J Jackson; One Ranger...

I read Jackson's autobiography; One Ranger. It's a interesting read. He had a colorful career as a Texas Ranger & a DPS trooper. Jackson was a LE consultant & advisor to actor Nick Nolte for the action drama; Extreme Predjuce, www.imdb.com . They had a good relationship at first, then Jackson sued Nolte over a dispute, .
Jackson also lost his Texas Ranger retirement LE status, , the politics & reasons are described in One Ranger. I'm not sure if he can carry firearms as a private Texas citizen or with the new LEOSA status. He has NO sworn LE powers in Texas as far as I understand.
His son is in jail for murder(explained in One Ranger). Jackson's other son is a sworn LE officer(US Border Patrol/CBP).
Jackson also wrote about how his teen son's friend picked up his(J Jackson's) loaded model 29 .44magnum & played "Russian Roulette", killing himself.

I have no personal problem with Jackson, he's a grown man & retired Texas Ranger but, honestly, I'm not sure if he is qualified to sit on the NRA board.

I probably would not vote for Jackson if I were a voting NRA member.
