LAS VEGAS (AP) — An Associated Press analysis shows the National Rifle Association gave nearly $120,000 to Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps at seven Nevada high schools in recent years.<br><br>
The AP analysis of the NRA Foundation's public tax records finds that those grants were part of a total of $798,500 in cash and materials given to Nevada organizations from 2010 through 2016, mostly through competitive grants meant to promote shooting sports.<br><br>
Four of the high schools are in the Washoe County School District, including Hug High School in Reno which received the largest grant of $43,500 in 2015.<br><br>
The NRA gave $205,000 to eight different 4-H clubs around the state.<br><br>
The state received an average of $114,700 a year in that span, with a high of $203,000 in 2014. Nevada's total NRA funding was about middle of the pack compared other states.
