U.S Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) and U.S Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) visited Kalispell Thursday joining firearm manufacturer Falkor Defense owners for a round table discussion.

Sen. Daines stressed the importance of keeping manufacturing jobs in Montana.

“These great made in Montana manufacturing jobs that are making some of the very best firearms in the world are produced right here, and they’re used all over the world by the U.S. fighting force,” said Sen. Daines.

This was Sen. Cotton’s first-ever visit to Montana.
