He has been a member of the Kentucky Rifle Association since 1984 and frequently attends their annual show and other events.

The gun display will take place in the Era-Gone-By Room which houses the Joseph DeFrees Antique Gun Collection. DeFrees, a Warren County native, was a mid-twentieth century inventor and philanthropist.
