James Porter, currently the organization's first vice president, will take over the top job on Monday. He spoke Friday at the NRA's national convention in Houston.
In a short speech to a grass-roots organizing meeting, Porter said NRA members are the nation's "fighters for freedom."
The NRA's convention comes just two weeks after its major victory over President Barack Obama in defeating a U.S. Senate vote over a major gun control bill.
Friday's lineup has a political rally in the afternoon with conservative leaders from Texas and around the country, including former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum.
