A National Rifle Association representative is scheduled to speak this month at an event in Emmaus.

The Concerned East Penn Taxpayers Association on Feb. 17 is hosting Lexy Ruscak, a grassroots coordinator for the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, according to a news release. The institute is the association's lobbying arm.

Ruscak is slated to discuss the state of gun rights in Pennsylvania during a 7:30 p.m. talk at Emmaus Fire Co. No. 1, 50 S. Sixth St. A question-and-answer session is planned during the event, which runs until 9:30 p.m.

Ruscak's expected to focus on how new laws will affect Keystone State residents, specifically how they may limit local gun control laws, a proposed ban of human silhouette targets and whether publishing information about concealed carry permit holders is legal, the release says.

CEPTA hosted NRA lobbyist Suzanne Anglewicz in 2013, drawing about 75 people for a March event.
