				<br><time class="entry-date" datetime="2017-08-30T05:00:23+00:00" pubdate>August 30, 2017 5:00 am</time></p><p>The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) announced on Monday it will make disaster relief funds available to members whose gun-related businesses were affected by the unprecedented flooding in the path of Hurricane Harvey.</p>
<p>"We want our member companies to know that their trade association stands with them in these difficult times, and that this assistance is another benefit of membership," Chris Dolnack, NSSF senior vice president, said in a statement. "This is in keeping with the monetary relief we provided our members in the Northeast after Hurricane Sandy wreaked her havoc in 2012, and to those in the Southeast following Hurricane Matthew in 2016."</p>
<p>The NSSF's board of governors approved making dedicated aid available for members who have experienced damage as the result of the high winds or flooding associated with Hurricane Harvey. The funds will be made available for affected gun-related businesses with the goal of paying for critical and immediate expenses so they can get back to work as soon as possible.</p>
<p>NSSF spokesman Michael Bazinet told the <i>Washington Free Beacon</i> the group<i> </i>doesn't know how many of its members might have been affected by the storm thus far but the number is likely high.</p>
<p>"We’re dealing with a very wide area in a very gun-friendly state," Bazinet said. "At this moment, we have no idea how many of our members may be affected."</p>
<p>Gun-related businesses that have been affected by the storm can call NSSF member services at 203-426-1320 ext. 209 or <a href="http://www.nssf.org/relief" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">visit NSSF's website</a> for an application for relief. The gun-rights group is also encouraging any gun dealers whose stores have been flooded to contact the local Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives office for assistance in dealing with their firearms inventory and sensitive documents. They also encouraged gun dealers to report any storm-related destruction or loss of firearms to the federal agency.</p>
