The Gun Rights Policy Conference (GRPC) is locking in its 2026 dates and venue, with the planning committee out of Bellevue, Washington, announcing January 15 as the kickoff signal for what promises to be a pivotal gathering for Second Amendment advocates. While full details on the exact dates and location are still unfolding, this early heads-up from the GRPC team—longtime stewards of the event through the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA)—signals a return to form after years of navigating pandemic disruptions and venue battles. Picture this: hundreds of pro-2A heavyweights, from grassroots activists to policy wonks and industry leaders, converging to dissect the latest legislative threats, celebrate hard-won court victories like Bruen, and plot the next offensive against creeping gun control.

What makes this timely? We’re staring down a post-2024 election landscape where the Supreme Court’s protective shadow over the Second Amendment could either solidify or fray, depending on November’s outcomes. GRPC isn’t just another trade show—it’s the intellectual war room where ideas like constitutional carry expansions and preemption laws get battle-tested. Last year’s event sparked real momentum, influencing state-level pushes in places like Virginia and Pennsylvania; expect 2026 to amp that up amid rising ATF overreach and ballot initiatives in blue states. For the 2A community, attending means networking with Alan Gottlieb, Dudley Brown, and rising stars, while dodging the echo chambers of social media for substantive strategy sessions.

Mark your calendars, patriots—this isn’t optional homework. GRPC 2026 will arm you with the intel to counter anti-gun narratives and push for nationwide reciprocity. If you’re in the fight, snag early registration when it drops; these events sell out fast, and missing it could mean playing catch-up while others shape the battlefield. Stay vigilant, stay engaged—the right to keep and bear arms demands it.
