G.O.A.L.S., the Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit, is the yearly convention of Gun Owners of America. It packs an exhibit hall of firearms and gear together with hands-on training, legal briefings and speakers from across the gun rights movement, and it draws gun owners, activists and industry from all over the country.
The Gun Websites crew has been on the floor at G.O.A.L.S. in 2025 and 2026. Each visit has its own page with photos, patches and videos.
