The 41st annual Gun Rights Policy Conference is officially open for registration, and if you care about the future of the Second Amendment, this is one event you don’t want to sit out. Set for September 25-27 at the Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport, GRPC 2026 brings together some of the sharpest legal minds, grassroots organizers, and communicators in the movement. Confirmed speakers include Second Amendment litigator Joseph Greenlee, whose work on cases like the upcoming Garland v. VanDerStok has serious implications for the ATF’s rule-making power, along with rising voices such as Jared Yanis, Kenyon Gleason, Shermichael Singleton, Jeff Folloder, Chris Boeck, and Fernando Nava. The fact that this year’s lineup blends veteran courtroom warriors with fresh perspectives signals that the gun rights community is deliberately building both depth and breadth as it heads into what will likely be another decade of unrelenting legal and cultural pressure.
What makes GRPC consistently valuable isn’t just the speaker list; it’s the unfiltered exchange of strategy that happens when hundreds of activists, lawyers, writers, and podcasters gather under one roof. This is where the real work of protecting shall-not-be-infringed gets mapped out beyond the headlines. Adding AMM-Con, the Second Amendment media conference on Friday, September 25, is a particularly smart move. In an era where corporate media treats firearms ownership as an inherent social disease and legacy gun organizations sometimes fumble the cultural conversation, training effective communicators has become existential. The ability to frame arguments, dismantle bad faith narratives, and reach audiences that CNN and MSNBC will never touch may ultimately prove as important as any courtroom victory.
For the 2A community, GRPC has always served as both a family reunion and a war council. As federal courts continue to wrestle with the Bruen decision’s history-and-tradition test, and as blue states double down on defiance through permitting schemes, sensitive places restrictions, and assault weapon bans, having a dedicated space to align legal strategy with grassroots energy and digital-age messaging is more critical than ever. Whether you’re a seasoned activist looking to sharpen your game or a newer supporter trying to figure out how to make a real impact, reserving your spot now isn’t just about attending another conference. It’s about planting yourself at the intersection of law, culture, and politics where the actual defense of the right to keep and bear arms is being coordinated for the battles ahead.
