4: Ladies First: Welcoming—and Keeping—New Women Gun Owners Seminar

Of the 21 million guns sold in the United States in 2020, 40 percent were to women—more proof that America’s gun-owning demographic is experiencing a seismic shift. Many of these women are opting for a firearm for their own personal protection; others simply want to join in the fun of shooting targets with their gun-owning friends. But beyond the “why” so many women are joining the ranks of gun owners are the questions of how to keep them coming back to the range, and how to educate them in becoming warriors in the fight to preserve the Second Amendment. Join us for a no-holds-barred panel discussion in which you will meet the leaders of some of the largest and most active gun groups for women who, through their individual platforms, are at the forefront of recruiting, motivating, and training thousands of American women gun owners across the country every year.​ The seminar takes place from 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. on Sep 4, 2021, Room 371ABDE. Tickets are not required.

We can't wait to see you there!
