If you’re a gun owner and find yourself near San Diego this weekend—or are willing to make the trip—there’s still time to register for the 39th Annual Gun Rights Policy Conference (GRPC), set to take place from September 27 to 29 at the San Diego Marriott Mission Valley. Co-hosted by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA), the event promises to bring together a diverse group of gun rights advocates and activists under the theme “Empower, Educate and Defend!”
Registration for the event is still open on the SAF website, and for those unable to attend in person, the entire conference will be livestreamed across multiple platforms, including SAF’s YouTube channel.
The conference, which has become a key annual event for gun rights supporters, will feature nearly 40 speakers from across the Second Amendment community. Topics will range from the latest legislative developments to strategies for the 2024 elections and ongoing firearms-related litigation. Featured speakers include prominent figures such as National Review columnist John Fund, SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb, SAF President Massad Ayoob, SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut, and several others from organizations such as the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and the National Rifle Association (NRA).
The schedule of events kicks off on Friday evening, September 27, with registration and a reception from 7 to 9 p.m. The full conference will take place on Saturday, starting at 8 a.m. and running until 5:30 p.m., followed by an evening reception. The final session will be held on Sunday morning from 9 a.m. to noon.
Gottlieb emphasized the urgency of this year’s event, given the upcoming national elections and ongoing challenges to the Second Amendment. “The timing and importance of this year’s conference cannot be overstated,” Gottlieb said. “With the national elections just over the horizon and the Second Amendment under constant attack, this weekend’s gathering takes on a special significance.”
Sponsors for this year’s GRPC include major industry names such as SIG SAUER, Silencer Shop, Taurus, Magpul, Lipsey’s, Blackout Coffee, and Kali Key.
