The National Rifle Association has given an 8-year-old boy a free lifetime membership.
His achievement was chewing a Pop-Tart into the shape of a gun.
Welch got on the news after his March 1 suspension from Park Elementary School for the Pop-Tart incident.
He was 7 then and denied trying to make the Pop-Tart look like a weapon.
When pressed by a CBS Baltimore reporter, though, Welch said,
"When I was done, it turned out to be a gun, yeah."
Park Elementary told parents it would give counseling to any children who needed it after the Pop-Tart incident.
A lawyer has filed an appeal to get the two-day suspension off Welch's record.
