The spokesman for the Gun Owners of America discusses what attendees can expect from the event, which takes place next month.
The Republican National Convention may be in full swing this week, but private gun owners and Second Amendment supporters are looking forward to another event next month.
The Gun Owners Advocacy Leadership Summit – or G.O.A.L.S. for short – is set to take place in Knoxville, Tennessee on August 17th and 18th, at the Knoxville Convention Center. This first-time event is a “community-driven convention and expo” that will deliver “a community-focused, positive event for members and industry partners.” It will focus heavily on the “’No Compromise’ stance on the Second Amendment,” celebrating everything that it stands for.
At the event, fans can expect panels and talks from content creators, brands and leaders, as well as breakout sessions (including women’s and student’s forums), a full exhibition hall, and much more. The show will also feature various media personalities to discuss their thoughts on all things guns and Second Amendment issues.
Tickets are available now, and here to discuss the event further is Stephen Willeford, spokesman for the Gun Owners of America (GOA). You may recall Willeford being the “hero with a gun” with the Sutherland Springs situation in 2017, in which he’s co-authored a book. His expertise on gun rights make him an ideal guest for this subject. Welcome, Stephen!
Q&A:
- What makes the G.O.A.L.S. event so significant this year? The fight against those who try to ban guns? Or a celebration of the Second Amendment? Perhaps both?
- What can attendees usually expect from an event such as this?
- Are you excited to attend? Will you be doing any speaking at the panels? Or are you going just to talk with other fellow gun owners?
- What do you think about the show taking place in Knoxville?
- You recently wrote a book called A Town Called Sutherland Springs: Faith and Heroism Through Tragedy, revolving around your 2017 “hero with a gun” situation. Tell us more about how this came together, and why it’s such an important read right now.
- Where can people find your book?
- Where can we learn more about you, as well as Gun Owners of America?
