LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Actor Tom Selleck has abruptly stepped down from the National Rifle Association's board of directors.

The star of TV's "Blue Bloods" and "Magnum, P.I." remains a member of the gun rights group, but is leaving the board due to his work schedule, according to his publicist.

Selleck, who first joined the NRA when he was 8 years old, has been a member of the board since 2005.
