Gun Owners Foundation’s Empowered 2A is cranking up the firepower for women in the firearms world with National Women’s Range Day on June 6, 2026, at the Sig Sauer Academy and Experience Center in Epping, New Hampshire. This isn’t your average range picnic—it’s a powerhouse event hosted by GOF’s coalition of female firearms enthusiasts, featuring top-tier instructors, advocates, and hands-on training at one of the most advanced shooting facilities on the planet. Sig Sauer’s academy isn’t just a range; it’s a 350-acre proving ground with state-of-the-art simulators, live-fire courses, and immersive experiences that turn novices into confident shooters. Picture this: hundreds of women from across the country converging on this mecca to shatter stereotypes, master marksmanship, and celebrate the Second Amendment in a setting built for excellence.
What makes this a game-changer for the 2A community? In an era where anti-gun narratives paint firearms ownership as a male, white, rural domain, events like this flip the script with data-backed impact—women now make up over 30% of new gun owners, per NSSF stats, and they’re the fastest-growing demographic in concealed carry permits. GOF’s move to partner with Sig Sauer signals a strategic masterstroke: elevating women’s voices through elite training fosters lifelong advocates who’ll defend rights in courtrooms, legislatures, and family dinner tables. It’s not just empowerment; it’s multiplication—each participant leaves equipped to recruit friends, influence policy, and counter the cultural war on self-defense. Critics might scoff, but this is grassroots activism at its finest, proving that when women wield the tools of freedom, the anti-2A crowd’s days are numbered.
Mark your calendars, ladies (and supportive gents)—this is your invitation to join the ranks of armed, empowered patriots. With GOF leading the charge, expect ripple effects: more female-led training programs, louder voices in pro-2A lobbying, and a fortified front against incremental encroachments on our rights. If you’re not training tomorrow’s defenders today, you’re just target practice for the gun-grabbers. Who’s ready to lock and load?
