The National Rifle Association classifies Bob Barker as anti-gun, even though the 89-year-old retired game-show host sleeps with a .38-caliber pistol next to his bed, shoots skeet and donated to the group’s choice for president, Republican Mitt Romney.
Barker is among 494 people, organizations and companies on an NRA list of those holding positions it finds hostile. The roster, posted on the website of the largest U.S. pro-gun group, also includes poet Maya Angelou, the United Methodist Church and the National Football League’s Kansas City Chiefs.
