Oliver North wants to double NRA's membership, warns Republicans about 'far left'

POCATELLO — Well-known conservative Oliver North, the incoming president of the National Rifle Association, will be speaking in Pocatello on Friday evening as part of his goal to double the NRA's membership. 

North is the keynote speaker for the Idaho GOP convention, which is being held in Pocatello for the first time in nearly 30 years.

The retired Marine lieutenant colonel said he never passes up an opportunity to "talk to Great Americans" and that's another reason why he's in Pocatello.  ×North said he's encouraging "good people to turn out (for the convention) and support good people like your governor and good people who are gonna support our Second Amendment."
