COACHELLA - Senator John J. Benoit (R-Bermuda Dunes) will be the keynote speaker at the Friends of the National Rifle Association Annual Dinner Banquet to be held Saturday at 7 PM in the Medjool Room at Spotlight 29 Casino, 46-200 Harrison Place in Coachella. Senator Benoit will deliver remarks about his career in public safety and current legislation affecting the rights of gun-owners.

"The constitutional right to keep and bear arms provides law-abiding citizens with one of the most important tools to protect their homes and families from violent criminals," said Senator Benoit. "As Vice Chairman of the Senate Public Safety Committee, I will add my voice and 31 years of law enforcement experience to fight against any and all efforts to chip away at this essential right of a free society. I look forward to sharing developments in Sacramento on this issue at Saturday's dinner."
