Met Kenny years ago--in fact if I recall correctly, Melvin Forbes introduced us at the SHOT Show. (We talked quite a bit after that, both in person and over the phone, and he once sent me a rifle to test, which of course shot tiny groups.) Hope he can bear up under all this. “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

I think I still have the magazine with that article you wrote, it was excellent. Sorry to read about Kenny's son passing.....RIP Jay. Condolences to the family

Visited Kenny’s booth and had a great conversation with him a few months ago at the SCI Convention in Nashville.

What a great guy . I hope he is able to deal with this terrible situation . Its all right to be white!!

I can not even begin to imagine the pain and loss Kenny and his family are having to endure now. Such immense tragedies. I too will pray for Kenny and his family.
