Where on Earth is Chima? That was the first question Robert Tucker asked himself when his new NRA hat arrived in the mail. Having joined the organization two weeks previous, he was pleased with the prompt arrival of his complimentary gift, but he was concerned that it might have been made in Communist China, as many hats are. When the hat's tag indicated it was made in Chima, instead, he was relieved but understandably puzzled. The second question he asked himself was, So what do I do with it now? The school shooting in Parkland, Florida was still a fresh memory in the national consciousness, and impassioned debate raged about gun-control in general and the National Rifle Association in particular. Given the climate, wearing the hat might have been a risky proposition.But, as a trial attorney and author of five novels, Robert Tucker knew a good story when it landed on his head. An experiment took shape, one in which he would wear the hat for a number of months and chronicle the reactions it provoked. In this manner, Wearing the NRA was born.For five months he wore the hat in the most unobtrusive way possible. Rather than being rude and confrontational, he was generous and kind, wanting any negative reaction to be toward the hat and nothing more. What he discovered was unexpected, refreshing, and instructive.Wearing the NRA is an engaging mix of humor, opinion, and memoir that puts a fresh face on the issues of gun-control, school safety, and personal liberty. It's a must read for any gun owner, but it's sure to entertain and inform any American who wants to understand one of the most disputed topics of our day.
