Kyle Rittenhouse attending gun right nonprofit group’s first annual clay shoot

Kyle Rittenhouse has unveiled the first annual clay shoot a gun rights nonprofit group is hosting, inviting users on social media to attend.

The event is being hosted by the Texas Gun Rights organization, a state affiliate of the National Association for Gun Rights. Rittenhouse, who serves as an outreach director for Texas Gun Rights, is advertised as one of the event’s VIP shooters, with the event scheduled to be held on Sept. 12 in Fort Worth, Texas.

“Come out here and shoot clays with me and a bunch of other VIP shooters,” Rittenhouse said in a video posted to X. “You’re not gonna want to miss this one!”

Other VIP shooters attending the event include Dudley Brown, the president of the National Association for Gun Rights, and commentator and comedian Chad Prather. Tickets for shooters at the event start at $175, while spectator passes are currently going for $50.

Rittenhouse is known for shooting three people in 2020 during a Black Lives Matter riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, killing two of them and injuring the third. He was found not guilty of two counts of homicide, one count of attempted homicide, and two counts of reckless endangerment on Nov. 19, 2021.

Since the ruling, Rittenhouse has released his own book, Acquitted, which he argued is his side of the story regarding the 2020 shooting. Rittenhouse has stressed the book is not intended to make money.

Rittenhouse has also rejected how some conservatives have labeled him a hero for his actions during the Kenosha riot, arguing he only did “what he had to do.” He has also stated that defending oneself does not make one a hero or a villain but rather one doing “the right thing to stay alive.”
