Eau Claire (WQOW) - A national gun rights group has opened a local lobbying office.

The National Rifle Association opened doors today on a new office at 919 South Hastings Way. The NRA says the group opened the Hastings Way office because there's a high concentration of NRA members in the area.

The group also says this fall's presidential race could be close in western Wisconsin, so they are trying to get the word out about pro-gun rights candidates. The group has recruited around 400 local volunteers to help campaign and hand out literature on gun rights. The office is one of two in Wisconsin, and it will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the week.
