PELLA, IA. — Gov. Chris Christie on Friday blamed New Jersey for his 'C' gun rights rating from the National Rifle Association.
"I haven't gotten many 'Cs' in my life, so I'm not happy about it," said Christie, responding to a woman during a town hall at Central College as he campaigned for president.
"But: For this one? It's a 'C' for my state. I don't think a 'C' for me."
