(GunReports.com) — Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JFPO) has named Tucson’s Charles Heller, as its new executive director.
Heller is one of the co-founders of the Arizona Citizens Defense League and the host of “Swap Shop,” “Liberty Watch,” and “American Armed & Free” radio programs in Tucson.
Rabbinic Director Rabbi Dovid Bendory announced the appointment in an email on June 23:
“With the passing of Aaron Zelman, not only did American freedom lose a great warrior, but JPFO lost its founder and executive director. At the proper time, the search began for a new executive director. That person needed to be deeply educated in the gun rights battle, media savvy, politically savvy, and have solid firearms industry contacts. There was also no doubt whatsoever that our new organizational leader needed to be one hundred percent “hard-core, no-compromise” regarding the Second Amendment and the morality of self defense — just like JPFO.
“We have found that person in Charles Heller of Tucson, Arizona. Over the past month or so, as JPFO’s Rabbinic Director, I have worked with Charles on all of our JPFO projects. Charles and I are of one mind with regard to JPFO’s course and strategies. Charles is a patriot, a true believer in American freedom, and a visionary of America’s great potential. I am proud to be working shoulder to shoulder with him at Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. We stand together in the fight for your freedom!”
