Additionally, NRANEWS Cam & Co. will televise its show live from Indianapolis. Host, Cam Edwards, will sit down with guests – Marty Daniel of Daniel Defense, Matt Hughes will discuss his new show UNCAGED, Tim Schmidt with USCCA and more – as Cam explores the stories, people and places behind the headlines that affect the lifestyle of people who love to hunt, shoot and fish.
