Can't make it to Dallas? Gun Rights Policy Conference will stream online.

The Second Amendment Foundation’s annual Gun Rights Policy Conference (GRPC) is scheduled for October 1st and 2nd in Dallas. This year’s conference is the 37th of its kind and after a 2 year hiatus of having been strictly virtual, patriots are gathering in person. Not able to make it to Dallas for the conference? No problem. This year’s event, much like many in the past, is going to be streamed live for those that can’t attend in person to watch from the comfort of their own homes. Not only will the many insightful speakers be heard live, they can also be re-watched afterwards. Streaming and video archives will be on the Second Amendment Foundation’s respective YouTube and Facebook pages.

As previously reported, the Second Amendment Foundation does some important work in the gun rights arena. The SAF does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to launching litigation and fighting for our rights. The GRPC is not only a way for patriots to gather together, but to also learn about what’s happening all over the country concerning the Second Amendment and gun related issues.
