The National Rifle Association’s embattled leader Wayne LaPierre may face a leadership challenge from Allen West, a former congressman and ex-chairman of the Texas Republican Party.
West said Thursday he may run to unseat LaPierre, the executive vice president, when the gun rights group convenes this month in Houston for its first annual meeting since the Covid-19 pandemic began. West said he is weighing a call by current and former NRA board members for him to run.
