Friends,
The 41st annual Gun Rights Policy Conference (GRPC) is approaching quickly and the planning committee is pleased to announce two new speakers! The Honorable Roger T. Benitez (Ret.) will give the keynote address and Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice Harmeet Dhillon will also speak during the event.
Judge Benitez earned national recognition as one of the most consequential judicial defenders of the Second Amendment in the post-Heller era. Applying the Supreme Court’s decisions in Heller and Bruen, he issued rulings striking down California’s ban on large-capacity magazines (Duncan v. Bonta), another ban on so-called “assault weapons” (Miller v. Bonta), and the state’s error-prone ammunition background check (Rhode v. Bonta).
In addition, Second Amendment advocate and Congressional candidate Brandon Herrera, ATF Director Robert Cekada and ATF Chief Counsel Robert Leider will all address the crowd at GRPC 2026!
Co-hosted by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA), the event is scheduled for Sept. 25 – 27 in Dallas at the Westin Dallas Fort Worth Airport hotel. Reserve your spot and book your hotel room HERE!
