G.O.A.L.S. 2025 in History
Gun Owners of America was founded in 1976 and has carried the motto No Compromise ever since. G.O.A.L.S. brings its members, activists, attorneys and industry supporters together each summer for an exhibit hall, hands-on training, legal briefings and speakers from across the gun rights movement. In 2025 the summit came to East Tennessee.
Our Take on G.O.A.L.S. 2025
G.O.A.L.S. is a working event for the gun rights movement, not just a place to shop. The best part of the floor is the mix of grassroots groups, legal teams and companies all in one hall, and the patch tables show it: state gun rights groups hand out patches that say exactly what they stand for.
Patches and Loot from G.O.A.L.S. 2025
The loot came home in bags and got opened live, stickers and patches from state groups like the Virginia Citizens Defense League.
