The Gun Rights Policy Conference, GRPC, is the annual fall meeting of the people who work on the legal and political side of the Second Amendment: attorneys, legislators, organizers, writers, podcasters and grassroots activists. It is hosted by the Second Amendment Foundation and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, and the host city changes every year.
The Gun Websites crew has covered GRPC in person, on the road and online, from the Gun Show Loophole Tour to Chicago in 2018 to the virtual years and the 40th conference in Salt Lake City.
