The only candidate who wasn’t endorsed by the National Firearms Association, after gun seizures in High River during last June’s flooding, has won the Federal Conservative nomination in the Macleod riding.

In Alberta’s last election, Barlow ran as a provincial Tory and came within 2000 votes of beating Wildrose leader Danielle Smith.
