The Central Ohio Friends of the NRA banquet was held March 4, 2006 at Villa Milano. As always, the event was well attended, with approximately 250 supporters present. Ken Hanson and his wife Sharon were present to represent Buckeye Firearms.

The event featured fundraisers including a silent auction, a live auction, and multiple raffle items. Supporters were very generous and aware of the spirit of the event, with many items selling for hundreds of dollars above their retail value.

Also in attendance were several politicians running for office. Franklin County Recorder Rob Montgomery was present and lead the pledge of allegiance. BFA endorsee Rep. Tim Schaffer (www.schaffer2006.com), who is running for Senate in the 31st District, was present and had an opportunity to discuss firearms issues with Ken. Rep.
