About Bob Viden

An uncompromising defender of Second Amendment, Bob Viden—owner of Bob’s Little Sport Shop—has spent a lifetime in the trenches, speaking out against anti-firearms ownership attacks and promoting the safe use of firearms both in the US and internationally. He actively testifies for gun rights and serves as a political strategist/columnist for pro-gun candidates.

As an NRA board member, Bob was an integral part of several committees, including the NRA Range Development and Legislative Policy committees. He challenged a semiautomatic ban in Federal Court and NJ, forced the revision of M1A and AR15 bans, and actively promotes development of shooting ranges while defending them against arbitrary closure by anti-gun bureaucrats.

Bob enjoys hunting in North America and Africa with bow, rifle and black powder, muzzleloader, and handgun. It was during one of his first trips to Africa that a life-changing encounter with a young child led him to start Operation Footsteps, a charity organization that gives shoes to children in need.

Bob is endorsed by The Association of NJ RPC. He believes in God, owns guns, and defends both!
