NEWTOWN, Conn.—The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms industry, is pleased to announce that Birmingham, Alabama-based law firm of Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP (Bradley Arant) has signed on as a Bronze Sponsor for the upcoming Import/Export Conference.
