In 1999 and 2000 I attended the Gun Rights Policy Conference. I was thrilled with the people I met, the things I heard, and materials I obtained. If you consider yourself a gun rights activist you should be attending every year. This year I intend to be there again. I have put up a banner on the right side of this page. Click on it to register.
Here is what Ray Carter, Director of Development at the Second Amendment Foundation via email says about GRPC:
The 27th Annual Gun Rights Policy Conference (GRPC) will be held in Orlando, Florida from September 28-30, 2012. This event is sponsored by the Second Amendment Foundation (www.saf.org) and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (www.ccrkba.org)
GRPC has traditionally been the place to meet national gun rights leaders and activists, to develop gun rights victory plans, and allow attendees a firsthand chance to hear movement leaders and make their voices heard.
There is no registration fee and attendees are only responsible for their own travel expenses (transport, food and lodging). Participants are invited to the no host receptions on Friday and Saturday evenings and a free lunch on Saturday. Each attendee will receive over $150 of books and materials at no charge. More information can be found on http://www.saf.org/ and http://www.thegunmag.com/
With dozens of speakers, GRPC participants will examine critical issues such as: city gun bans, concealed carry, federal legislation, BATFE policies, gun show regulation, and state and local activity. The 2010 elections will be reviewed, the 2012 Presidential race discussed and recent and pending Right to Keep and Bear Arms cases will be analyzed.
Will I be seeing you in Orlando this fall?
Update: I’m committed. I have registered and booked my flights and hotel reservation. Robb and I will be there. You should be too.
Yes.
Yes you will 😉
No, I won’t be making that trip, unfortunately. I can only afford so many vacation days and so much travel, and the Gun Blogger Rendezvous is earlier that same month. Can’t possibly attend both, so GBR-VII it is.
Report in often!
Can’t justify the travel but I did make last year’s in Chicago (of all places). It was a great weekend.
The Complementary Spouse and I will be there. We’ve booked both our room and plane tickets. It will make my third GRPC and her second. I look forward to meeting both you and Robb.
