About Cam Edwards
Cam Edwards is one of the most familiar voices in Second Amendment media. Raised in Oklahoma, he began his career as a videographer at KTOK in Oklahoma City, moved into investigative journalism and became the station’s assistant news director and morning drive-time host. In 2004 he moved east to join NRA News, where he hosted the daily “Cam & Company” program and spent 15 years working for the National Rifle Association, interviewing lawmakers, legal scholars, industry figures and grassroots activists.
In July 2019 Edwards became editor of Bearing Arms.com, where he writes daily on gun policy, legislation and court cases and continues the Cam & Co show for the outlet. The Second Amendment Foundation named him its Journalist of the Year for 2023, the second time he has received that award. He is co-author of the 2015 book Heavy Lifting: Grow Up, Get a Job, Start a Family, and Other Manly Advice, and he serves on the board of directors of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. His coverage, including the NRA’s 2024 civil trial in New York, is widely followed by gun owners.
