St. Albans, said the senator is expected to visit that store at 10:45 a.m. Friday. State Democratic Party sources also said they have been told the Arizona senator will be at the store.
